Okay. 

So I'm not really going to hang eyeballs

on the wall.

Not anytime soon at least.

BUT.

I do have top down honeycombs

on most of my windows.

Here is what my dining room looks like

Note the fall table setting (smile).

By now, we all know 

that I'm a pretty lazy DIYer

Okay.

Not "lazy"

Just crunched for time

and always looking for a shortcut

So here's my latest shortcut 

for hanging similar items evenly

on either side of a window.

Start with your blinds pulled all the way up

(note: they don't have to be top downs,

i used the bottom edge to do my eyeballing)

I pulled my blinds down about 6 inches

and used the bottom edge of the blinds

to be the top edge of the paper cut out

of my piece that i was hanging

Tacked the paper to the wall

on each side of the window

like this:

I pulled the blinds down some more
remember, I just eyeballed this
so no idea how many inches.

I was hanging three on each side,
so I just pulled the blinds down
about halfway down the window

More eyeballing

Step 3 and 4

After the halfway pull
I pulled them down again
about 6 - 8 inches
again, eyeball it

Steps 5 and 6

Voila.

If instead of just using flat tacks
you actually use smallhead nails you will use
to hang your art,
you can actually pull your paper placeholders
right off the wall
and the nails will pull right through the paper

And if you just throw your art down on a bit
of butcher block paper
and trace the outter edge
you'll have paper placeholders for your art
that you can tape up
before you knock a billion holes into your wall

Just saying.

Happy crafting
