How to Hang Gremlins and Toxictoons Wall Decor Safely

Quick answer

Plan the full arrangement on the floor first, then mount each piece with removable adhesive strips or small nails suited to your wall, and level every item before stepping back. This keeps lightweight Gremlins and Toxictoons prints flat, evenly spaced, and easy to remove later.

Step-by-step hanging process

1. Lay out the full set on the floor: Arrange all nine Toxictoons pieces or all four Gremlins designs in the order you want, adjusting gaps until the group looks balanced. Common mistake: hanging pieces one at a time and discovering the spacing is off after the first two are stuck. Photograph the floor layout so you can recreate it exactly on the wall.
2. Measure the footprint and mark a center line: Measure the total width and height of your arrangement, find the center of the wall area, and mark it with painter's tape. Common mistake: centering each piece individually instead of centering the whole group. Keep the tape marks light; heavy pencil lines can show through light paper edges.
3. Choose adhesive strips or pin nails for your wall: Use removable adhesive strips on smooth painted drywall; switch to small pin nails on textured, wallpapered, or freshly painted surfaces. Common mistake: using tape or putty alone, which will not hold paper securely. Test one strip or nail in a hidden spot before mounting the set.
4. Mount the center piece first: Attach the middle item of your arrangement at the marked center, pressing adhesive strips firmly for the full contact time. Common mistake: starting at one edge, which leaves no room to correct the overall balance. Check the center piece with a level before adding neighbors.
5. Work outward with a spacer: Use a folded card or ruler as a consistent gap guide as you place each remaining piece left and right of center. Common mistake: eyeballing gaps, which makes a multi-piece horror art display look uneven. Keep the spacer against the wall edge, not the print face, to avoid scuffing.
6. Level and press each piece: Rest a small level on top of each piece and press the mounting point firmly once it reads level. Common mistake: pressing adhesive before leveling, which traps the piece crooked. Recheck level after all pieces are up, since pressing can shift neighbors.
7. Step back and adjust before final press: View the arrangement from across the room and shift any piece that looks crowded or low. Common mistake: leaving a layout that only looks right up close. Make final adjustments within the adhesive's repositioning window.

Product notes for this project

• Eric Pigors Toxictoons Wall Decor - Series 1: Series 1 includes nine Toxictoons wall decor designs in one officially licensed Eric Pigors collection. Nine pieces demand a planned grid or gallery layout, so measure the full footprint before hanging the first one.

  

• Gremlins Wall Decor: The Gremlins set contains four full-color designs drawn in a vintage early-1960s style. Four pieces suit a tight row or square cluster, which is easier to level than a scattered arrangement.
