Soda Tab Picture Hangers

You want to hang a new piece of art you've acquired and realize there's no hanger on the frame. From deep within the Carey brothers? vault of refreshing ideas, we bring out pop-top smarts. When you find yourself in need of a picture hanger (or two), instead of heading out to the hardware store or local art-supply house, head for the fridge and grab a cold one (a beer or soda can). Then, as you pop it open, continue wiggling the tab. After a time or two, it'll break off and you'll be left holding the perfect picture hanger. Just nail or screw the bottom edge to your frame, bend the top out slightly and place the hole on your wall hook or nail. Then settle back, sip your drink and admire your newly hung artwork.
