(Jump to video tutorial)

Follow these simple steps to securely hang your custom aluminum prints using our innovative 3D-printed ghost mounts! Designed for versatility and style, ghost mounts elevate your artwork by creating a stunning floating effect on your walls. Whether you prefer the included Command Strips for no-damage hanging or the drywall anchors and screws for a more permanent installation, our ghost mounts provide the perfect combination of functionality and elegance.

Why Choose Ghost Mounts?

  • Floating Effect: Ghost mounts create a sleek, modern “floating” appearance by subtly raising your prints off the wall, giving your artwork a professional, gallery-quality look.
  • Versatile Installation: Suitable for smooth or textured walls, ghost mounts can be installed using either Command Strips for a no-damage solution or drywall anchors and screws for more permanent installations.
  • Built-In Level: Say goodbye to crooked artwork! Our ghost mounts feature a built-in level for precise and stress-free alignment every time.
  • Reusable Design: The mounts allow you to easily swap prints, making it effortless to refresh your space with new designs or seasonal artwork.
  • Durable & Lightweight: Made from high-quality 3D-printed materials, ghost mounts are both strong and lightweight, ensuring your prints are securely held without adding unnecessary bulk.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

Step 1: Choose Your Mounting Option

Decide which installation method suits your wall type and preferences:

  • Command Strips: Ideal for clean, smooth surfaces and spaces where avoiding wall damage is a priority.
  • Drywall Anchors & Screws: Perfect for textured walls or when a stronger, more permanent setup is needed.

Step 2: Prepare Your Wall

  • For Command Strips: Clean the wall with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Allow it to dry completely for the best adhesive performance.
  • For Drywall Anchors & Screws: Gather your tools (e.g., drill) and prepare to create preholes for the anchors.

Step 3: Mark the Center

Mark the center point where you’d like to hang your print using a pencil or light marking tool. This step ensures perfect placement for your artwork.

Step 4: Attach the Ghost Mount

  1. Level the Mount: Use the built-in level to ensure the mount is perfectly straight.
  2. Secure the Mount:
    • Command Strips: Peel off the backing and press the mount firmly against the wall for at least 30 seconds.
    • Drywall Anchors & Screws: Drill preholes at your marked points, insert the anchors, and screw the mount securely into place.

Step 5: Hang Your Print

Align the back of your aluminum print with the ghost mount and hang it securely. Double-check that it’s level, and you’re done! Step back and admire your perfectly mounted, floating aluminum print.


Pro Tips for the Perfect Setup

Create a Gallery Wall with Ease

Transform your space into a professional gallery by hanging multiple prints in a row:

  • Use the built-in level on the first mount for perfect alignment.
  • Once mounted, draw a light horizontal pencil line across the wall using a straight edge or yardstick for additional mounts.
  • Follow the same steps to install the remaining prints, aligning them with the guideline.
  • Erase the pencil guideline with a soft eraser for a polished finish.

Easily Swap Prints Anytime

Thanks to the reusable design of our ghost mounts, switching out your prints is a breeze! Whether you’re updating your décor for a special event or rotating seasonal designs, our mounts make it simple to refresh your space without the hassle.
