A method is disclosed, which may include attaching an apparatus to a picture frame, and removing an adhesive cover from the apparatus to reveal an adhesive surface. While the apparatus, without the adhesive cover, is still attached to the picture frame, the apparatus can be pressed against a surface of a wall so that the adhesive surface adheres to the surface of the wall. The method may further include detaching a first part of the apparatus from a second part of the apparatus so that the first part of the apparatus remains attached to the picture frame and the second part of the apparatus adheres to the wall. Fasteners may be inserted into the wall using the second part of the apparatus as a guide, and the first part of the apparatus and the picture frame may be hung from the fasteners.

What is claimed is: 1. A method for hanging a picture frame comprising: attaching an apparatus to a picture frame using a first set of one or more fasteners; removing an adhesive cover from the apparatus to reveal an adhesive surface; while the apparatus, without the adhesive cover, is still attached to the picture frame, pressing the apparatus against a surface of a wall so that the adhesive surface adheres to the surface of the wall; detaching a first part of the apparatus from a second part of the apparatus so that the first part of the apparatus remains attached to the picture frame by the first set of one or more fasteners and the second part of the apparatus adheres to the wall; inserting a second set of one or more fasteners into the wall using the second part of the apparatus as a guide; and hanging the first part of the apparatus from the second set of one or more fasteners so that the picture frame also hangs from the second set of one or more fasteners; and further comprising removing the second part of the apparatus from the wall, after the second set of one or more fasteners is inserted into the wall using the second part of the apparatus as a guide; wherein when the first part of the apparatus is hung from the second set of one or more fasteners, the second part of the apparatus is not attached to the wall and is not attached to the picture frame; wherein the second part of the apparatus includes a plurality of notches, including a central notch; wherein there is a central marking above the central notch; and wherein at least one of the second set of fasteners is inserted under the central notch and into the wall. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the second part of the apparatus has at least one top section, at least one bottom section, at least one right side section, and at least one left side section which together form an at least partially enclosed area into which a substantial portion of the first part of the apparatus can be inserted. 3. An apparatus for hanging a picture frame comprising: an adhesive cover; an adhesive surface; a guide cap; and a hanger; wherein the adhesive cover, the adhesive surface, the guide cap, and the hanger are attached to each other; wherein the apparatus can be attached to a picture frame using a first set of one or more fasteners; wherein the adhesive cover can be removed from the apparatus to reveal the adhesive surface; wherein while the apparatus, without the adhesive cover, is still attached to the picture frame by the first set of one or more fasteners, the apparatus can be pressed against a surface of a wall so that the adhesive backing adheres to the surface of the wall; wherein the hanger can be detached from the guide cap so that the hanger remains attached to the picture frame by the first set of one or more fasteners and the guide cap adheres to the wall; wherein a second set of one or more fasteners can be inserted into the wall using the guide cap as a guide; wherein the hanger can be hung from the second set of one or more fasteners so that the picture frame also hangs from the second set of one or more fasteners; wherein the guide cap has at least one top section, at least one bottom section, at least one right side section, and at least one left side section which together form an at least partially enclosed area into which a substantial portion of the hanger can be inserted; wherein the guide cap includes a plurality of notches, including a central notch; wherein there is a central marking above the central notch; wherein the hanger has a plurality of notches; wherein the guide cap has an enclosed area, the enclosed area having the same shape as the hanger; wherein the hanger is fitted within the enclosed area of the guide cap; and wherein at least one of the second set of fasteners can be inserted under the central notch and into the wall. 4. A method for hanging a picture frame comprising: attaching an apparatus to a picture frame using a first set of one or more fasteners; while the apparatus, is still attached to the picture frame, pressing the apparatus against a surface of a wall so that an adhesive surface adheres to the surface of the wall; detaching a first part of the apparatus from a second part of the apparatus so that the first part of the apparatus remains attached to the picture frame by the first set of one or more fasteners and the second part of the apparatus adheres to the wall; inserting a second set of one or more fasteners into the wall using the second part of the apparatus as a guide; and hanging the first part of the apparatus from the second set of one or more fasteners so that the picture frame also hangs from the second set of one or more fasteners; wherein the first part of the apparatus is comprised of an elongated plate, first and second inclined plates, and first and second further plates; wherein the first and second inclined plates are at an angle with respect to the elongated plate; wherein the elongated plate has a first end and an opposing second end, the first end of the elongated plate fixed to the first inclined plate, and the second end of the elongated plate fixed to the second inclined plate; and wherein the first further plate is substantially parallel to the elongated plate and is fixed to the first elongated plate, and the second further plate is substantially parallel to the elongated plate and is fixed to the second elongated plate. 5. The method of claim 4 further comprising removing the second part of the apparatus from the wall, after the second set of one or more fasteners is inserted into the wall using the second part of the apparatus as a guide; and wherein when the first part of the apparatus is hung from the second set of one or more fasteners, the second part of the apparatus is not attached to the wall and is not attached to the picture frame. 6. The method of claim 4 wherein the elongated plate includes a plurality of notches. 7. The method of claim 4 wherein the second part of the apparatus includes at least one top section, at least one bottom section, at least one right side section, and at least one left side section which together form an at least partially enclosed area into which the elongated plate of the first part of the apparatus, and a substantial portion of the first and second inclined plates of the first part of the apparatus can be inserted. 8. The method of claim 4 wherein the first further plate of the first part of the apparatus has an opening through which one of the first set of one or more fasteners can be inserted; and the second further plate of the first part of the apparatus has an opening through which one of the first set of one or more fasteners can be inserted. 9. The method of claim 7 wherein the second part of the apparatus includes a plate which lies outside of the at least partially enclosed area; and wherein the plate of the second part of the apparatus has an adhesive.
