Hey everyone! I'm looking for some advice on how to evenly space out 4 mirror clips for my round mirror. I have dyscalculia, which makes it hard for me to visualize things, so I could really use some clear instructions. I remember seeing a video where someone used tape to mark the wall for even spacing, and I've got all the necessary tools like drywall anchors, screws, and a drill. Can anyone guide me on this process? Thanks so much!

A straightforward way to do this: Start by placing one clip at the bottom center of the mirror. Then put another clip halfway up the side - it doesn't need to be exact. Use a level to mark the same spot on the opposite side of the mirror and install your clip there. Finally, put a clip on the very top of the mirror. This should give you good support!
Think of it like the face of a clock! Place the clips at 4:30 and 7:30 at the bottom to handle the weight, and then 10:00 and 2:00 at the top. This setup helps to distribute the weight better and keeps everything nice and secure.
You might want to consider placing the clips at 12 o'clock, 4 o'clock, 6 o'clock, and 8 o'clock instead of trying to space them evenly all around. It’s better to support the bottom of the mirror since that's where the weight will be, and you'll find it easier to position that way.
