1. A bobby pin for nails
Are you afraid of the proverbial hammer hitting your fingers? Use a bobby pin. A normal-sized nail fits perfectly into the bobby pin spaces and you do run the risk of hurting yourself.

Put nails on the marks previously made, take off the tape, and your nails are in their ideal position.
