December 26, 2013 By Meegan Leave a Comment

Best of What Meegan Makes 2013

Last May, I posted about this and had several questions whether it worked or not.  I can most certainly tell you that it does work without a hitch!  Ask my cute friend, Emily from 52 Mantels.  She has a whole wall using this method. Try it, you will like it.  That is a promise!!

Now, on to the most simple idea ever…Easy to hang decorative plates.  I mean, easy.

Don’t you just love the look of plates hanging on a wall?   I really do and finally found these 3 plates while thrifting a few weeks ago.  At 75 cents each, I couldn’t pass them up.  I mean, blue plates-I needed them now!!

I could picture them hanging above our pantry door.  It is a small space, but needed a little pizzazz.  These plates were the answer.  I like how they don’t match perfectly.  Two are from the same pattern, but still a little different.

Now for the super easy way to hang my blue plates…

I don’t really like the look of plate holders.  I know-maybe I am OCD, but the wires around the sides take away the plate’s beauty to me.  So, I decided to use:

Yep, you guessed it-Hot Glue.  Lots of it.  I tried using other glues like sure-bonder, but hot glue worked the best for me.

For my “hanger” I used a large paper clip.  It is strong and the right size for any size nail needed.
