These 7 simple hangers are common and work well for a little bit different use… Here’s how to use them and where you can get them.
I truly love to share simple tips and techniques with you for the sole purpose of offering encouragement. I want you to be able to DIY without being afraid. To understand things like simple picture hangers, may actually help build your confidence to hang a picture, plate or artwork yourself!
Last week I posted ‘5 Ways Hardware Made a Difference‘, because finding the right hardware piece can be the catalyst to make a creative idea come to fruition. Shopping links for each hanger are included.
Hollow Wall Anchor

This type of a hollow wall anchor is not meant for super heavy objects, but works well for hanging medium to lightweight items when there is not stud and you need just a little more than sheetrock alone.
THIS shopping link for is for screw in anchors that are rated for 55 pounds.
Cleat Style Hanger

This is a cleat style hanger. One half gets mounted on the wall and the other half on the back of the object. Then the two pieces slide down together and are very stable and sturdy.
This hanger is great for heavier objects and to create a flush mount hanging.
There are many different sizes of cleat hangers THIS shopping link is for small-medium.
3M Velcro Mounting Strips

3M Command Hook

I’ve used THESE 3M Command Hooks for so many different projects!
From the outdoor shower on the vinyl wall to provide towel hooks, to another fun use which was for mounting on the glass front door to hang THIS flower filled umbrella using a non-invasive hook.
Like most of these mounting hooks, there are different weight ratings for your project.
Magnetic Rod

Magnetic rods are available in several colors and styles now. The one I linked above is for a black one.
This little magnetic curtain rod has been a wonderful find for me. HERE you can see how I used it on the entrance door with no sew curtains.
Available in different sizes and finishes, they are super versatile for covering a window on a metal door that you don’t want to drill holes into!
Plate Hanger

THIS simple hanger is one that I use a lot of! I love to display vintage dishes by hanging them on the walls like art. I have vintage dishes hung in every single room of my house, bathrooms included!
The easiest and most used way I accomplish this is by using this simple plate hanger.
HERE is a link for a set of multiple sizes.
