How to hang plates on wall without plate hangers.

Find the center of the item to hang on the wall. Grab a closed safety pin and arrange it along the back bottom portion of your plate. Click the fasteners into place. Hung them like this because i thought i might pull them down occasionally and use them.

This larger loop is what will get glued to your plates. She had the plates up for about a year and not one plate ever fell. If you do decide to use command strips instead on plate hangers and nails make sure that both the back of the plate and the wall are clean. Lift the plate from the bottom and carefully ease it away from the wall.

One of the easiest ways to hang plates on a wall is with adhesive discs. The command strips work really well we used them in her previous house on a plate wall we did. Hang when the glue is cured. The discs come with a glue on the back that is activated when you add a little water.

Press each strip firmly against the wall for 30 seconds. Let it sit for about five minutes and make sure it is completely in tact with the plate. For most plates they can go anywhere on the back but since my plates had a directional motif i needed to make sure they were centered at the top. Press the plate onto the wall with the strips lined up.

All you have to do is simply wet your fingers with some warm water and rub them across the backside of the disc to activate the glue. Follow the directions on the glue packaging. Figure out the best plate hangers for you and hang them up. To attach it to the back of your plate you just need to dampen the adhesive surface like a stamp and stick it to the plate.

Then lay the adhesive side to the plate and smooth it on. Untwist the paperclip so you have a large hanging hook and the bottom loop. Remove the red liners and press the plate onto the wall for 30 seconds. Hang your plates with hot glue and safety pins as a budget option.

It will get thick and tacky. I already had a nail in the wall so hung one of the larger plates on that and worked around that center point. My original plan was to hang my plates using these disc hangers which are adhesive discs that you adhere to the back of your plates the advantages of the disc hangers are that they allow your plates to hang flat against the wall and they are invisible once you hang them. You stick them onto the back of your decorative plates and then hang the hooks attached to the discs on a wall.

I have colorful plates hanging from my kitchen wall on traditional plate hangers but everytime the air conditioner kicks on they vibrate and make an annoying humming sound all 6 of them.
