Command Hooks for hanging a quilt
2 Attachment(s)
I needed an inexpensive way to hang a small wall quilt. My husband cut a strip of oak wood for a bar. I purchased Command metal hooks and bent them for a smaller opening. My sleeve was just a little larger to allow for the hooks to go under the bar. Command strips will be used to hold the hooks onto the wall. As advertised the strips can be pulled from under the hooks to remove them without damaging the wall.
Have any of you used this method for hanging? How did you like it? |
Looks like you've got a great idea! On the package there is usually given a weight allowance. How much does this wall hanging weigh? If you're under the weight suggestions, it should do ok. Let us know how it works out.

Looks great as long as the weight restrictions work!

Yes, that is what I used to hang my design wall and it is great. Has been up for two or three years. Command stuff is the greatest. I use them in my RV also. There are all different kinds and be sure to look at the Lbs. for different things.

I bought them but found out they don't work on textured wall which my apt walls are. I do have those hooks and they are handy for the side on cabinets !! At least they are smooth !!

I also use Command hooks to hang my Design wall. They work great and have been up 2--3 years with incident. Your plan looks great and I'm sure it will work. I am going to keep this in mind for my display wall. I have quilts all over the place and have been looking for an inexpensive way to hang a couple.

They worked well on my walls only after I really rubbed down the area with whatever it is they suggest you use ... alcohol? maybe.

For years I've used 'monkeyhooks'. I hung a 60x60 wallhanging (slats on the top and bottom) with no problem.
Also used them to hang a fairly large and heavy mirror - I used two for this just to be safe. www.monkeyhook.com |
Very creative.
I've tried using them to hold my rulers - and ended up with several rulers on the floor - even though they were less than the advertised weight. Cheers, K |
Why could you use about four of them or even more to hold a heavier wall hanging? I wish I would thought of them before we screwed screws to hang my light weight wall hanging. I am limited by my thoughts, all too often.
