happy Friday!
some of you have wanted to know more about the plates hanging in the kitchen/office area
how i hung them & where to find them
so i thought i'd show you a few close-ups!
i stumbled across this on Pinterest
Christina from the Frugal Homemaker uses some felt & hot glue to hang her plates!
that's it! no fancy gizmos!
i have to be honest about this...
there was much discussion between the hubs & me about this method of
hanging stuff over tile counters
that he painstakingly installed not that long ago :)
but it really works! ...
the hot glue really melts and welds the paper clip to the felt
since it's so fiber-ish
(know that's not a word)
(but this is my blog ... m'kay?)
they've been hanging for a few months now ...
every so often i'll peek to see if the clips are sliding out from under the felt...
nope! they're cemented on!
we're good :)
i have to admit ...
i have a problem with plates
vintage plates to be specific
i love them, and have too many of them
(cept that mint one with the butterfly ... that's from TJ Maxx :)
i found most of these at yard/rummage sales, and the thrift stores
(some were given to me by family)
it's almost yard sale season around here ...
my favorite time of the year
:)
here's a few other displays i fell in love with from around the web ...

i hope this inspires you to find a blank wall in your home
bust out your glue gun & felt ... and hang some plates!
have a wonderful weekend!

My best friend has always had plates on her walls and they were all from her grandmother's collections. I love the look-it makes me smile- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThe plates are great! Who doesn't love pale roses on china hanging on the wall?

DeleteYour plates are beautiful! I have been wanting to do this for a while now, but didn't want to spend the money on those fancy plate hanging discs. Thanks so much for sharing this idea! Best part is I already have the felt, glue gun, and paperclips! Woo! Hoo! I feel a project coming on!

Beautiful. I first saw the plate idea on another blog and loved it there, too. Maybe someday I'll come across some pretty plates and can do the same!

ReplyDeleteLove your dish wall and your inspiration images. I have been saving my grandmother's vintage plates for just this purpose whenever I decide which wall I want to decorate!
ReplyDeleteHi, I saw your link at Tatertots & Jello. I love your plate display! I actually collect vintage plates, too. Isn't it addicting? :) I love walking through yard sales or antique stores and finding new ones I love. Here are mine: http://this-little-house-of-mine.blogspot.com/search/label/plates

ReplyDeleteI have been obsessing over plate displays lately! I am trying to convince my fiance to let me hang them over our bed. He believes there will be a death by plate situation in our future. Anywho! Love your blog and your girls! XOXO

Pinterest is amazing, thanks for sharing the tip! I love the look of hanging plates but never saw a "clean" way to hang them- those metal spring- things they sell for this purpose absolutely kills the whole look. Your display is beautiful, by the way. Thanks again, Jaime!

How did I not know about the paperclip trick! love it! and Hurrah for garage sale season!!! I can't wait! especially now that I have a whole new house to furnish!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteMarion :)
I'm here from Andrea's to see your plate hanging trick! I tried hot gluing before and it didn't work! It must be the felt in your tip that does the trick! ♥
