You might remember a little while ago I mentioned this, and before that, this. Well the end result was this wall display shown above (You can see it in a bit more detail here). The image has been floating around Facebook for a little while and a few people have asked how I did it. So, here's how...
It's really very simple, and quite versatile. I wanted to use plants just because we don't have plants anywhere else inside, but you could just as easily use them to hang jewellery, toiletries and beauty products, or in a different room for pens, paintbrushes, haberdashery etc.
You just need some pots with holes in them. These were a mix from IKEA and handmade from Etsy.
Fill the pots with whatever you want and then, here's the clever bit, so you don't knock ten bells out of your wall, I used Command hooks from 3M. They're special hooks that just stick to the wall then peel off without a trace, as long as you use them properly. They all say exactly what you can or can't do with them on the packaging but the main things to remember are that they only work on clean, flat, smooth surfaces, and do check the weight each hook will carry. Follow the instructions on the back of the package to make sure the hooks are attached properly so that they'll do their job and come away cleanly afterwards (it's very easy). Mostly I used the medium hooks (they look like this - left, though there's a huge range of different designs and sizes).
Just play around with your arrangement before you stick and hang it all, so that the contents of your pot hide the hook.
Job done. And by the way I'm still interested to hear what else you'd hang on a hook...
