Hanging succulents planters
+10
I've made several teacup and saucer succulents planters designed to hang on the wall. Also layered plates, saucers and cups. They're adorable but I have run into snag - nothing holds the hangers on the back. E6000 and Gorilla Glue Epoxy proved disastrous. Help!

Have you tried the old fashioned plate hanger that is an adhesive tag with en eye/grommet on it? Hard to explain but they have a very strong adhesive. You could also try 3-M Command strips or a wire and spring traditional style plate holder.

I have plates hanging on my fence outside. The wire and spring holders work well.

Since you don't have to worry about cracking over time when you use a wire and spring hanger, I would buy one and give it a try. They come in sizes so measure.

The eye/grommet hangers worked excellent. I still have plates hanging 20 years later using them. Hovever, I cannot find them anymore. All I find is command hooks, which are great "hooks", but don't have the eye/grommet feature needed for the back of a plate.

Plate hangers are great and add a bit of "old fashioned" to the look.

Buy a diamond drill bit (about $5) and drill a small hole in the plate (husband's drill press is best) Then you can hook the plates onto nails or make wire or fishing line loops to hang plates wherever you want.

I've used a bent wire coat hanger and bent the circle to fit a screw; don't put the screw all the way in post to give hanger room. Bend the bottom part up. It may take a few hanger to get the right angle. Bend about 2-3' from bottom straight bar up; test to see if it's a fit. i then sprayed them. A sage or black would be nice on yours.Good luck.

I read somewhere that outdoor adhesive caulk works, but i have not tried it. Your planter looks very nice,will be adorable with a plant.

drill with a diamond drill bit with a normal drill at slow speed. squirt with water to keep cool while drilling, removing ceramic dust from hole. NOT a scarey as it seems. Its more scary to use glue once you know how!

Nautical glue is supposed to be the best

Command strips (one or two each) should be strong enough, as long as you follow the directions in terms of wait time.
