Hello Katie, if I understand you correctly you're trying to do something like this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEqweEDFkRo
I think you could use the type of hinge that is made for hanging cabinet doors. Study your kitchen or bathroom cabinet to see how it is hung. If you want it to be invisible, it would be more similar to a medicine cabinet hinge.

Hello. I would suggest using a hinge type mechanism and wire or eyebolts and wire if you plan to access and open your item. Having a sawtooth type hanger might be too unstable.
Hello,
If all else fails use Velcro!
Hi Katie,
Use the screws that fit the hinge or maybe "No More Nails".
You can use pretty well any hinge, just swing by the store and choose a size that fits your project.
