Depending on the material of the items you wish to hang, using a flat them-tack to affix the soda tab to the back of what you wish hang works well. Hot glue gun glue can be used to adhere the tab onto the item, but I would rely on this option for very light items, only (or ones that are not breakable).Helpful Reply -

I use superglue, but first I bend the tab out, just a bit, from the bottom. It allows a little space for when you hang it. I may not have explained that very well. I know superglue is supposed to dry quickly, but I allow some time (an hour or more) and test the adhesion before hanging the item.If it's a wood backing, you can also screw them on with small screws or nail them with small finishing nails. The tabs are aluminum so they're easy to screw or nail through.Helpful Reply -

I would use E6000 or Loctite . Hot glue is not that sturdy .Helpful Reply -

I used these with hot glue, my pictures were actually coasters that I hung in my kitchen, so if your pictures aren't heavy I think hot glue is fine.Helpful Reply -
