      Thank u for this...I am so green. I have to do this without a controlling narcissist but well meaning father hearing or asking questions As I live in my bedroom I wanna make it my palace...so think using a drill may be, out. ...and I bought ceiling plant hangers obviously made just for entering wood DAH cuz the 2 i tried ain't, holding. Oh well another trip to the hardware store. One to return and if the right hangers aren't there off to home depot or Lowes auuuugh. I will check the garage for a power tool...I was going to buy a small drill one anyways to make holes in wood or other for creating wind chimes. Your presentation was funny engaging and bold...you rock

    I have used swag hooks for years…since way back in the days when we hung everything from our popcorn ceilings! I have always put the hook on the wing/bolt/nut part before I poke into the ceiling so I don’t take a risk of losing the nut part in the ceiling without the hook attached. Yes, that has happened to me! Good job at simplifying this diy that any woman can do herself!

    @cheshirecattict 3 роки тому +99

    You kind of made this harder for yourself than it needs to be. You're supposed to hold both wings down when pushing the toggle through the hole - they'll both pop open when they get through. It's also a lot easier if you screw the hook on first. You got the job done either way, but save yourself some trouble next time.
