Deer Old Window & Heavy Hanging Tip

I rarely pay full price for anything but as I walked through Homegoods the other day, I found something that I couldn't pass up.

A pewter looking deer head mounted on black wood.

He goes perfect with my old window.

I have to tell you - this window has saved my walls. I can make holes in the old wood and not touch the sheet rock. I used monkey hooks in the sheet rock and D rings screwed into the back of the window to hang it. If you don't know about monkey hooks - here is a picture of them.

You can find them in hardware stores or even Walmart in the section where other framing or hanging supplies are. They hold anywhere from 30 to 50 pounds each. The hole they leave in the wall is so small.

Here are D rings.

I use framing wire looped into them for smaller items, like in the photo above then I can use only one Monkey Hook in the middle of where I want to hang my art.

For heavier items like the big window - I screw a large D ring on two sides and hook them directly on the Monkey Hook!

The only thing is - if you hit a stud - you get to use a 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inch screw instead. 

Easiest way to hang anything...promise!
