I absolutely love living in an old house. The character in our home is so…
How to Hang Small Objects on the Wall
Sometimes we lovers of home decor can come to a roadblock. A speed bump, a halt on the road to beautifully decorated walls. Just how to hang something up.
A few weeks ago I finally got around to making a gallery wall of the old objects we’d found in our house when we moved in. Some of these were really small and lightweight.
But I have figured it out! Fear not, you can hang small objects on the wall without any hardware showing. Want to know more? Read on! {Why do I sound like an infomercial? OK I’ll stop.}
The objects I had to hang up were these old fold able rulers that we found in the garage. There were two parts, both small and lightweight with no apparent way to hang them on a wall. Here is how to hang small objects on the wall.
I planned to arrange these with other items we’d found, some framed, some not. I mapped out with craft paper where I would put them all.
The first thing that came to mind when I realized the special shape and nature of the rulers were Command Strips. I found some small Frame Stabilizer Strips and knew they would be just the thing! They are two small parts that “snap” together to hold the object on the surface.
I held the rulers on the wall and marked where I would put the strips, then I secured one side on the wall.
Then I put them on the back of the ruler and “snapped” it into place on the strips on the wall. You can actually hear it click together, very neat! Then you know it’s working.
They hold perfectly and you can’t even see the strips at all, take a look.
I arranged both pieces on the gallery wall with the other pieces.
See the whole gallery wall here. I was really happy with this option for hanging things up.
Have you used these Command Strips before? Have any small objects you need to get hung up? Let me know if you try them out.

Those are awesome!! Never seen them before, although I do use command hooks on occasion. Yay for something new!! 🙂
I love command strips but I have never seen those before! Great solution! I love the gallery wall too – It is a great conversation piece to kind of “introduce” people to your new old home! 🙂
I just bought some of these last week to hang a scrabble board on the wall. I haven’t tried it yet – but now I’m totally inspired with the foldable yard sticks! Love it!
Love what you did with those move-in finds!
Love it! Please post this, and anything else you may have, in my link party at
