I saw this idea in Flea Market Magazine and had to give it a go. It is super fast and easy, and costs not much. You don’t even need to buy plate wall hangers. I will be showing you a cheap way to display your plates on the wall using safety pins!
Supplies:
Collect old plates from flea markets, thrift stores, garage sales
E6000 Industrial Glue
Safety Pins
Numbers cut from Scrap paper
Glossy Accents or other craft glue
TUTORIAL:
Glue your numbers onto the plates. I cut mine from scrapbook paper using my cricut. I measured each plate diameter to determine what sizes to make the numbers.
Using E6000, glue safety pin onto back of plate, making sure it is centered so your number hangs upright. Let dry overnight.
Hang on wall in desired design. That is it!
I totally don’t get how to use the safety pin:(
Your instructions say to center it on the plate but yours is glued on the perimeter, not in the center. and you don’t say what to do with it. I assume you hang the nails in the wall and catch the pin on the nail, like a toothed plate hanger?
