How to stick a wreath to a mirror?

Another new name Sue — Wed, 13 Aug 2014 21:02:33 GMT

I said I wasn't going to buy anything VPH, but I do like that pumpkin wreath. Any idea if she'll bring on a more "fall" wreath or is this the fall wreath? (Probably no one knows, but I thought I'd ask.)

Anyway, I do have another wreath of hers which I was thinking to stick on the large mirror over the fireplace, and I am sure there must be a way to secure it, but I'm not sure what it is.

Command Hooks by 3M are my friend....use them for everything, never damages the surface and can be removed easily and some of the larger one's are for heavy items.

Valerie was using a suction cup hook on the set, but I'm always afraid that those will fall down. I have used Command hooks, but you must be very careful removing them. Do not pull up at all or you'll damage the underlying surface, although a mirror should be fairly safe, unlike a painted or porous surface.

They make the Command hooks in clear now. I don't think the wreath is very heavy, so a hook that holds up to 3 pounds should be more than adequate. I used THIS version last year to hold large letters made of boxwood leaves to some glass over pictures.

Thank you, everyone. Suction cups can "give up" so I'll look for the Command Hooks.

I use suction hooks, yes they do fall sometimes, but I just put them back up! Also, use them for outside at Christmas to put wreaths on my windows outside!

years ago QVC used to sell some large suction cup hooks. They were perfect and never gave up. They came in a set - I still have many of them.

try googling Snap hooks.

Another vote for Command Hooks. They are amazing!

I use a large suction cup hanger to hold my wreaths on my storm door. Hasn't failed yet. It's been there through rain, sleet and snow. Just make sure you clean your mirror before you try to use one.

I use fishing line to hang a wreath in my front door. It's cheap and you can't see it. Put a small nail or tack on the top of the mirror to hang it from. 3m hooks work good too.

To be safe, I'd use 2 3M Command hooks, more depending on the size of the wreath. And, absolutely PULL DOWNWARDS carefully when removing the hooks.

Command hooks are definitely the most fail proof. I use one on my front door for a wreath and they last for years. Never had any luck with suction cups.

I use fishing line. I make a loop (like an infinity scarf) and pull it through the wreath. I then just take the end and hook it over the nail holding the mirror.

I use suction hooks all the time on windows and mirrors. They stay put. I moisten them a bit on the back before putting them up. I literally have to pry them off when taking them down.

That is a very good idea. I wonder if my SIL will help me out with the finishing line. He is an avid fisherman. T

I love the suction cups that have the hook part you pull down to 'lock' the suction cup. I've never had one fall off. Easy to remove - simply lift the hook part up and then pull the little tab on the suction cup part.

Look for them at florists, e bay, amazon, hardware stores, ....

These are the kind I use, too. I found them at HL. They work great!
