Bev!!!!!! Four quilts to the post office today!! Two wedding gift quilts and two Xmas present quilts!!! I did it!!!! Now it's your turn!!! You'll finish yours too! I know you will!!! My UFO pile is going waaaaaay down!! Only 2 1/2 projects pending. But already made a list of who needs a quilt next year!! Happy Canada Turkey Day!😍
Another tip is to wrap a light piece of wire around the nail from which your plate is hung and around the plate holder. This prevents the plates from dancing off the nail in the event of a tremor or major earthquake. We've seen a few of those around the world lately and I dont think any place is immune. I adore birds too Bev. ♥
THE AUTO REPAIR STORES HAVE SOME SHRINK WRAP FOR WIRING TO KEEP THE WEATHER OFF THE REPAIRED WIRE ON A CAR AND THAT WORKS TOO BLESSINGS & BE HOPE FILLED
Please, Bev, never use that type of hanger on anything with any value. Even if you have stopped the edge from chipping, the springs will eventually crackle the glaze.
Great idea. You could also use short strips of the aquarium or medical type clear tubing. Your idea is way cheaper unless you just happen to have tubing sitting around. It would be similar to using the rubbery type backs on the wire type earrings. I love all your ideas and tips. I especially love your lessons in canning foods. Great job. Hope you are feeling well these days.
OurHalfAcreHomestead 1 second ago I have ordered plate hangers from Walmart..they have the rubber tubing..but this one didn't. I am doing ok..but exhausted at the moment..I just steam cleaned my rug and runner rugs!
Most Glues dry hard resulting in brittle and none protective. Clear Silicon dries with rubber like consistency. I’ve resolved, protected and completed endless projects with Clear Silicon.
I use Flatiron discs from amazon. com they are extra strong and do not require metal around the edge of gold rimmed plates .. Hobby Lobby and Amazon.. better and stronger than what you are using
Coffee straws and a lighter will work beautifully and the straws are freeeeeeeeeeee! Just slip the straw on the hook and clip it off to size then lightly run a lighter flame over it to shrink it to the wire. No muss no fuss.
Great tip on saving from chipping! An FYI I had many plates hanging with those in my kitchen for years and one day I heard a loud crash, (the same type of hangers) one had failed/gave way and my plate was smashed to pieces on the floor.
Great Idea Thanks Mrs. V Have a Great Day Oh before I forget, ordered that Movie " Megan Leavey" IT WAS GREAT*** cried my eyes out in a couple parts if the Movie , LOL.
This video has perfect timing! I have some beautiful plates my husband and I were just discussing hanging on the wall. Awesome tip! Thank you for sharing. :)
Hey, Mrs. V. Just be careful with that kind of plate hanger as over time it can cause stress fractures (cracks) in your plates due to the tension of the springs. Since you have the certificates of authenticity for them, another options might be proper plate frames or possibly plate rails top and bottom with little stoppers on either side of the plate to keep them from rolling side to side. Just a thought as you would want to protect your investment. Thanks for sharing all you do and much love to the Volfpack.
