Moxie Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I have some ugly chalkware (basically plaster of Paris) fruit that was my grandmother's. I want to hang them but the hooks that are in the plaster are rusted and broken. Command strips don't stick. Any ideas? I'll try to put a link to what they look like. They are really ugly but I love them hard. https://www.google.com/search?q=chalkware+fruit+face+plaques&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari#imgrc=_PfdR3zR0J2M_M: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aura Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I would super glue some twine on the back to form a loop. Or use some other heavy-duty glue from the hardware store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aura Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I think they're cute, btw. My grandmother had some, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Maybe use shadow boxes, so that if they fall they won't fall far enough to break? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could glue them directly to the back of the box, and hang the box. It would make such a pretty showcase and protect them, too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
