Plate Hangers




Did you know that adhesive plate discs exist? They stick to the back of your plates and when installed, no hook or holder is visible. Perfect! What happens in the future when you want to remove them? Just soak the plates in warm water and the disc loosens and you can simply peel it off. They come in all sizes, can be trimmed to fit, and the larger disc can support a 6.5 lb plate. You simply wet the disc and rub the glue around with your finger. Then you position it on the back of your plate. Let this dry overnight and that's it, you're done. I think these discs answer a question I've had since viewing this image in Living Etc. ages ago - how did they install them? It looks like some have wire holders, others do not. The image isn't clear enough for me to see. But I know this for sure, I would prefer to do things my way - no visible holders. And though I can't be sure, I'm thinking it would be easy with these disc plate holders and a few tiny wood blocks (from the craft store) in varying heights painted the same color as your walls, screwed into the wall, for the lovely three dimensional effect. I tried to find them on-line via http://www.livingetc.com/ but didn't have much luck. So keep an eye out in your local hardware stores. (Source Design Sponge)
