plate project and a giveaway!

The kind folks at DiscHangers recently sent me an assortment of DiscHangers to try out for a little project in my dining room. You may remember this post from forever ago... I started gathering random plates a few months back from yard sales, antique stores and even Homegoods for just a few dollars a piece. Then I spray painted the non-white ones with a glossy bright white paint. Here they are:


I just looked for shapes and designs I liked rather than the color! The DiscHangers were seriously so easy to use! You just moisten the backs of them with a little water and stick them right on the back of the plates. Let dry for 24 hours and then hang them up. So simple!


I decided on a design for the plates and then just hung them up with a few nails. Voila! Seriously so easy. I love the way it looks!




Now for the giveaway. DiscHangers is generously giving an assortment to one lucky reader so you can try them out too! Here's how to enter:

1. Leave a comment here.
2. Become a follower or let me know you already are by leaving another comment.
3. Post a link to this post on your blog or twitter and leave an additional comment letting me know you've done so.

  4. I have blue and white plates hung around the top of my kitchen. I wonder, are these plate hangers strong? I would be worried to have them drop. If they are safe and strong, it would be so much easier to move the plates around with those hangers!!

  5. Your display looks great! I've got some plates to hang in my dining room as well but I've been putting it off since I couldn't seem to find the plate hanger I wanted to use. Now - I think I've found it.

  33. It's great to see plates hung without those ugly prongs that you usually see on typical plate-holders. I'm a plate fan, and I'd easily put this product to good use!

    Thanks for the chance!

  34. Your plate wall looks awesome! I haven't used the disc hangers before but have always wondered if they really work...guess they do. I'll have to use them in my clients home.
