How Do I Hang an Outdoor Wreath on Windows?
Wreaths are a festive way to add holiday decorations to the outside of your house. These decorations showcase your holiday spirit and make guests and visitors feel welcome before they even enter your home. If you want to display Christmas wreaths on the outside of a window, inexpensive adhesive plastic hooks can make your job easy. Does this Spark an idea?
Adhesive Hooks
Adhesive hooks are small, inexpensive plastic hooks you can buy from most retailers and hardware stores. They have an adhesive back that can be stuck to nearly any surface. Good-quality sticky hooks can hold up to several pounds of weight.
To get started, remove the protective backing from the adhesive hook and stick the hook to the window. Using your thumbs, press the hook firmly against the glass and hold for 10 seconds. This will ensure that the hook is firmly attached to the window.
Test
Once the hook is attached to the window, test the hook's strength by lightly tugging it from side to side to see if it wiggles. If the hook stays firmly in place on the glass, it is safe to hang a wreath from. If the hook wiggles, try pressing your thumbs against it for another 10 seconds. If the hook will not stick firmly, you are using a low-quality adhesive hook and need to buy a better brand.
Hang
Hang the wreath on the hook. If you are worried that the weight of the wreath is too much for the hook, adhere two sticky hooks side-by-side and hang the wreath from both. The sticky hook will be hidden by the top of the wreath, so you will not be able to see how the wreath is attached to the window. When the Christmas season is over, simply remove the wreath and pull the hooks off the glass. If any adhesive residue remains, simply wipe it down with glass cleaner.
Other options
If you don't want to use adhesive hooks on your windows, suction cup hooks are another option for small, lightweight wreaths. However, these do not tend to be as durable as adhesive hooks and may not be able to support a heavy wreath.
