Title: Ways to hang Boscoyo 42" Wreath
Post by: needbrew on August 29, 2016, 04:30:58 AM

Hi All,

Looking for ways that people hang the 42" wreath.  Mine will be in a large window outside so I need to make sure it does not get messed up in the winds.

Would be interested to hear how others are doing it.

Thanks

Mike

I don't own the Boscoyo wreath but would recommend the 'Command" strips from 3M for the bottom braces. You could hang the wreath from the top of the window frame. I do something similar with a smaller wreath on my front door.

I have screws in my rock front at strategic points and then I use bailing wire to attach to models and then string them to the strategic screw anchor points.

Does the wire not cut into the wreath if it gets windy?

My Chromaflakes hang beneath my arches.  I put a piece of paracord thru an open rib and tie each end separately to the arch.  That keeps them from spinning.  I have not noticed any problem with the wind blowing them back and forth like a swing, but that may be minimized because I have both input and output leads that dangle down to the ground.

Where do you get your paracord from?

Home Depot has some, but I bought mine from the local ARMY/NAVY surplus store.  I seem to recall seeing it at Lowes also. Or if you have a camping center near you.

Be sure to burn the ends after you cut it to keep it from unraveling.
