I just used sawtooth, nail-in picture hangers that you can find in the framing section of the craft store or at the hardware store. They are very easy to attach to the backs of wooden plaques using a hammer, and have held mine just fine. Good luck!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15569345836078752499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630680333888371481.post-28060676971374519872013-10-20T20:15:57.357-04:002013-10-20T20:15:57.357-04:00Hi, can you tell me how you attached the plaques t...Hi, can you tell me how you attached the plaques to the wall?

You will find that stain on bare wood dries really quickly. I probably only waited an hour or so to paint. Would love to see how yours turn out!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15569345836078752499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630680333888371481.post-12903950973453000732013-06-03T12:35:14.730-04:002013-06-03T12:35:14.730-04:00I am so excited to try this!!

Have had my eyes on these plaques forever, and they never are offered as "bring home ballard" I am a novice in the first degree, so can you tell me what brand and color of stain you used? How long do you wait before you paint the stenciled portion? Thank you!!!
