How to Hang Bud Vases With Wire & Eye Hooks

Bud Vase With Handle

• 1

  Fill your bud vase with water and plant food, then insert the flower.

• 2

  Use a joist/stud detector to locate the joist or beam in your ceiling. Use the detector in the general areas where you want to hang the vase.

• 3

  Turn on your electric drill and drill a hole into the joist. The drill bit should be a bit smaller than the screw on the eye hook. Insert the screw end of the eye hook into the drilled hole, and twist it until it is stiff.

• 4

  Wrap the end of your wire around your finger once, and twist off the end to close in a loop shape.

• 5

  Wrap the other end of the wire around the handle on the hanging bud vase and close off the knot.

• 6

  Climb up the ladder and hook the loop around the eye hook.

Bud Vase Without a Handle

• 7

  Drill a small hole on each side of your vase toward the top using a diamond drill bit. Drill slowly.

• 8

  Cut a piece of wire to use as the hanging handle. For a low hanging vase, cut a 2-feet piece of wire.

• 9

  Thread the wire through one of the holes and tie off a knot. Repeat this step for the other hole.

• 10

  Hang the wire handle over the eye hook.
