How To Hang Up An Old Window On A Wall

If you give a hook a small tap with a hammer then it bites into the wood enough that you can usually screw it in by hand without drilling a guide hole first.

How to hang up an old window on a wall.

Ok so thats what the wall looks like. To repurpose an old window as a display shelf cut a piece of scrap lumber to the width of your window. I used a couple of different things depending on the size of the window. Find the ceiling joists or wall studs in the area where you plan to hang your window.

The lights were randomly taped into place inside the frames. A picture hanging screw has a phillips style screw head. One part of the cleat goes in the wall the other on the window. I have a window i still need to hang and i want to add more but i still love it now even not finished.

The depth of the shelf is up to you depending on what you want to display. Attach the window to wall studs when you are hanging it in front of another window. Drive one picture hanging screw through the wall and into the stud at the pencil mark with a power drill and a phillips head screwdriver bit. Steph made a little cover and painted them the wall cover to hide the battery boxes of the fairy lights.

You will need the ceiling joists if you are hanging the window as a room divider or in front of a floor to ceiling window. I originally bought some picture hangers for the back of each window that nailed into place.
