How to Hang a Decorative Object From the Ceiling
- 1). Hang the item from the best place on the ceiling. Many people hang decorative objects in a corner of the room, over a dining table or in front of a window.
- 2). Depress the button on the stud finder and lay it on the ceiling area you chose.
- 3). Slide it across the area until the light indicates the presence of a stud. Many indicate a stud with a beep or a flashing light.
- 4). Draw a pencil mark on the area to indicate where you can attach the ceiling hook.
- 5). Drill a tiny hole in the ceiling where you made the pencil mark. Use a drill bit that is slightly smaller than the threaded section of the decorative hook.
- 6). Insert the end of the decorative hook with the threads into the hole.
- 7). Twist the hook until it is tight against the ceiling. If this is difficult to accomplish, use a pair of needle-nose pliers to grip and turn the hook until it is secure.
- 8). Hang the decorative object on the ceiling hook.
