Guys,

Need a solution PDQ for this - SWMBO bought a round mirror from Ikea that is
supposed to be mounted on the wall via 4 spring loaded clips - they screw to
the wall and clip round the edge of the mirror.

All good so far - except it is destined for a wall I have just put wall
paper on (oh how I hate that job) and now I've got to drill 4 big holes in
it!

There is a picture rail, so what I want are clever ways to somehow hang the
mirror from the picture rail. The mirror is round, has no frame / backing
etc that I can connect anything on to. What would the group suggest?

** My deadline is 21.00 tonight - no solution - out with the drill! **

Cheers,

Screw the mirror to a circle of plywood, or screw it to 2 battens,
then fix the battens to the wall with a chain and picture rail hook ?
Or fix string to the clips and hang straight off them ?

Some photos of the clips would be useful.

It all depends how good you want the finished result to look.
All in all, drilling holes may be the easiest answer ! Two holes for
the top 2 clips may be enough.

Wedge some fabric or polythene between the mirror and the clips, and
hang from the fabric ?

fix some foam-adhesive pads to the back of the mirror and hang off
them ?

etc ...
