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,
M.


If the clips are the same as the one in my (newly tiled) bathroom I used
chrome picture hanging wires, bent small hooks which went through the screw
hole in the bottom clips, then threaded the wire through the top clips from
front to back. Fitted the clips round the mirror and, with fine nosed pliers
bent a dog-leg to hold the top clip in place. (It's obvious when you see
them in place) I then hung the mirror on the wires (from a false ceiling
frame).

Option 2 would be fix the mirror to, say, marine plywood, with the clips,
then fix the hanging wires to the backing.
