Dude my husband made this sound like I was bout to have such a hard time doing this while he was away camping...I'm about to install a million before he gets back thanks to your no bullshit how to video. You are amazing thank you for uploading this and not adding weird annoying youtube music to it was another awesome bonus! I'm making sure to subscribe 💜
Omg same, my husband was dreading hanging my ceiling mount for my pots and pans. He's so dramatic lol it will be a piece of cake.. All we need are these hooks for easy ceiling mount.
Thank u for this...I am so green. I have to do this without a controlling narcissist but well meaning father hearing or asking questions As I live in my bedroom I wanna make it my palace...so think using a drill may be, out. ...and I bought ceiling plant hangers obviously made just for entering wood DAH cuz the 2 i tried ain't, holding. Oh well another trip to the hardware store. One to return and if the right hangers aren't there off to home depot or Lowes auuuugh. I will check the garage for a power tool...I was going to buy a small drill one anyways to make holes in wood or other for creating wind chimes. Your presentation was funny engaging and bold...you rock
Haha. That would be funny to watch his reaction to a million ceiling hooks all over the house. Are you going to string Christmas lights from them? Or perhaps a network of hammocks?
Just clicked on this video after deciding to install a hanging plant and let me just tell you you have the best most hilariously happy energy and I love you
I have used swag hooks for years…since way back in the days when we hung everything from our popcorn ceilings! I have always put the hook on the wing/bolt/nut part before I poke into the ceiling so I don’t take a risk of losing the nut part in the ceiling without the hook attached. Yes, that has happened to me! Good job at simplifying this diy that any woman can do herself!
I have plaster ceilings, and thought I was "screwed" until I watched this video, because my first installation attempt was an epic fail. You have proven me wrong. Thank you!
🇨🇦.....OMG you’re hilarious ! ... I’ve tried about 5 MALE videos on installing these bolts ... AND NOT ONE showed one being put in a ceiling !! ... I’ve never ever seen these used in anything BUT a ceiling !... took finding YOU ... a woman to get the job done right ! ... and I can guarantee I too will be re drilling same bit to make hole bigger lol ... thanks for your wisdom sister !
You kind of made this harder for yourself than it needs to be. You're supposed to hold both wings down when pushing the toggle through the hole - they'll both pop open when they get through. It's also a lot easier if you screw the hook on first. You got the job done either way, but save yourself some trouble next time.
@@cecilitaH no one is complaining about the video. If one were to read the instructions on the package on how to install, it will also tell you the correct way, which IS even easier, though not as entertaining.
Wow! I need your energy when I’m doing house work like this! I like this instead of the cursing at all the tools that I do when attempting to put up shelves 😅
Thank you so much for making this! I got stuck after I already drilled the hole and freaked out because I didn’t see how I could screw the hook up, but when you explained the friction part with the toggle bolt!! Pure gold! Thank you so much, this is my first apartment and I want to make it homey! So thank you x10
Thank you for this! I get so overwhelmed by the smallest of hone improvement tasks. I know nothing about drills and hanging things on walls. I’d love to see more content by you! How to fix a leak or hang a portrait would be great!!
You are my hero today!!!! I had an old hole I put my new anchor in but it was like 2” too long and I was panicking and then you said just keep screwing and it worked! I could cry! It’s flush with the ceiling now and I cannot wait to hang my plant!!
ADHD squirrel here.. Thanks for the video. I like to think of projects and buy supplies a full 12-36 months in advance and then one day decide to repot a plant and run into said supplies from other projects in a tool bag! I finally hung my macrame fruit basket from my toggle hook, thanks to this video 😂❤
SAAAAAAAME. It's kind of ridiculous how much stuff for projects I have all over my house. They'll get done eventually. And I love that you referred to yourself as an ADHD squirrel. One of my beasties calls me a coked out squirrel minus the coke. 😂
THANK YOU !!!!! Not only was I able to install my hook and plant, but I had a good giggle while watching the video. Subscribed and can’t wait to see more! Thanks again!
Wow, you addressed some things I wouldn’t even think of! Like making sure the hook is screwed onto the threading before bringing the hook base all the way up to the ceiling! I would have had it barely on the tip of the threading and I would have had plants falling everywhere! Thanks!
I love it! Thanks for the help on how to hang my plant...clearly the "coffee mug" hook I thought I could use was a NO! And I'm so glad to know I'm not the only person that doesn't want to get down off the ladder to get the right size drill bit! Haaa
I am truly enjoying your energy! My glass pot almost took me Out with a small hook that I used now I got it! I love your sleeves also! Clapping from Norfolk, VA!
Hilarious. Oh my gosh. I would watch again on those days when I just need a laugh!!!!! Not only hilarious but now I feel completely ready to hang my macrame!! Thank you!
It worked! Thank you. Plus it’s a funny video, So that doesn’t hurt. I did follow your advice and put the toggle all the way on the end so that it is just one end up into the hole. And then you pull on it and it opens. I had a smaller drill bit, which is safer I feel like. I did have to poke around lots to make the hole bigger. But voila!
Thank you! I know felt really stupid for not knowing how to this for a lamp in my room! And I didn't want to ask any of the *guys at work*! So thank very much for this video!
My gosh! This is my first in day time of my life. First video I watched.... I thought 'what the hell' then I watched your video...thank you! So easy once you explained it!
Absolutely perfect video exactly how I like to do things! Was like watching a video of a previous project I have done. Very helpful when someone speaks your project language. One house plant hung two more to go. Thanks Kristine your the best.
Huge help! I saw these "hooks with anchors" on Amazon and I'm staring at them thinking " HOW THE HELL DO I GET THAT ON MY CEILING AND HANG A PLANT FROM IT???!!! Thanks to you no longer a concern 😀
Thanks for this. I want to hang plants but couldn't figure how to safely do it. First home and a new plant mom. I actually returned my macrame holders bc i felt defeated. But now I've found this nugget and I'm gonna make it happen❤
You are a life saver!! Years ago I tried this, pre-TH-cam and it was a disaster! You make it look so easy and you are cool to watch! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
Thank you for this video! I just hung up a new pendent lamp. The first hole I made I driled into some wood. I forgot that ceilings have joints. I used a stud finder and made a new hole. Now I have to learn to patch. Lol
Yes!! I have four of these to install around a bed for hanging mosquito netting. I wasn't sure how to do it and now I know!! Thanks SO much for sharing how you figured it out. Soooo tightening the hook onto the screw is simply pull down and twist...got it!! Empowered am I!!
1. Thanks for the video. I will be hanging up two boston ferns as soon as I'm done my comment . 2. That was super entertaining and you remind me of myself when doing handywork. I LOL'd a few times.
It's so intimidating !! Every time i say my plant will look amazing if it's hanging but i just gave up after trying to hang a curtain But will give it a try!! Thank you kindly for sharing 🙏
You are my absolute favorite person in the world today! I just knew i had fucked up having that hanging out the ceiling like that but nope, you saved me & my anxiety of that huge hole in my ceiling🙌🏾
Thank you sooooooooo much. I literally thought I messed up and was going to have to put a new toggle in the wall. This was hilarious and a success. Thank you!
But wouldn't the ceiling come crashing down with the weight if it's just a dry wall ? Coz I watched someone else's video saying we need to find a joist to drill holes on to the ceiling. I have plants weighing each around 3 - 4 pounds and I am very nervous coz I rent the apartment and I know nothing about hardware and tools.
Thank you, this video really helped me!! I didn’t realize that you need to pull down to be able to screw the hook in! Appreciate you taking the time to post this.
Omg....I love your energy and vlogging style. 😍 And thank you so much for the informative video. Was gonna pop some toggle bolts into my ceiling to hold a pots and pans hanger and this video gives me the confidence that I won't screw up screwing the ceiling 🤣
Great solution I was thinking of going up into the attic and add another wooden beam in there so I had something solid to screw into. This is much more easier ! Cheers !
This is great! But question, does anyone know how to remove them once they're installed? In case you're selling your home and want to have them removed? Or is it stuck there forever?
I think the answer is to either unscrew the toggle, which will give you the threaded bit, but leave the toggley piece in the ceiling, *_OR_* push the whole dern thing up in there. I kinda think I prefer the later. It’s like a little secret you can take to the grave.
Thank you for this video!!! It took me two tries to get it. I somehow let go of the first one, and the whole thing flew inside the ceiling 🤦🏾♀️ so then I bought another one, and it worked like a charm!
Thank you so much for your detailed explanation. I successfully hung a plant today after months of feeling intimidated. All the men said it wasn’t possible 🤥
wow, what took you three and a half minutes solved one of my life's greatest mysteries!
Literally!!
Ive been putting this off for 7 years... i think tomorrow is the day. Thank you

Who knew hanging plants is basically like an IUD insertion? They're doing the hard work for us.
Especially the hole not being big enough and just shoving it in 😒☹️
I have used swag hooks for years…since way back in the days when we hung everything from our popcorn ceilings! I have always put the hook on the wing/bolt/nut part before I poke into the ceiling so I don’t take a risk of losing the nut part in the ceiling without the hook attached.

What a breath of fresh air!! Funny, to the point & Just Being Yourself ☀️😊
I love your chaotic energy, thanks for helping me figure this out
I have plaster ceilings, and thought I was "screwed" until I watched this video, because my first installation attempt was an epic fail. You have proven me wrong. Thank you!
The most hilarious DIY I’ve seen in my life. Love it 🤣

Lady, I like your whole mood.... So Cool. I glad you're not boring.... Thanks I did it
Thanks for the real life tutorial haha this feels more relatable than any other I’ve watched 😂

It's also a lot easier if you screw the hook on first. You got the job done either way, but save yourself some trouble next time.
Thank you! I was like, this video actually shows you kind of what not to do when hanging a hook from the ceiling lol
I’m happy this comment is here to guide people in the actual right direction hahaha thanks!
It worked anyway, didn't??
@@shariurbancic3234 why don't you produce your own video and show us the better way ...
@@cecilitaH no one is complaining about the video. If one were to read the instructions on the package on how to install, it will also tell you the correct way, which IS even easier, though not as entertaining.
Oh my gosh. He lifted my day with your energy. Thanks for having so much fun.
You’re the best DIY teacher- love your humor
Wow! I need your energy when I’m doing house work like this! I like this instead of the cursing at all the tools that I do when attempting to put up shelves 😅
You had me at "just poke around in there". Lol, love it!
I realized after about 10 seconds that this video was not what I needed, but I watched the whole thing anyway because this woman is hilarious.
Thank you so much for making this!

I also NEVER comment on videos but i want you to know i was struggling literally forever on how to do this and with your help I had it done in minutes
Lol I love love love your video!! I used to watch my mom hook these hooks in the 70’s! I needed a refresher! Glad you popped up! ❤😂❤😂

THANK YOU !!!!! Not only was I able to install my hook and plant, but I had a good giggle while watching the video. Subscribed and can’t wait to see more! Thanks again!
Who knew I'd need this video? But I did. So thank you. 🤣
While this was a very silly video, it helped assure me that this process was easily achievable. Thanks for your help!
You are soooo funny! And yes! I'm going to install this all by my self without the help of my always busy boyfriend. Love it!
“I’m gonna just poke around in there” 👍🏼😂
❤️ your humor and your ability. You are empowering me in DIY!!! thanks!!
Wow! 😂😂😂 just wow! You are a GEM! This is beyond amazing!!! Please teach me more home improvements! I’m less worried about messing up now.
Wow, you addressed some things I wouldn’t even think of! Like making sure the hook is screwed onto the threading before bringing the hook base all the way up to the ceiling! I would have had it barely on the tip of the threading and I would have had plants falling everywhere! Thanks!
I love your wallpaper And your personality! 😁 Thanks for the confidence in doing like this on my own
i love the laugh at the end of the vid, really motivated me. Will start drilling holes all over the house now
I didn’t know this was the exact way I needed this process explained, but…THANK YOU SO MUCH! 😅
I love it! Thanks for the help on how to hang my plant...clearly the "coffee mug" hook I thought I could use was a NO! And I'm so glad to know I'm not the only person that doesn't want to get down off the ladder to get the right size drill bit! Haaa
I am truly enjoying your energy! My glass pot almost took me Out with a small hook that I used now I got it! I love your sleeves also! Clapping from Norfolk, VA!
You are a bad ass hook hanger! I’ve been asking hubby to hang a hook for months. Now I can hang them my own damn self! Thank you!!!
The energy this is giving made my night

You do shit the same way I do! You are hilarious!!!
It worked! Thank you. Plus it’s a funny video, So that doesn’t hurt. I did follow your advice and put the toggle all the way on the end so that it is just one end up into the hole.

You are a life saver!! Years ago I tried this, pre-TH-cam and it was a disaster! You make it look so easy and you are cool to watch! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
Thank you. Your video was helpful and alleviated my frustration, since the package only provided very vague instruction.
Got these to hang my aquarium lights and this video was a blessing
As a huge fan of the wiggle method to make your drilled hole wider I stan this video
You are a goddess. I’ve been wanting to put up hooks but don’t have anybody to show me how. I just did it following your video and I’m so happy!
Thank you for this video! I just hung up a new pendent lamp. The first hole I made I driled into some wood. I forgot that ceilings have joints. I used a stud finder and made a new hole. Now I have to learn to patch. Lol

2. That was super entertaining and you remind me of myself when doing handywork. I LOL'd a few times.
Man I haven’t watched a video this wholesome in such a long time. Lol
I love how comical and helpful you are!!!

Thank you so much for this easy to follow video, I've been putting it off for so long lol but finally the plant is hanging woohoo
But wouldn't the ceiling come crashing down with the weight if it's just a dry wall ? Coz I watched someone else's video saying we need to find a joist to drill holes on to the ceiling.
I have plants weighing each around 3 - 4 pounds and I am very nervous coz I rent the apartment and I know nothing about hardware and tools.
Thanks for this hilarious tutorial! Love it. I’m going to install my 70’s macrame now!
The need in my life for this video is high on my list. Thank you so much!
I always doubt myself and abilities always ! You made this so easy for me.,. Thank you .
One of the best and funniest tutorials on TH-cam 👍🏼👍🏼
You just saved my life🤣🤣 I was wondering wtf I was going to do with long screw sticking out
Thank you, this video really helped me!! I didn’t realize that you need to pull down to be able to screw the hook in! Appreciate you taking the time to post this.
"perhaps physics has changed in some way" LOL Great humor and relatability
Oh my sweet lord thank you for posting this! 😂 i got a Macrame shelf with ZERO instructions on how to attach the hook! Madam you are a saint
Yes, techniclly I learnt new skill... but more importantly I learnt how awesome you are... totally subscribing just to see more YOU!
Thanks for the hilarious, and also informative, video. I too am on Vancouver Island hangin' plants in Sayward. Good video!
Thank you so much for this video! I may have lost a toggle before finding your video :P I love your energy!
Omg....I love your energy and vlogging style. 😍
And thank you so much for the informative video. Was gonna pop some toggle bolts into my ceiling to hold a pots and pans hanger and this video gives me the confidence that I won't screw up screwing the ceiling 🤣
Great solution
I was thinking of going up into the attic and add another wooden beam in there so I had something solid to screw into.
This is much more easier !

Great video!! I wanted to find something short and easy to understand and yours fit the bill!! Thanks!!
This was educational and entertaining all at the same time. Lol! Thank yoooou! ❤️
Just curious, was there a reason you didn’t use a stud to attach this? I thought it’s always best to screw into a stud as it holds better, no?
I want to hang a canopy over my bed and I have popcorn ceilings so your video was awesome thank you!! and I love your personality✨
Literally never knew! Always just used those regular screw hooks and prayed it stayed! 😂😭
Literally the funniest most helpful video I have found!! Thanks dude!
Thank you for this video!!!
It took me two tries to get it. I somehow let go of the first one, and the whole thing flew inside the ceiling 🤦🏾♀️ so then I bought another one, and it worked like a charm!
On my way to get my hooks! Thank you, your video was super helpful, easy to understand, and cute!
Thank goodness lol I have started this little project & had many questions! I’m so happy to know others need the help too! Great video
Thank you so much for your detailed explanation. I successfully hung a plant today after months of feeling intimidated. All the men said it wasn’t possible 🤥
