      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

    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.

    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 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.

    You should really tell people what to do in case of a beam being directly under, or next to, where a hole is drilled and if there is insulation. Both things will create difficulty with this installation. You make it look nice and easy and I wish it was but it isn’t in every house. It certainly wasn’t that wasn’t that easy in my house.
