Anyone Know Where to Buy These...
« on: April 01, 2010, 15:08:05 PM »
...assuming I can describe them well enough in the first place  :)

There are plastic hooks for putting up paintings etc, normally white but are not self adhesive - they have three (I think) tiny pins/nails that you use to fix them to the wall. The idea is you don't need to damage the wall with a big hole I think.

Anyone know where they can be bought?

Cheers  :-\

Most hardware stores, I think they are called plaster depth picture hooks.

I bought a box of them in the local 99p shop and brought them over to Turkey to hang our pictures.

B+Q or hombase--save you parking for the town.

Thanks all, what a shame we don't have a 99p shop

Perth must be far to posh for a 99p shop:D

Is that them??

Might be cheaper parking and going to poundwhatever
Alternatively homebase do brass effect from 1.08.  Saves you fighting traffic on the Dunkeld /Crieff road.

I have a great need to get a life:(
