how do I hang the crystals? Do I put the pin through the front or back? Do I make a hook? How do they hang from the pin holes? thank you! :)

You put the pin through from the outside, so that the head of the pin holds the crystal. Then you bend the pin inside up, so that the pin holds the crystal. The bend must be tight inside to hold the weight of the crystal. That way you don't see the excess pin. If you look at the picture on line, you can sort of see the head of the pin, so you know how that goes. My husband did it the wrong way round first, but we figured it out the other way and it has worked fine for the months that the chandelier has been up.

OMG! I know it's soooo confusing. I went through several pins before I figured it out. 1. Hang the light 2. Then put the pins in. Put them all in. This way you know how many extra pins you have. (I had to do a few redues) 3. Start on the bottom tier 4. Put the crystal behind the pin. 5.This is the tricky part... Bend the pin down. You want the edge of the crystal to be right below the brass of the chandelier. 6. Then push the pin up. It's almost as if you are creating a "U" shape with the pin. 7. You'll want to balance the crystals, so work from one side to the other. Note: it will seem as if the crystals are uneven. They will not be perfect, so you gotta get over it.... (My OCD was kicking in high gear during this project.. But it is beautiful and I get sooo many compliments on the chandelier...) After a few "pin U's" you will get into a grove and they will be about the same height. 8. Once you complete a tier review the height of the crystals. You can make adjustments when you finish a tier. At that time you can decide to due a few redues. Let me know if that helped. Not sure I can post a photo...? Best of luck. It will be beautiful.

Confusing when you first start isn't it!! Pin head goes to the back, feed the pin through the hole in the crystal, bend the pin so it is now parallel with the sides of the crystal (facing up towards the top of the crystal). Then bend the pin over the top of the crystal making a hook,feed the hook through the light hole, ensuring the end of the pin meets the pin head on the back side of the crystal....this ensures all the crystal hang evenly. Once you figure it out and get into a rhyme it is goes pretty quickly....you are left with sore fingers and a beautiful light. All worth it, I promise!

Hi Kristine,I inserted the pin through the front of the crystal and through the hole in the metal ring and bent it down (just like a hook).Hope that helps!

These have not been hung yet, but I had others. I used very thin string or fishing line and cut to the length that I wanted them to hang. I tied a knot at the end and used a clear or colored push pin in the center of the knot and pushed it through the dryall. It makes a tiny hole in the celing but you can't even see it when you remove them. I hope this helps.

I called Dritz, the manufacturer. They said the little blue hook was added at the request of small quilt shops who wanted to hang the stock item on a wall (the packaging may be different). It is of no use to the user.

We stuck clear push pins into the ceiling and then used clear string to hang them. If you look really close, you can see the push pins, but they aren't clearly visible. Hope that helps!

Crystals are all touching however you place them yourself so if you want more space do t hang them all. Too many crystals to count

I don't let them hang. I sew them to the inside of their collar. That way I know they are touching them correctly. I put them end to end lining the holes up and sew through the holes to the collar.

Yes, what are you hanging it on? Is it going outside on a concrete wall? if yes, you need a concrete drill bit and then you put a (white or black) thing that fits into the hole and then put the screw into that and hang the piece of art...Hope it helped please forgive that fact that I don't have a clue as to what stuff is called...that is my husbands job and he is not here...GOOD LUCK

I used bed skirt pins, first I put it on the top side of the box spring to make sure it was height I wanted, there is elastic on the bed skirt, then I just pinned it in place,been several months and it is still looking as though I had just put it on. I'm very happy with it and I'm sure you will be too. Good luck!!

It comes with the frame separate from the crystals. The frame is light (c. 20 lbs) so hanging it isn't too hard. Then after you put the 200+ crystals on it gets really heavy and weighs close to 150 lbs.

There are tiny pieces of metal that are used to hang the crystal.. Some remind me of paper clips. They are all silver. Any other metal is also silver. Hope this helps.

Good Morning, Melissa. Thank you for your inquiry to HearthSong. There is a loop at the top that you will connect with a hook. I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. Sincerely, Sarah-HearthSong Customer Service

The crystal rings go over each of the arms when you assemble it and a crystal ball hangs off of it. If you look at some of the other diagrams you will see it. You don't have to assemble it that way if you don't want to. I did for now I will change it around maybe next year.

There are small holes (like fo a finishing nail). I would put it on a small board and then hang that.

Hey, all you have to do to make it like the one in the picture is hook a metal loop to a crystal, then a loop again, then a shell, then a loop, then a crystal, then a loop, then a shell etc until you have 3 crystals and 3 shells on each stand. Then suspend them from the metal disc using the tiny hooks and the metal loops. Hope that helps. I didn't bother using the crystals, i just did 4 stands of shells for the centre circle, then 3 shells long for the circle outside that one, and then 2 shells long for the very outer circle. It looks really good.

No, not ALL, just some parts need to be screwed together and those are NOT difficult. Hint: BEFORE hanging, put the crystal hanging baubles on; much easier to do it that way... and use some needle-nosed pliers to make maneuvering the hooks more easily done.

Hello. No, you cannot just push the pins in. The back board is solid. You can gently hammer pushpins in, or pin items to the ribbon or twill with sewing or florist pins. Test the weight of the items first, then have fun. I havefairly heavy jewelry hanging on rows of pushpins.

There isn't a real place to hang them. The crystals hang from hooks that are very small. Wouldn't be able to fit more. There are plenty of crystals. Very sparkly
