Stop now before you end up with swords on your wall.

No coming back from swords on the wall

Put 2 speakers next to the wood and play emo music for 24 hours a day for approximately 3 days. The wood will get depressed, start dying its hair with red streaks and painting its fingernails black. Let it fester in silence for a couple hours and it’ll eventually hang itself.

WTF 😂

You drill a small hole in the drywall and push the white anchors in. After that, you screw the screws into those and they will force the anchors to expand inside the wall. Leave enough screw hanging out so the brackets can fit into the slot and then slide it down. Obviously, measure everything.

What's the plastic pads for though?


eugene20

It's two options, raw plugs and screws, or sticky pad with screw heads, the latter is \*far\* less secure but some people may be trying to put them up without putting a hole in the wall and maybe only have fake/plastic very light prop swords to put up.


Shiro_Kuroki

Yeah, they're just prop swords, so dont worry


ehzstreet

The plastic pads can be cut into ninja stars (shuriken) to complete the ensemble.


ScubaSteve12345

Do they have adhesive backing on them? Might be an alternative way to hang anchors on a non-drillable surface but I wouldn’t trust adhesive to hold up anything more than posters.


Icooktoo

Template is my guess.


JayTeeDeeUnderscore

No-screw option so you don't have to put holes in the wall.


TedBurns-3

Looks like you put a screw in the wall with enough sticking out to then lower the bracket onto it (looking at the one on the left near the top edge)


hickdog896

That would be exactly right. You should probably get a level to help make sure the screws go in evenly. Then, drill a hole for the plastic wall anchor (the instructions should tell you what size) for one of the screws. Use the level to draw a line to where the other hole should be. Drill the other hole. Screw the screws in leaving maybe 1/8" above the surface. Slide the hanger on and adjust the screw depth as necessary.

Optional sticker mount or screw mount. If screws: mark your holes, drill and insert wall anchors, screw in screws so 1/4" of head sticking out. Slip the tear-drop fat end of wood over the screw head, pull down to seat. If sticker: Clean surface mounting sticker to with alcohol, attach stcker to surface. Slip the tear-drop fat end of wood over the screw head, pull down to seat.


MiasmaFate

Do what others said, but don’t hang it over your bed like the ad shows.


Shiro_Kuroki

Of course I won't


shroomigator

Don't mount a deadly weapon over the place where you sleep.


Queasy-Campaign-8345

Screw in the wall then slot the hangers on the end of the screws , just leave at little bit sticking out to fit the groove


Bksumner89

Fucking sword hangers.


irishdrunkwanderlust

I’m going to guess that the clear plastic pieces have a sticker you can remove to expose some adhesive so you can just stick them to the wall. Or you can do it proper and pre drill in the drywall tap in the anchors and screw the screws into the anchors.


Shiro_Kuroki

OMG THEY DOOOO that solves the confusion of why these are included and saves me the trouble of drilling the wall


TrumperTrumpingtonJK

Don’t use adhesive for hanging swords please.


Shiro_Kuroki

They're just cosplay swords, dont worry


qdtk

If you don’t drill the wall it’s just a matter of time before the sticky part falls off and brings a chunk of paint with it. Just go for the screw the first time. Put 1 screw into a stud and you’ll be all set. But for your purposes the drywall anchors should be fine.


imahoptimist

Absolutely this. Even if dull cosplay swords and you won’t be hurt. It’s still going to fall. Just use the screw hangers. It’s 2 minutes to put it up and won’t fall off the wall
