Happy Friday friends! I’ve been meaning to write this post forever now because I’ve used these anchors and screws for several years, and they are definitely the best! Forget those crappy ones that come with whatever product you bought (especially curtain rods!) and use these instead.

Trust me when I tell you that when you use these, your project will go MUCH smoother. Especially when hanging curtain rods! Can you tell I have issues with those cheap plastic white ones that pretty much break once you try and hammer in the wall?
So anyway, I get these green ones at The Home Depot and it’s $5.89 for a 25-pack.
Why do they work so well? I think because the end is pointed and sharp already, so you just hammer this right into the wall and no pre-drilling is required. They are so so handy!
Anyway, that’s just my little tip for the day and something I thought you might all like to know. Any tip to make a DIY project go a little easier is always a winner in my book. :)
So seriously, go throw away those cheap white plastic ones that come with everything!! Got it? Good. :)
And if you might be hanging up something like a large heavy mirror, this is my favorite little trick/tool to use for hanging on drywall. Works like a charm.
Have a great weekend friends! Any fun plans??

I usually use the anchors that look like a corkscrew, but I will have to give these a try. Thanks for the tip!

This could not have been better timing! I am picking up curtains today for my livingroom and will be anxious to install the curtain rods and get them up!!! Will keep you posted. :)
I love these! I got the bigger ones for a very heavy mirror and they work perfectly!
Generally I don’t read article on blogs, but I wish to say
that this write-up very compelled me to try and do it!
Your writing style has been amazed me. Thank you,
quite great post.
