    Great idea! I love how you did this! What did you affix to the back to be able to hang it on the Command strips?

      Hi Cheryl, thank you so much. I used the heavy duty “picture frame” command hooks – https://amzn.to/2HAtbVS They work kind of like Velcro.

      Hi Beth, you can ask them when their next shipment might be and see if they’ll hold them for you. You can also order them in a set of 12 online from Dollar Tree. If you don’t love those options you can definitely look at other stores like Walmart, Target, etc for some. Hope this helps 🙂

      December 26, 2018 at 5:22 pm

      Hi Carol, there isn’t a hole. The picture frame Command Hooks work like velcro. You stick the velcro parts together and then peel off their backs. One side sticks on the back of the picture and the other side will stick to the wall.
