A simple way to hang the glass float in a window or on a tree is with a fishing line. If you're hanging a glass float that has a small hanger ring at the top, thread a 6 inch piece of fishing line through the hanger and tie a secure knot. The fishing line is transparent yet strong and durable enough to hold the weight of the glass float.
To create a seashore feel, place the glass float inside a piece of an old fishing net. Gather up the edges of the fishing net and tie them together so that the glass float is secure. The fishing net hanger is a playful way to keep the glass float protected and secure if you plan to hang it outside. If you don't have a fishing net handy, you can create your own net or use a net from a produce sack.
If you have experience in knitting or crocheting, creating your own net for the glass float can be a clever way to show off your creativity and make a original piece of art. Choose a favorite color of yarn that compliments the hues of the glass float. You can choose from a variety of knit or crochet patterns to make a net that will emphasize the distinctive beauty of the float.
Suspend the glass float within a spiral of wire is another simple and easy way to display it. Simply cut a long piece of thick wire and wrap it around the glass float, bending the wire to create a tight fit. Loop and twist the top end of the wire to create a hanger. Before hanging the float, hold it by the hanger to test that the wire is secure enough to hold the weight of the glass.
