Pez Installation
I started collecting Pez only because I love the way they look when displayed. So it was very important to me to find a great way to display them in my new house. I didn’t have a shelf, and I didn’t want to put a million holes in the wall so I used 6 packages of good old sticky tack (or adhesive putty) (or “ticky tacky” like in the Weeds theme song!).
I wanted to do an “installation” so I actually whipped out the measuring tape and plotted out a full-blown grid on the wall. Measuring is not something I usually do, so it was kind of a big deal. And voila! a Pez display! And, yes, they stay up really really well. Fun, huh?

Those are lovely - the bright colours really bring that wall to life. Makes me wish I collected something other than the stuff in my messy craft stash!

Oooh! I love the way you displayed your Pez! I used yardsticks as shelves for mine, see pic in this post, bonus sock monkey shot!

LOVE it! For years I’ve been wondering how to display my ever growing PEZ collection….I’ve displayed on shelves but my cats would knock them over. This is inspiring!

oh, WOW!!! this is brilliant. i love this! i am so, so impressed by how evenly you hung everything. my goodness. that would have taken me hours and it still would have been crooked. this is making me want to collect pez. just the dispensers, though. i can’t stand the candy.
