  1. Many of these still need holes drilled to hang. Pegboard? If you already have one, great, otherwise you have to drill.
    Twig, what’s holding the twig in place? How many people realistically can get to their ac vent?

    • I agree-many of these require making holes where you plan on putting the plant(s). And some of the ideas like the coat rack are listed twice so there aren’t as many ideas really.
