How to hang a Cow Skull

Hey Guys! I’m here to answer that burning question that’s laying heavy on your minds, “How in the World do you hang a Cow Skull on the Wall?”  Right? I know you are all thinking about it, loosing sleep over it, but guess what? You’re in Luck because today I’m going to show you how!

 Ha Ha,  but in all seriousness, a friend did recently ask me about how I’ve hung up my skull on the wall and that really is a wonderful question because really, this is what the back of the skull looks like. There’s not a whole lot of options here.

It was by a happy accident that I have figured out how to hang a cow skull.  You see, after I had bought my cow skull….. and truthfully I don’t know, Is it a cow skull, a bull skull, a buffalo skull or a steer skull? Do you know the answer to that? I’ve tried to google it, but it seems that different people call it all of the above.  So I have decided to just call it a cow skull. But I could be wrong.

Anyway, so I purchased my cow skull at an antique store for under 20 dollars and I came home and placed it on a hook that I had already hanging on our wall and it worked perfect.

So this is the kind of wall hook I used.

The wall hook needs to have that extra bend in the top arm because that is what’s holding the skull up.

And there you go, that is my big secret to how I’ve hung up my  cow skull. And now whenever I want to move this baby around our home, which I do often. It has been in 4 different rooms now, and every time I move it I bring the wall hook with it.

As you have probably seen in my Fall Home Tour my cow skull is now hanging up in our kitchen nook area.

Before I had a coastal boat wheel clock hanging there, but now with the rustic skull our kitchen flows better with the rest of my fall decor.

I really hope that this post was helpful to someone out there.

Thanks for stopping by,

Emily
