I need a easy way to hang lights in an apartment. Right now I have made a PVC structure around the plants to keep the lights up but this is begining to be a pain.. any ideas... I was thinking using those drywall anchors to do this but I dont know if they will hold. Thanks.

Just find where your studs are in the ceiling and attach them there.

I thought about the drywall anchors, but just dont want it to fall! If ya think it will hold I suppose I will try it. Finding the studs is a bitch, I dont have the stud finder and dont wanna buy one just for this... hmmm

use toggle bolts if you are worries the anchors wont hold ... they butterfly on it spreads the weight and holds much better than a standard drywall anchor and as suggested by desertrat i too use the yoyo hi low light hangers ... makes it fast and easy to lift the light out of your way
