You can certainly hang objects from your ceiling without damaging it using handy tools like Command Hooks. However, when parents ask us how to hang a mobile from the ceiling, we believe that it’s wise to avoid these tools. When it comes to crib mobiles, it’s best to ensure that they are as secure as possible. This is why we recommend using a drill and a U-Hook at a support beam site in order to safely secure your mobile to the ceiling. These drill holes can always be filled and repaired and this is certainly worth avoiding the risk of suffocation or strangulation.
