Mounting Suggestions?

Total newbie here, trying to figure out the best way to mount wood signs & plaques that are 1/4” thick (some are slightly thicker).

I like these no-nail sawtooth hangers, but I’m afraid they might go in too deep (description says 1/4” depth)

What do you all use for lighter/thinner signs/etc.?

When I had a light sign I wanted to hang, I found some hangers that I could just glue on.

I believe I once saw a design where someone even cut the pieces to glue on for hanging, but I have not tried that.

This is what I was hoping to find ~ minimalist hardware that can be glued. Do you have a photo or link?

I saw the file for the laser cut mounting piece, but would rather stick with hardware so I don’t have to worry about matching wood when using a purchased plaque.

I couldn’t find the exact hangers we used, but it was something like this:

Something that had plenty of surface-to-surface contact for the glue to hold.

We used “Goop” for the metal to wood glue. (Easy clean up and strong hold.)

I wanted to do frame wire and went with the following:

25x14mm D-Ring Hangers

Tiny screws, Flat Head, Phillips Drive, (2.5×6mm, 0.1×0.23inch)

Frame wire

The screws are small enough they don’t poke too far through, but every thing feels strong enough for my pieces, as long as they don’t get too big.
