Fishing line Snowflakes

Since we are on the downside of January, I thought I better show you my snowflakes that I put up for this month. These went up when the Christmas decor went down. I expanded my hangings into the kitchen over the kitchen table. That fishing line works great anywhere! I just hung these off the light fixture over the table--if you are really tall, which we don't have a problem with in our house--you bump into the longest ones, but otherwise they work well. Now I just need to find hearts for next month. Anyone seen any cute hearts that I could hang? Thanks to my friend Angie for finding some snowflakes for me!!!
It is no secret how I hang the ones in my entry. I have big wooden beams, so I just stick a tack in them, wrap the fishing line around the tack, and hang the snowflake on the end of the fishing line. I don't know how you would hang them on an actual ceiling? Would a tack stay in a ceiling? I don't know. Mine go into a wooden beam.
The snowflakes in my entry. There are silver and blue ones.

I like the blue ones!!

So have any of you tried out fishing line yet? What are you hanging?
