First real post, so please bear with me.
So this past summer I made a captain america shield because I needed something to hang on my wall and thought, "well anyone can get a sword...how hard can it be?" a few months later I finished my shield using Valor's awesome budget method with a few tweaks here and there to fit my needs. The hard part came when I went to mount the darn thing. My original thought was to use some sort of guitar stand, or wall hangars for the straps; but every idea had fault after fault. What I settled on was a stroke of genius- Magnets!
Using two magnetic window hooks attached to the sled, with a picture hangar wire taped in between, You can not only hang your shield up for display, but easily make it ready for deployment!.
I hope this helps anyone looking to mount their shield!

The magnets come in a 2 pack for around $10.00 U.S. and hold like a boss!
I put the magnets underneath the top edge of the brackets to prevent slippage.
And taped down the hanging wire to hold it in place until hung.
Tah Dah! This thing isn't going anywhere!!
