How to Hang Crystal Prisms
People hang crystals because they like how the designs look when hanging in their window or on their wall. They also like to hang them in the practice of feng shui, which is the Chinese art of decorating your environment to improve the flow of energy.

Tips & Warnings
When you hang a prism, pick a spot where the sun will often hit the crystal so it projects rainbows.
Using a nine-inch length of string is recommended because according to feng shui's principles, the number stands for the most power the prism can bring to the area.
