To get it to hang properly without having to fill in any holes tape a piece of string to where you want to put the eyehook. That way you can move the string around till you find the sweet spot without making holes all over the place.

Mostly I use eye hooks, some store bought others home made from wire as described above.

On my smaller ornaments, I use a Fishing Line, drill a hole, fill with glue, then take a short piece of fishing line, loop it to the size I want, then stick both ends into the hole, works fine for me. Goodluck....Bill
