Shannon at Rocks In My Dryer is hosting a special Christmas edition of WFMW. You’ll find tons of great tips that will make your holiday planning easier. Here’s my tip:
During the Christmas season I like to display decorations on my walls without removing the wall decor and pictures I keep up year-round. But, who wants to put more nails in the wall for things that will only be displayed for a few weeks? Last year I solved my dilemma by using 3M Command Adhesive products.
I use the hooks for hanging wreaths, swags, plaques, bows, and garland. There is even a special clip that is ideal for decorating with strings of lights (pictured just to the left). I used it for putting twinkle lights around the doorway of our home and on the mantle.
After Christmas, you can pack up your decorations and very easily remove the adhesive strips from the wall. You don’t have to worry about damaging the surface at all. Command Strips work for me!

Good idea… now if they can only come up with something that would stick to a fireplace… hmmmm!
Very crafty! I am going to try that this year, the house doesn’t get “Christmassy” enough for my liking because I have no way of hanging things up. I do now!
Thanks!
Thanx!! This would be a great idea !! Now I can hang as many decorations i feel like!!
This is really helpful…thanks for posting the idea.
ooh, ooh, ooh! I’m so GLAD to see a post on these! I used these to hold up tons of garlands at my wedding reception. They work BEAUTIFULLY. They even held up a huge wreath!
Take care,

I’ve seen those and I wondered if they really work. Thanks for the recommendation! Now, I think I’ll give them a try!
I always wondered if they really worked. Thanks!
I have been seeing these, I am going to have to try them this year.
I’m definitely trying this!! I’ve never known how to hang things without creating more of a mess on my walls after the holidays!
