Hang pictures on walls - but without drilling and using nails?

I live in a rented place, so I can't drill holes or use nails. Any gadgets that will solve the problem?





Thanks!!!Hang pictures on walls - but without drilling and using nails?
I wouldn't suggest no more nails as the guy did above, its glue and will either rip off the wall paper when taken off or leave some marking, ok if its your own home or if theres no wall paper in which case you could paint over any markings.





Ask if you can use those small hooks suggested above, I can't see them as being any problem and go to your local diy store like b%26amp;q, homebase etc and ask if they have that new adhesive thats recently been advertised. Apparently you can stick stuff to the walls and when it comes to taking it off it pels off with no mess (i think!) but ask them. Sorry I don't remember the name but I know 100% it is advertised and available.





Or just get permission to stick nails in and say you'll sort out any holes in the future or even persuade the LL that you'll place it strategically so that future tenants will find it useful.

Glass-headed dressmakers' pins are the thinnest, T-pins are next up for strength and size. Assuming you have drywall walls, either type pushed in at a 45 degree angle will hold a surprising amount of weight, just make sure you push as far in as you can, and that the picture wire rests on the pin right against the wall. Larger pictures may need two or three pins. They will leave holes but they'll be so small it's unlikely anyone will notice.
'No nails' is good or 'hard as nails'. you will find this in all the DIY stores like B%26amp;Q and wickes.


It is also clear or white and is easy to scratch or rub off when you take the picture down!


Or you could even just use nails and make holes, and use filler when u move out!

I've not tried them yet, but according to the TV advertising, they stick to the wall and can then be removed without damaging the wall.
The 3M hangers available in any hardware section. Stick like concrete to the wall, then just pull the tab and it comes loose. My wife took one off I had put up, but did not realize there was a release tab you pulled-pulled off the drywall paper.
well , my best suggestion would be to goout and buy a small metal hook that has a sticky substance on the back and stick it on the wall and then put your picture up you can buy shes things at home harware ect.
If you can make really small holes, I use thumbtacks. They will not create giant holes, but they will hold small picture frames. And they are very inexpensive and take ten seconds to install!
go to a hard ware store they will have a stick/ paste like substance thta will hold just as good as a nial to solve that problem.
Just buy some panel pins they are very thin nail and when you move pull them out and the hole is no bigger than that of a drawing pin..
Sticky fixers!
Paint your own with the landlords blood.
