Looking for a way to hang wall decor, but do not want it to leave huge holes in my walls.Does anyone know what to hang wall decor with so that it will not leave big nail holes?
depending on the size you could try those hooks by 3mDoes anyone know what to hang wall decor with so that it will not leave big nail holes?
Picture hanger hooks specially made work well. Stick with small picture hook nails.





If the item is heavy, you will need to use a mollie and that could potentially leave larger holes, nothing that can't be fixed with Spackle.
look on the web site ';as seen on tv'; they sell sturdy hooks for walls. They have a infomercail with Billy Mays. or those made by 3m that don't get nailed in they get stuck on.
You would be amazed at how much a straight pin will hold! All of my framed family photos, up to 11x15, are hung using straight pins. The biggest difficulty is nailing the pin into the wall without bending it. But once in, it does a great job. The holes are so small that they are covered when the room is repainted. A good option for heavier artwork is those hooks that use adhesive, usually advertised at Christmas, but available all year.
A company called Ooks makes a line of picture hangers that leave a hole smaller than a finishing nail. I've used them and they're great. In fact, I give packages of them as a housewarming present (ok, maybe it sounds tacky, but you'd be amazed at how popular the gift is). You can get Ooks at hardware stores and Home Depot. Here's what Tom Silva, This Old House general contractor, says about them:
