7 Clever Hacks for Temporary Wall Hooks

Assign your tablet and earbuds their own adhesive hooks; if you don’t need them bedside, I challenge you to think of a few other locations these would work well — on that wall right next to your favorite chair, in your kid’s upper bunk, or on the backsplash in the kitchen (oh so handy for watching TV or viewing recipes while cooking). Worried they’ll tip if the wall is jarred? Add an upside down hook at the top as reinforcement.

Skip the tape and nail holes, and opt for simple temporary wall hooks when you’re hanging decor and garland for your next shindig. They work great indoors, outdoors, and on a variety of surfaces (including ceilings) and they take the frustration out of stringing garland across your home. (Side note — that rose garland? You can make it yourself!)

Guilty of storing your cords in a box or drawer? Consider mounting them on the inside of a closet door instead. You can buy a few dozen micro adhesive hooks for less than $5. They’re excellent at pinching onto narrow cords and never again will your wires get crossed.

Renters and homeowners alike will relish the ease of hanging curtains with strong adhesive hooks. Use clips to hold the curtain so that it can slide along the wall more easily (keep in mind that most adhesive clips will only allow the rod to balance about 1" from the wall). No holes, no headache, no problem!
