Our walls are rock solid, pushing pins in is impossible!

How do you hang your dec's since Blu tac is crap these days and selotape will just tear the wall paper off?

there's a sticker that is supposed to be really good, and pulls off without leaving a mark.

I heard something about it but, helpfully, I can't remember what it's called.

Have you got picture rails?

Low tack masking tape?
Blue tac not too bad if decs are light
Push pins into top of door frames etc.

I haven't got picture rails, i can do door frames ect but i did want some on the walls, Blu tac doesn't even hold posters up here so i think it may be out of the question.

Dp mentioned he saw a sticky pad thing that has a tab you pull to remove it without marking the walls - anyone know what thety are called?

Well I was going to sugget magnets - but I obv. got the wrong end of the stick

Don't go for the walls. Just drape on mirrors, tabletop deco, around the fireplace & mantle piece, around the curtain rails, windowsills. Candles, wreaths & green stuff will work. If you look at magazines I think this is what they do. Emm I think this is what I'll do.

Sellotape Sticky Fixers?

I assume you have windows? (the thread title made me think you were living in a shipping container!)

CharleeInPantoPaperChains · 01/12/2008 10:50

Lol sorry no i live in a normal flat our walls are just rock solid and you really can get anything into them without a drill!

I was joking about stell they are not actually metal! We have wondows/doors like everyone else.

(Sorry i feel like a twit now!)

We have concrete walls too. Bloody hard to get anything into them. I dangle things from the windows and curtain rails.
