The scenario: You took my advice about framing posters and art prints for wall décor, and after much consideration, you’ve selected and framed your wall art. Now all that’s left to do is hang your displays. Trouble is, you don’t want to drill a million holes in your wall, or you live in a place where nails and hammering aren’t allowed. What to do, what to do? There’s an easy solution – use wall mounting tape instead. This stuff is so wonderful, I doubt there are words to explain its wonderfulness. But I’ll try anyway.

When I was in college, I lived in the dorm for two years and a sorority house for another two. So for four years I couldn’t use any nails to hang anything. As you can imagine, this forced my roommates and I to get creative. After a few failed attempts of using masking tape, string, staples, poster putty, etc. one of my roommates stumbled upon wall mounting tape. It was the perfect solution for hanging picture frames and posters, wall signs, calendars, lights and even those box wall shelves. The high-density foam tape is super sticky and easy to use.
