I remember reading old sewing machine needles are good for hanging wall things. Today I hung snowflake lights in the sun room windows so I raided my container & tapped needles in to hold the light strings. I had to pull out a couple & reposition them. They work great, the hole was smaller than a nail would’ve made.

Sounds like a great use for dull needles.

Someone mentioned at a guild meeting that she used them to hang pictures. They leave a smaller hole in the wall. I tried it a few days later and it worked great.

I have also used straight pins for lighter weight Items on the wall. I have two small works of art right at a glace that are secured with straight a pin (quilting pins). The needle Idea is great! Thanks for the time.

When you want to get rid of those little holes, rub over them with a little toothpaste. A white hole is much less noticeable than a black hole.

My Wicox and Gibbs chian stitcher has a grindstone attatched to it to re sharpen needles.

And Mavita opened the door. White holes are less noticeable, because black holes suck in big chunks of the universe. ( just a bit sorry)
