Brilliant idea!! I have used those same hooks to hold my rulers for a couple years now. I have them attached to the sides and doors of my fabric cabinets.

I use command hooks all the time for quilts.

One thing in the very fine print is a recommendation to let the hook adhesive cure for 12 hours before adding weight. It's also important to get the correct side on the wall vs. on the hook.

I've had pretty good results even on textured walls, with one exception-- in our stairwell, way up high. I think it may be because I wasn't able to press the hook firmly against the wall, given that I was trying to put it about 15 feet above me and with no level surface to put a ladder on.

I've actually used just the strips directly on the back of small wallhangings that I want to have lie flush against the wall. No damage to the fabric backing, and they've held up nicely for months thus far.

I have used the command strips for my wall hangings and they have worked great.

Great ideas for command strips. Thank you.

Two warnings--------------sometimes the strips WILL harm a wall when removed. And if the surface that holds the hook is not smooth enough, the hooks won't hold. All that said--------------they are great for hanging stuff.

Could you explain more about what you mean by "harm" a wall? Does is just take the paint off with it? Or does it remove wallpaper? Or wallboard?

We used some in my daughter's room to hang a pocket thing for her doll stuff. It didn't hold though (too much doll stuff) and when I took the adhesive off, it took the paint right off to the drywall. And it was only on her wall for about 2 days max.

I ended up using a nail on one side (where there was a stud) and a monkey hook on the other. So far, so good.

My sis in law has a mobile home and the walls are a type of panel, not really wallpaper, but more of a panel. Anyway, she had a command hook take off a chunk of finish.
