How do you attach wallscrolls without nails?

College Life

<p>I have some wallscrolls that I would like to bring with me to hang on my dorm walls, but I don’t think I should use nails to hold them up (which is what I use right now at home) since that would puncture the walls. Sticky tack doesn’t seem like it would be strong enough to hold them up. Anyone got any ideas that wouldn’t invovle damaging the walls?</p>

<p>What exactly is a “wallscroll”? Is it similar to a poster? If so, sticky tack should be able to hold it, or use corkboard which is in most dorm rooms now.</p>

<p>I guess it’s kinda similar to a poster in that both can have pictures and be decorative. It’s just a scroll that you hang flat and vertically on the wall. Here are some examples: </p>

<p>Also, the material of the wall scroll can vary. Some are fabric, some are wooden. Mine are all wooden though, which is why I think sticky tack wouldn’t be strong enough. </p>

<p>For the corkboard, would I just prop that up against the wall somehow or do I hang that from something?</p>

<p>3-M makes mounting products and adhesive strips called “COMMAND”, available at Walmart & other fine stores. If you follow the instructions, they hold up really well, and also come off easily when needed.</p>

<p>They may have a hook on the face, so your scrolls and corkboard need to have some kind of sawtooth hanger attached to the frame back.</p>

<p>If you’ve got brick walls, I’d imagine a large amount of duct tape would be able to hold it.</p>

<p>Otherwise, go to a hardware store or Home Depot and browse the 3M adhesives. I recommend a privately-owned hardware store, as the workers will know exactly what you need and if they don’t have it, they will know where to get it. In general, these stores are best for consulting–Home Depot prices are usually better though.</p>
