I recently had my hot water heater blow up and came home to fine 4 inches of water throughout my condo!! Needless to say we had to quickly vacate the unit so repairs could be made. When we returned (3 months later!) we basically had a brand new condo. Everything had to be redone; flooring, new dry wall, new kitchen and bathroom cabinets, new counter tops - EVERYTHING was new! We even had to replace most of our furniture.
When I started to decorate I decided to try Command products since we had newly painted walls. I had never used the picture hangers before and they worked fabulously! I have redecorated every room using several of the Command products! Now with the holidays approaching, I will be able to remove some oF the current artwork and replace it with Christmas items - with no new holes in the wall!! and after the holidays, I can switch them back!! THANK YOU FOR SUCH WONDERFUL PRODUCTS!!
I use the removable strips to hang and display craft projects I do with a group of handicapped adults. It's great to have their finished projects where others can see them because they are always proud whenever someone compliments their work. The only problem I have had is that every so often, some of the paint comes off the wall when I remove them.
I use command picture strips to hang up my dry erase boards to use during small groups. These are very sturdy and are easily removable. If I need to hang anything for an extended period of time, I always use these picture strips.
I lived in an apartment where I wasn't allowed to paint the walls and I didn't want tons of nail holes in them. I had seen a great commercial for a beautiful frame and paint idea to spruce up your wall, but knew I couldn't do it. Later that week I found the Command strips while shopping and determined they would be perfect for the job. Rather than painting the wall, I used 2.5" wide ribbon to make the color bands through the center of each row of frames, then I used a medium picture hanging strip on the top right and left of each frame and adhered three of them to the wall spaced visually pleasing vertically, and repeated the process horizontally, creating a matrix of a three x three wall space of black frames with a pop of color with red ribbon behind it. To top it off, I used black and white photos. The Command Strips worked like a dream. My apartment manager began to get mad when she saw what I did, but I surprised her to show her that the frames came off easily and that I hadn't used paint at all. The best thing? When I moved, it took me less than 10 minutes to remove the frames and ribbon and I didn't have any holes to fill!
Saw a project in "Living" magazine, where fabric is placed in picture frames, then set in a geometic pattern on a wall. When I first saw it, all I could think of was what a pain it would be to try to figure out where the nails should go so that there's equal spacing between each frame. NO WORRIES with Command Picture Hangers! Just attach them to the back of the frame, level, easily use a spacer to determine how far it should be from its neighbors, press to the wall and WOW! The best part? Quick and easy to change the fabric to match the season.
Smart idea! Command strips are a great way for me to hang pictures and posters in my dorm room and I don't have to worry about hammers, nails, and making sure the holes are lined up. Command strips come off easily and cleanly and I don't have to worry about paint coming off the walls.
