What do you call those hanging hooks? ... (((read more)))?

okay, its 1:03am, and I'm looking on the web for hooks you can stick on and hang your pictures or stuff on them. I am "brain dead" right now, and can't think of how to say it on the web search lol. So what are they called? Thanks.

What do you call those hanging hooks? ... (((read more)))?
Hmmm...guess I just learned something from the ReDesign diva....They really don't damage the wall surface???





I don't know a specific name, either, but I would not use the adhesive kind. They can very easily (read will) remove a big patch of paint/drywall if you ever want to move or remove them.





Use the type that uses a very small nail. They go into the wall at an angle, supporting the load nicely. You can get different sizes that have different weight loads. and when you need to remove them, there is just a tiny little hole that hardly ever shows.





I would look under "picture hanging"





Good Luck

Reply:They are repositionable self adhesive hooks. They come with special double sided tape that has a tab that is left free of the hook. When you are moving or just rearranging stuff, you just pull down on the tab (while holding the hook) and the hook comes off the wall without leaving any mark or pulling great patches of paint off your walls. The are made in various sizes that can hold different weights and are made by 3M. You should be able to find them in a hardware store in the same section that you would find traditional picture hooks.
