How can I hang photo frames and such on a cinder block wall without drilling holes?

Question

I am living in an apartment that has cinder block walls. How can I hang things on cinder block walls without drilling holes into the wall but at the same time making sure it will hold the frames and such. I am renting this apartment so I don't want to do anything that would take away from my deposit. Thanks!

Answer 1

The 3-M plastic hangers with the stick-on backing works really well.  I use those to hang wet towels in my bathroom on drywall, and they stick really good.  They release when you pull the tabs, so you don't have to worry about any damage, but they are super strong, too.  The hardware section at the local walmart has them.

Answer 2

try those things that have the putty stuff...you can stick it on the wall and then when you wanna take it down you pull the tab and it comes right off...but i cant for the life of me remember what its called...sorry

Answer 3

There is a double sided sticky tape that will hold your pics up, works great I used it in my apt for the same reason, hold very well, it is in the section of dept stores like walmart or Kmart by the nails and hooks for walls, 3M makes little squares and Ace hardware makes a roll you can buy.

Answer 4

There is a product available at walmart or home depot. It is an easy release hanger. It's like the adhesive hangers but you can remove this one . Just check in the hardware section.

Answer 5

You cant.Tape and sticky products won't work.They don't hold.They do make little holders that clamp the edges of the mortar, and hold them that way. From edge of mortar,to edge of mortar. You can try those,they are pretty good. Just so you know,those tape and sticky products fall if it ever gets warm inside your apartment. Byee

Answer 6

The brand 3M makes these like sticky hooks that you might of seen around christmas time for hanging stockings and all but they make them in different sizes as well.  They might be your best bet cause they peel right off and no one is the wiser.....
