What's a good way to mount pictures on a wall that doesnt involve making holes? Is there some kind of adhesive material glue that doesnt remove the paint from walls? I'm talking about photos without frames.

thanks

Isn't there some type of "Command" or "Commander" adhesive stuff, double-sided, easy to remove (you just stretch it...) ?

Yeah, "Command" by 3M....

If you decide to try that stuff, I recommend getting as little as you can at first to see how it works for you. I've used some to put up some posters and small pictures on my kids walls (they want to change what they have up so often it seemed like the best alternative). Despite having stuff rated for much heavier objects than we were hanging, our results have been mixed.

The heavier rated stuff has worked better for me than their very light weight stuff, which, according to the packaging, should have been more than enough.

Thank you! I am going to Home Depot right now to get some of the light weight stuff.

In England, we use something called "blue-tack" to put posters up on our walls. Sticks pretty good with no residue when you come to take it down again.

3M External Double Side Sticky tape (the waterproof, gray one), works great...
