Household Tip #15

8:07 AM


I’m not ready to commit to screwing hooks into my mantle.  I tried last year, but I just couldn’t.  The thought of unnecessary holes in beautiful craftsmanship makes me cringe.  I’m not going to ruin the tradition of Xmas stockings because of my OC tendencies though. 
I was very hesitant about these adhesive hooks because they might not be strong enough.  I also thought they would look tacky.  They aren’t gorgeous, but they aren’t terrible.  They have many different varieties, so I went with the brushed nickel.
This is year two and they’re not so bad.

You can find them at Lowe's, The Home Depot, Target, Wal-Mart, Staples or any other office supply store.
