Im moving into an apartment but i cant use nails or double sided tape to hang stuff!!! What do i use?

Check it out - the 3m command strips others mentioned are perfect, come off clean if properly applied. I use them all over during holidays when I don't want holes in the all for temporary stuff. Also to hang pot holders on the wall or for coat hangers.

I think there is some product that has like a sticky backing and has a plastic hook on it. And it will stick to the wall and when you are done with it you pull the tab from underneath it and it removes the sticky stuff from the surface and removes the hook without residue. I saw it on a commercial the other day and it seems pretty cool. I forgot the name and brand of it but you might be able to find it at like target or walmart. Good luck! =]Im moving into an apartment but i cant use nails or double sided tape to hang stuff!!! What do i use?
Maybe you could use nice book cases to accentuate your decorations? Also, you could get a couple of room dividers that you could hang things on. The other answers given to you about the command hooks are right on. It's a great product. Did you talk to the landlord and ask if you put a few things up could you possibly fill the holes and touch up the holes with matching paint when you leave? They may not go for it... but it could be worth a try.
I agree about the sticky tack stuff. You can get it in many colors, but that doesn't really matter. Roll it into a ball and stick away. It won't hold heavy objects such as framed pictures, but it works well for posters, articles, etc.
I live in a dorm on college campus and have the same problem. I used poster putty. its this yellow putty that you mold to make sticky. it works fairly well and doesnt leave any remnants on the wall. they sell it at walmart.
Right on, Freedomblazes! Those 3M Command Hooks are the deal. Buy 'em at Home Depot and lots of other places. They actually come off without harming the paint. We use them for our Christmas stockings every year. No worries.
3M makes these things called command strips.





they can be taken off easily and don't leave marks when you are through
I agree you can use 3M, it's easy to use and hold your things well.
