For this, take ordinary wine corks. Cut off a strip (0.5-1 cm thick) from the cork. Suitable glue allows you to securely fix the resulting piece of cork in the required place. A small nail with a sharp end is inserted into the cork, which is already glued, so that it can easily enter the cork, since it is porous. To attach heavier pictures, you will need 2 or 3 pieces of cork. Pictures are fixed in a similar way using paper clips, one side of which is bent at an angle of 90 ° to the other part. There are various ways to make metal hooks for fixing products. If the walls are pasted over with wallpaper, then a suitable method of fixing will be an ordinary paper clip, which has a certain color. The color of the paper clip should be selected according to the shade of the wallpaper. You will also need glue, a pencil and a stationery knife. When the place of fastening is chosen, the length of the paper clip is marked on it, then a cut is made. It should be made in the middle, and the edges are carefully moved apart. Using a knife, leave a void between the wallpaper and the wall. Next, change the appearance of the paper clip so that it resembles the shape of a hook. The paper clip should be inserted under the wallpaper and fixed, then removed again and a small amount of glue should be poured into the void. After this, the paper clip is inserted there completely, and each edge should be returned to its original place. After about 10 minutes, the paper clip should be pressed against the wall with a finger. In a day it will dry completely, then you can hang a picture on it. This method makes the paper clip almost invisible. If you use a regular hook to attach an object to a wall with wallpaper, then when you need to remove it, it will not leave significant marks on the surface. They can be smoothed out with your finger without any damage to the wall. It is important to pre-prepare the hook for use. It must be bent as much as possible so that it can fit exactly to the surface of the walls. To close the hook from above, you should prepare a small piece of wallpaper in the same tone as the main ones. To place pictures that will be interconnected, you can use a method that involves using a horizontal or vertical board. It is reinforced with brackets at the bottom or top. Thus, there are many methods for strengthening pictures, so you can get a more reliable fixation of the picture to the wall with subsequent fastening without drilling. The choice of the most suitable method is available to everyone if there is no nail or the ability to drill the wall surface.
