I am in the decorating stage of my TM and am trying to figure out a way to hand pictures :confused: We have put velcro on the wall and on the backs of the pictures but after a day or so, they fall off. Even the velcro on the walls have pulled off. Does anyone have some suggestions?

Thank you,

That's weird that the velcro has fallen off. :confused: I use the heavy-duty velcro for my picture hanging (it's about 2" wide, black and wickedly grippy to the point that removing the pictures requires running a knife through the velcro to make it release or the back of the picture frame pops off) Maybe try the velcro again but prepare the surface more? Do you leave your pictures up while travelling? Maybe you need to take them down except for the picture on the bathroom wall. And only use picture frames whose backs are flush or nearly flush with the wall so the velcro can really attach.

Try making your pictures lighter by replacing the metal frames with light weight wood and exchanging the heavy glass for plexiglass. It works for us.

Thank you for your replies. I do some of the things suggested - taking pictures off the wall. But now I have industrial Velcro. We will try this when we camp this weekend.
