      There are several methods you can use to hang paintings without nails, especially if you want to avoid damaging walls or have restrictions on using nails:

      1. Adhesive Hooks: These are hooks that stick to the wall using adhesive strips. They come in various sizes and strengths, so choose ones that can support the weight of your painting.
      2. Adhesive Strips: Similar to adhesive hooks, these are strips that stick to both the wall and the back of your painting. They provide a strong hold and are designed to be removable without damaging the walls.
      3. Picture Hanging Strips: These are specially designed strips that interlock to hold the picture frame in place. They come in sets and are available in different sizes and weight capacities.
      4. Mounting Putty: This is a reusable adhesive that can hold lightweight objects to surfaces. It’s versatile but may not be suitable for heavy paintings.
      5. Tension Rods: If your painting has a rod pocket or you can attach a sleeve to it, tension rods can be used to hang paintings without needing nails.
      6. Lean Against the Wall: For smaller paintings or frames, you can simply lean them against the wall on a shelf or a piece of furniture.
      7. Easel or Display Stand: Use an easel or a display stand if your painting is small or medium-sized and doesn’t need to be hung on the wall.

      Before choosing a method, consider the weight and size of your painting. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for any adhesive products to ensure they adhere properly and can support the weight of your artwork.
