    How do I stick wooden letters on door?

    Hi everyone,

    Hubby got my LO some cute letters spelling his name to put on the door. We have a brand new house we just moved into and I wanted to get them up on his door today. Just not sure how to attach them as there are no holes to hook them onto a nail and no adhesive on the back. Any suggestions for permanent or removable options?

    Thanks!

    Blu Tac Just be sure to pull off slowly when you want to remove it

    I wonder if Blutack would stain the paint on the door??
    I was going to suggest (though it might be costly) some of those removable tab things that come with hooks but just using the tab things ??

    Permanent fixture - liquid nails!! or another strong hold type of glue.

    Yep, we used 3M removable double sided tabs for DD's room. Worked a treat and no staining.

    I agree those 3M door tabs are super strong and easy to remove, and you can buy the tabs separately from the hooks.

    You can get the 3M Command strips which the other's are talking about in an almost velcro like thing (but better than velcro). I've used it to hang a couple of canvas pictures in DD's room and it works great.

    We used blu tac as well. They've been on DS's door for nearly 18 months and haven't fallen off yet!
