1Step 1: Prep Your Mantel
Start with a clean, dry surface and gather your holiday décor essentials:

- Holiday stockings

2Step 2: Hang Stockings on a Mantel Without Nails
Determine where you want your stockings to shine on the mantel. Space the stockings evenly for balance and symmetry. Once the spots are chosen, place the FrogTape reMOVEables® Heavy-Duty Medium White Hook directly on the mantel to use as a stocking hanger, for a secure hold with no nails required.
Ideal for any area of the home, FrogTape reMOVEables stick to a variety of smooth, firm surfaces with no tools required. For a strong hold every time, follow the tips listed below on how to apply and remove the wall hooks.
- Prep: Clean and dry the surface, removing any dust or debris. Make sure to wait seven days after painting to apply the wall hook to the surface.
- Apply: Remove the liner from one side of the strip and press to the hook firmly and evenly. Next, remove the liner from the exposed side of the strip and press the hook to the desired mounting surface. After that, make sure to apply even pressure to the hook for at least 15 seconds. Wait at least one hour before use.
- Remove: Hold the edges of the hook, grab the tab below and pull straight down slowly.
- Pro Tip: Pulling away from the strip will cause damage, so keep the strip and tab close to the wall when stretching to remove.
