Thread: This scene setter is going to be the death of me!!! Help!

Tweet

Ok, so the hubby & I spent 2 hours on Friday night putting up those stone scene setters in our garage for the party. They are 4' high so we put them up 2 rows high to extend the stone wall up higher in the garage. We woke up Saturday morning, looked in the garage & the WHOLE thing had fallen off of the walls. We had used lots of scotch tape & it looked like it was going to hold...apparently not! Saturday night, we spent more time putting it up again, this time using a clear, stronger duct tape. Sunday morning, most of it was on the floor again!!! I'm at a loss. It seems that tape just doesn't like to stick to the actual scene setter. For those of you who use scene setters or have used them in the past, what do you use to keep them on the walls??? I would LOVE some advice.

try thumb tacks.

I use a staple gun with a peice of paper or thin peice of cardboard depending on the use . Works great even in the wind.

staple gun is the easiest way to put it
up

command strips? Tape rolled and stuck to the back?

I did my whole garage and have used thumb tacks (hammered in or youll kill your thumbs trying to push), blue removable sticky tack from walmart (good to attach to other scene setters if overlapping so they wont flutter and at the sides). Ive tried the 3m tape and it doesnt stick well to mine, Im in high humidity. I also have random nails in the walls and I push the setter into the nail and it helps to keep it stable.

thumb tacs or what about that putty that teachers hang their posters with? You know the kind every kid wanted because it was so awesome?

THANK YOU so much for the suggestions. We're definitely going to try the thumb tacks & maybe some blue removable sticky tack from Walmart too. At this point those things are going up on the walls, even if we have to nail them down!!!

So you staple the scene setter to the card board & then how does the cardboard go up?

Buzzard - I used to have the exact same trouble. But last year I found 'glue spots' at my local staples (but I imagine you could find them in any office or craft supply store). they are Elmer's brand craft bond glue spots and they are almost invisible, tiny little glue spots that you peel off a paper roll. they stuck to the scene setters really well for me and removed with out any wall damage at all. I'm going to use them again this year. Good luck to you!
