Need a different way to hang up artwork

[Undercover_Man]

What is up guys? My mom has some watercolor paintings that hangs up at different places. Right now she is hanging them up at a library. Now at the library they have this wall which at the top has somehthing like an indention at the very top. Now we have these hooks so it goes in the top and we've been tying fish line from one end of the little round hook on the picture frame and looping it around the hook at the top of the wall and tying it off at the other end of the frames hook. Am I explaining it very well???

Well the problem with this is sometimes the line breaks. We've tried looping it more than once and I think that helps. But there's still the risk. The pictures also lean forward a bit since the hooks in the frame are not at the very top (the hooks I'm talking about are the little round hooks that the wire attaches to)

We need a new way to do this. A safer way so the pix don't fall off. Fortunately the 3 pix that HAVE fallen have NOT broken. Still haven't figured out how they didn't break at the height they fell from. We want (if line is used) the line to be clear so it's not seen. They got to be hung up so no stands since it'd be too easy for ppl to just walk out with them. Any ideas??? THANKS

3M makes poster hanging adhesive strips that can attach something to a wall, and be removed by pulling and stretching the adhesive. A few more would be needed for a frame than for a poster, but it would work.

Don't think the library (and other places) would like us to stick adhesive on their walls. Unless they came off without damaging the paint and it didn't leave any marks or sticky stuff. Are these safe for walls with paint and wallpaper?

If the fishing line is breaking, why not use lightweight braided wire instead?

Use a heavier test fishing line. They should make a pretty heavy line in clear.

Also, that 3M stuff that was mentioned earlier is supposed to come off clean.
