Hello, I am hoping someone can help me with this:

What's the best way to hang rope lights around windows so they are visible to anyone outdoors?

Tried tape, but it falls to easily because the temperature affects the adhesive.

Thanks in advance!!

My husband and I bought enough rope lights last year after Christmas to go around my store windows. They came with clips to mount them. The clips are held on with a nail or screw. You don't need many on the sides, except to keep things straight. If you don't already own the lights, see if you can't get lights made for Christmas and use those. They're made to be put up. :)

Well, if I use the nails or screws, they would have to go around the sil of the window, where the ligts will not be visible? Right?

I want to mount the rope ligts against my windows indoors (regular house).

Also, thanks for the reply!

what about those suction cups that have hooks? they're clear & come in lots of sizes. they might not be too noticable - especially at night when the lights are on.
