Hanging Clips 3M Command 8 pcs – 3M model 17017CLR-AWWCEE for lightweight string lights and cables

3M Command hanging clips (pack of 8) provide a non-invasive way to secure lightweight string lights, small cables and decorations to smooth indoor surfaces. The clips are designed for temporary and seasonal use, allowing fixtures to be affixed without nails, screws or drilling, and removed later with minimal risk of surface damage. This solution suits users who need a quick, low-impact mounting option for painted walls, tiles, glass and other even surfaces.

Advantages

The adhesive mounting clips offer a damage-free alternative to traditional fasteners, enabling quick installation and clean removal. Each clip holds lightweight cords and small decorative items securely while keeping them organized and out of the way. The clear finish is intended to be visually unobtrusive on most surfaces, and the compact design minimizes the footprint of the mounted cable or light string.

Suitable for

• Hanging lightweight string lights and fairy lights indoors
• Routing small cables and power cords along walls and trim
• Temporary holiday and event decorations
• Mounting small decorative items on painted walls, tiles or glass

When it may not be suitable

These clips are intended for lightweight applications and may not support heavier fixtures, large power adapters, or thick bundles of cable. They perform best on clean, smooth, non-porous surfaces; on rough, textured or freshly painted surfaces adhesion can be reduced. For permanent installations or load-bearing requirements, mechanical fasteners or specialized hardware should be used instead.

Key specifications

• Quantity: pack of 8 clips
• Material: clear plastic mounting clips with adhesive backing
• Intended use: lightweight cords, string lights and small decorations
• Surface compatibility: painted walls, tiles, glass and other smooth surfaces
• Installation type: adhesive (no drilling or nails required)

How to use

Clean and dry the mounting surface thoroughly before applying. Remove the protective liner from the adhesive backing, press the clip firmly to the surface for the recommended time to ensure secure adhesion, then route the string light or cable into the clip. Allow any adhesive to set as specified by the manufacturer before loading with the intended weight. To remove, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for adhesive removal to minimize the chance of surface damage.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the clips are suitable for the surface type where they will be used (smooth, clean, dry surfaces are ideal)
• Check the weight and thickness of cords or lights to ensure they qualify as lightweight for these clips
• Consider whether a temporary, damage-free mounting solution meets your long-term needs

Usage recommendations

For best results, apply clips to clean, dry surfaces at room temperature and avoid applying over fresh paint or textured finishes. Space clips according to the weight and length of the cable or light string to prevent sagging; replace adhesive strips before reusing clips if adhesion weakens.
