What's the best way to hang lights around a window? People use tape and by the end of the day half the lights are drooping and it looks terrible. I haven't done it yet since I've been here but I would like to this year. I'm talking inside around the rim of the window.

I've put some permanant hooks in the wood frame of my windows. I hang some sort of decorations on these almost year around

Well I need to find another way because I live in an apartment.

I've seen glass magnet hooks at Hobby Lobby, they are 2 piece and one goes on one side of glass and one piece on other side. They are quite strong

3M Command adhesive makes Christmas light hooks that work exceedingly well and are cheap. If you just keep an eye on them year round, they're bound to go on sale/clearance and you can pick them up even cheaper. I've seen them labeled as both Christmas light hooks and just decorating clips. Usually the ones with the seasonal packaging sells for a bit more :x.On the glass itself, you'll have absolutely no problem at all getting them off with no marks.

at Hobby Lobby I saw some suction cups that you stick to the glass and then flip a little lever down, they look to have good potential.
