- Wipe the areas where hooks will be placed with rubbing alcohol, then allow them to dry completely.
- Follow the Command™ hook instructions to apply them, making sure not to exceed the recommended weight limit.
- Measure and cut fishing line into the lengths you need for hanging lightweight decorations like ghosts or bats.
