I have a full brick wall in my living room. How do I attach hooks for Christmas stockings?

Thank you, everyone. It looks like drilling or hammering is the only way to go. The bricks don't protrude enough for the clips.

Since bricks are porous and not smooth, there nothing like tape or putty that will hold. If you decide to drill make sure you use a masonry bit and drill into the mortar joint.

Masonry nails can be hammered right into the mortar between the bricks.

I can't use clips, so it will have to be drilled if there is no other way. Thank you

Other than drilling into the mortar joint, you can use Brick Clips. ***** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPqP58FCPDk ***** <a href='https://www.walmart.com/ip/Adams-Mfg.-Christmas1450991040Metal-Brick-Clip-2PK-BRICK-CLIP/38470908?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=1194&adid=22222222227026498153&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=55357670409&wl4=pla-87864152889&wl5=9021628&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=112550058&wl11=online&wl12=38470908&wl13=&veh=sem' rel='nofollow' title='https://www.walmart.com/ip/Adams-Mfg.-Christmas1450991040Metal-Brick-Clip-2PK-BRICK-CLIP/38470908?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=1194&adid=22222222227026498153&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=55357670409&wl4=pla-87864152889&wl5=9021628&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=112550058&wl11=online&wl12=38470908&wl13=&veh=sem' target='_blank'> https://www.walmart.com/ip/Adams-Mfg.-Christm ... ***** <a href='http://www.lowes.com/pd/The-Hillman-Group-Brick-Block-Hangers/3044632?cm_mmc=SCE_PLA-_-ToolsAndHardware-_-PictureHangingAnd3m-_-3044632:The_Hillman_Group&CAWELAID=&kpid=3044632&CAGPSPN=pla&store_code=2304&k_clickID=1c9eafb5-5340-4dca-a62f-3e0119678e4b' rel='nofollow' title='http://www.lowes.com/pd/The-Hillman-Group-Brick-Block-Hangers/3044632?cm_mmc=SCE_PLA-_-ToolsAndHardware-_-PictureHangingAnd3m-_-3044632:The_Hillman_Group&CAWELAID=&kpid=3044632&CAGPSPN=pla&store_code=2304&k_clickID=1c9eafb5-5340-4dca-a62f-3e0119678e4b' target='_blank'> http://www.lowes.com/pd/The-Hillman-Group-Bri ...
