How do I hang string lights with out anything to hang them on

indoor or outdoors

Where exactly do you want to hang the lights?

There are so many different styles of "string" lights. If you posted a picture of what style you have, more Hometalkers would be able to give answers that are specific to your situation.

Where do you want to hang them? Inside? Outside? I screwed in baby cup hooks on my eves outside. If inside you could always use command hooks.

Velcro

See the attached idea.

I twisted a clothes line cord with my lights to give extra support and reduce stress on the light cord. I secured the clothes line to posts with nails making sure it was slightly tighter so it would bear any stress that would be inflected by wind.

Hi Naomie, glad you liked the idea. It is easy to do. I got the barrels from Big Lots for $20 each. String lights are everywhere too. Good luck with yours, please post when you do. 😍
