Amazon carries brick clips.
Hi Cindi,
You can get brick clips at Walmart, Home Depot, Lowes, etc. Here is a link to some at Lowes: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Holiday-Living-2-Pack-Metal-Brick-Light-Clip/1000272453?cm_mmc=SCE_PLA-_-SeasonalOutdoorLiving-_-TrimATree-_-1000272453:Holiday_Living&CAWELAID=&kpid=1000272453&CAGPSPN=pla&store_code=461&k_clickID=go_625671256_34614235630_111133246630_aud-305162224742:pla-521863655454_c_9025389&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI9umL0_Ki3wIVlLrACh1J1g4tEAQYASABEgKVDfD_BwE
I meant attach a picture.
Yep, brick clips... or clips for the gutters if you have gutters and are hanging the lights on the fascia.
Brick clips definitely.
If for some reason you don’t want to use the brick clips, you can use plumber’ or builders’ putty. You massage a big pinch (an ounce) until the putty is soft. Then place it on the bricks and push it in some so it can connect with the porous surface of the brick. Do this for about 3 pinches at a time, about a foot apart. Then run the lights wire along where the putty is. Roll the putty around the wires and continue applying more putty and running more wire. This should work inside or outside, but a deep freeze may make some of the putty falloff—especially if you don’t push the putty into the bricks. Have a wonderful time year around with the lights on the brick, whatever method you use. ☺️
