Hang mesh butterflies without nails to ensure you do not mar the wall surface. Small adhesive hooks will effectively hold the butterflies right where you want them. When you wish to take down the butterflies, remove the adhesive hooks carefully to avoid damaging the wall. Does this Spark an idea?

Examine the adhesive strip that affixes to the back of the hook -- one side has a red liner and the other side has a black liner. Remove the red liner from the strip and affix it firmly to the back of a hook. Remove the remaining black liner from the hook and press the hook onto the wall firmly. Continue pressing the hook for 30 to 60 seconds for secure mounting.

Tips & Warnings
If you wish to remove an adhesive hook, hold the hook gently with your fingers without pressing too firmly. Pull the protruding adhesive tab from the bottom of the hook straight down at least 6 inches. The adhesive will separate from the wall, and the hook will come off.
Never pull the adhesive tab toward you when removing the hook -- this may cause it to fly off unexpectedly toward your face and/or cause damage to the wall.
