You could drill very small holes through the letters and pin them to the door, provided that the door is wooden or made of other material that can be penetrated. You could also drill holes through the letters and screw them to the door. This would satisfy the no glue requirement, but in each case, you would make holes in the door.

If it is a metal door, you could glue a thin magnetic membrane to the back of the letters and the magnet would hold them on a steel door.

There is also available two-sided adhesive tape, such as carpet tape. The tape sticks to the letters and to the door, and when it is removed it leaves no trace, or if it leaves a slight residue it is easily cleaned off.

Rubber cement might work and it would peel off the door easily when the letters are removed. Velcro would also work, but the part glued to the door is very hard to remove. All of these solutions involve glue however.

If you want to make it permanent and strong, use Fevicol.
If you want to do it in an instant, use Instantglue![Be careful you do not let it touch your fingers! Otherwise, in a second your fingers will get glued together, and then you will need surgery to separate them!]

Make a pencil line on the door, so that the letters fixed on the door are aligned straight.

Also, see that you use just a little on the back of each wooden letter, and apply the letter immediately to the door. It will stick in seconds! Ensure there isn't too much of this liuquid, because then if it trickles / runs down the door you cannot wipe it! The door will look bad.
Happy woodworking!

Answer 4

Go to Walmart or a craft store and buy some of the precut velcro dots. You can put the dots on the back of the letters (like one at the top, bottom and a couple in the middle - depending on how big they are) and put the coordinating pieces of the dots on the door and stick them up matching the two sections of the dots. If they ever need to be taken down, just remove the dots and clean the residual stickiness with Goo-Gone. Good luck!

Answer 5

Auto parts stores sell emblem adhesives for this purpose which are removed all the time with no problem by body shops all the time. The same stores also sell adhesive remover for this purpose. If you don't want to go this route, you can use double sided tape (use a leading brand). Other than that, the only other way is to drill holes and use fasteners, but if you don't want to use glue I think you would want to drill holes even less.

Answer 6

Use fast drying wood glue and tape the letters to the door while the glue dries.

Answer 7

Attach them to something else (another piece of wood, picture frame...) then hang that on the door. There are hooks with quick release sticky tape that won't harm the door.

Answer 8

I got wooden letters for my son and just hung them on the wall in his room, looks really cute!

Answer 9

Use wood glue - can find at Lowe's or Home Depot

Answer 10

Fun Tak. It will not leave marks, and should hold the letters just fine. I don't know why people are suggesting glue when you specifically say that you can't use glue.

Answer 11

there is this blue putty like stuff that you get at the craft store. it is sticky but then can be removed like a sticky piece of gum. leaves no residue. my mom hangs posters in my room this way.
