Expert Answer

Always plug your lights into exterior GFCI outlets. Do not run an extension cord from an outlet inside a house through a window—this is a big no-no!

Temporary brick clips are a good option. There are also extra strong adhesive putties you can use on outdoor brick surfaces.

Temporary brick clips or adhesive hooks are great options for hanging up garlands. If you want a more permanent mount that you can use again, install some masonry screws and hang the garland over those.

According to the Command website, Command products are not designed to stick to brick or other rough surfaces. However, some people have had success getting Command strips or hooks to stay on brick with the assistance of a bit of hot glue.
