Pardon the stupid question, but I have 3m command hooks. I need to create the opposite. I have a tiny dry erase board I want to hold up with said hooks and have it be removable. I need to create holes/holder/mounting points to adhere to the dry erase board. What are those called?

I tried searching “command hooks” but it gives me the hooks themselves. How do I search for the opposite? What are they even called?

    Pretty much do the same thing, I leave the pull tabs visible to make it easier to pull down later but it’s definitely the best option IMO, the block option is a good one too if you really care about hiding those. Found this one https://www.printables.com/model/330707-simple-dry-erase-board-mount on printables that’s more of a hook type mount, but yeah, something in that could work too.

      I assume 3M makes those inserts for their hooks because it’s difficult to mass-produce cheap hollow objects with a firm flat back.

      We don’t have that problem.

      I have stuck all manner of things to the wall with command strips — power strips, 3D-printed hooks, boxes… whatever has a flat back works fine.
