Wall hanging decorative assembly having a flexible strip with removable adhesive and a non-adhesive gap

A method of assembling a decorative object assembly for attachment to a vertical surface, comprising:

• adhering a first layer of adhesive to a flexible planar strip made of a thermoplastic polymer, the planar strip defining an upper edge, a lower edge, and a vertical direction between the upper and lower edges, and the adhering step comprises adhering the first layer of adhesive onto an upper vertical section extending downward from the upper edge of the planar strip, for releasable attachment to the vertical surface;
• configuring an attachment mechanism for attachment to the decorative block on a lower vertical section of the planar strip;
• wherein, following the adhering and configuring steps, the planar strip comprises a gap section vertically between the lower vertical section and the upper vertical section, on which no adhesive is adhered,
• wherein either (1) the flexible planar strip is composed of polyethylene terephthalate or polypropylene, and a vertical length of the gap section is approximately between 10 and 25 times a thickness of the flexible planar strip, or (2) the flexible planar strip is composed of ethylene-vinyl acetate foam, and the vertical length of the gap section is approximately between 2 to 4 times the thickness of the flexible planar strip;
• and
• attaching, with the attachment mechanism, the lower vertical section of the planar strip to a substantially planar decorative block.
