Filling / covering nail holes in walls?

I've searched the forums and haven't seen any information on this...

Any suggestions for how to cover nail holes in the wallpaper?

Thanks,
Chris

Not sure what sort of wallpaper a U320 has in it but I've filled the holes from the shade valences in with white GE Supreme Silicone.  Blends in well so long as you make sure that there is no lip on the wallpaper.  Need to ensure it is a smooth surface when you apply it.

If I remember correctly, in college toothpaste of a color that matched the paint in the dorms was used to fill the holes.
It was said that if the walls ever got soaked they would collapse because they had so much toothpaste in them

I never went to Colgate College, but Ipana was the choice of available fillers in the late 60's.( I was a Crest boy, kinda turquoise-lookin' and so—always paid the damage deposit out of my job.)

 I'm interested in putting up some pieces and would like to do no harm.

Paul, we have had very good luck hanging things using 3M Command strips and hooks.  And the do come off with no damage and seem to hold on pretty well.
