I've used these for years and keep them up year-round. I moved to a new house this summer, and it has no windowsills. None! Has anyone found a solution? I'm thinking there might be suction cups that can attach to the window itself? I'd really like to get some use out of these and I adore the way the lights look at night. TIA!

Suction cups that can attach to the window

[Etoile308]

I've never found suction cups to be strong enough to hold the weight of candles I've used.  

What I have used is a small shelf with the lip that you close the window on top of to hold the shelf in place. Don't know if I'm describing it well and I don't readily see one online to show a photo. This is the time of year they can sometimes be found amongst the candles.

@Misha227 I tried the suction cups with the narrow BL candles at my daughter's house (crazy dog issue). They didn't work, because the base was too large and the extension from the suction cup to the candle clip wasn't long enough. If that makes sense. The only thing I can think of is to have a piece of furniture the same height as the window sill to set the candles on. Or, maybe they make a small shelf to wedge under the window when it closes. Otherwise, you may have to buy different candles. DD's candles look like this:

Here's another idea on youtube.

A great holiday decor hack to keep those window candles from falling off your window sill. Find out how I simply use a zip tie to keep window candles from falling down.

Ooh, that may actually work for most of my windows! Thank you!
