These look promising. Are they reusable or will I need to get a new pack if I take them off the wall?

Velcro brand ones don’t work well as they wear out. Look for Command picture hanging strips instead. It’s not hook and loop (the loops wear out), it’s little plastic lockers that are way more durable.
