Default Help Me Pimp My Bedroom.

I bought 18 1-square-foot mirrors for my bedroom

They are setup like this (each O is a mirror)

O O O O O O
O O O O O O
O O O O O O

I'm guessing that each mirror weighs 1-2 lbs.

The back of the packaging recommended this double sided adhesive that I bought. I applied a sticky square to each corner of every mirror, and my room was looking awesome.

Then when I woke up a few days ago 2 squares fell down.
Yesterday 1 more fell down.
2 more are looking like they're about to fall down.

I'm looking for an adhesive that will make them stick for sure, but won't mess up my drywall when I take them down (I live in an apartment)

Any help would be appreciated because this is getting frustrating.

I'm guessing the mirrors don't have wire on the back like picture frames do. I'd go with more tape or a similar, but different decorative idea.
