An article (100) for securing an object to a surface is provided. The article comprises a conformable backing (30) having top and bottom major surfaces and a perimeter edge, an adhesive (36) coated on at least a portion of the bottom major surface of the backing, and a self-supporting carrier (50) releasably adhered to the top major surface of the backing, the carrier having spaced-apart first and second sections (50), each section having a central edge. The central edges define opposing borders of an object-conformable region (37) of the backing. On opposite sides of the object-conformable region, the backing comprises two anchor regions. Also provided is a method of using the article to secure an object to the surface. The method comprises using at least one section of the carrier to conform the backing to at least a portion of the topological shape of the object to be secured to the surface.
