You can hang your stained glass suncatchers from a curtain rod positioned between your existing rod and the window. If your window is wide, you'll need a center brace to prevent bowing.

Cup hooks are another option for hanging stained glass. These twist into the wall or (wooden) window frame and are significantly more secure than suction hooks or nails.

Picture hooks, designed to anchor into your wall, are a much safer option for hanging your stained glass! They are available in a wide range of sizes, materials, and finishes. Or you can paint them to match your walls. Affiliate link

I have not used these but have know people who use them to hang stained glass suncatchers or panels. It's a quick easy option that leave no marks when removed. They are more noticeable than other options. If you try it, let me know how you feel about them. Affiliate link
Removable hooks - maybe
A big step up from the old plastic suction cups, but I still don't trust them for long term!
Strong Hold Suction Hooks - maybe
Slightly better than a suction hook but not as good as a cup hook - use with caution!
Tacks For Walls - not great
Small nails tacked into the wall above your window are an improvement over a tack. There's nothing to anchor the nail, so don't use these for anything other than your smallest pieces of stained glass. Affiliate link
Brad nails -not great
