    Finally! A direct, simple, inexpensive way to hang a tapestry. I've looked for quite a while and you weren't kidding when you said this is the easiest tutorial on RUclips. Brilliant.

    Wow this is so simple and smart, I can't believe I didn't think of this! I'm going to be a freshman and Western Kentucky University in the fall and I want to decorate my drab dorm room with a tapestry. Thanks for the awesome idea!

    You can also use colored binder clips and command hooks. If you removed one of the silver metal parts after clamping it (and store it so you don't lose it!) it doesn't look half bad.

    I LOVE you! I'm not worried about damaging the wall, because i'm doing this at home but I live in a really old house, and have plaster walls, and cant put a thumbtack in, or nails cleary... Seriously thankyou!!

    I used scotch fasteners to hang my tapestry. They're little squares of velcro and surprisingly stick to fabric really well.

    i may be 7 years late, but im hoping you will see this (that may be a bit too hopeful). Where did you get those mini clothespins? i have looked at a few places and couldnt find them anywhere.

  • @stacypellow7431
    @stacypellow7431 7 лет назад

    super cute idea!
    I was excited to try it because I didn't want to put holes on my fabric. Unfortunately, it did not work. the fabric kept slipping out of the clothespins before I could get to another side of it. I ended up having to use nails, but left the clips up to look like they were holding it up.

      no cause gravity is more likely to pull it down- have a look on youtube about using liquid starch- military wifes use it and its great cause it sticks it to the wall without leaving marks. To get it off you just use water. deffo recomend

    ooo Clever and different!
    Quick tip, you can use iron on seems to strengthen the corners/edges of your tapestry so it won't rip when you hang it (especially if you put a pen through it). Its cheap and easy, just make sure you use another piece of cloth like an old t shirt or bed sheet (or similar) on top so you don't accidentally burn through your most likely really thin tapestry. ;)
