How to hang a blanket on a wall.

They are available in styles that match just about any decor. Instead of displaying a gallery of art on canvas or photographs in your main living area hang a quilt or afghan as a large focal piece. There are lots and lots of other quilt clip hangers for the wall. Wrap the blanket around the small canvas so the area you wish to display is centered on the canvas.

Make a hanging sleeve. Thicker blankets may only need pins every 10 to 12 inchesto stay flat. You can avoid this by placing a pin every few inches. Hang the canvas on parallel nails attached to wall studs or wall anchors.

One of the most secure ways to hang your moving blanket directly onto the wall is to nail it into place. Also hanging a heavy blanket on the wall will need a lot of pins. For a larger canvas stitch the blanket onto the canvas near the perimeter of the blanket. Another way to hang a quilt on the wall is to sew a fabric tube called a hanging sleeve to the back of the quilt then thread a dowel or a rod through the sleeve to hang the quilt.

It looks like your quilt is floating on the wall. Alternatively you can attach velcro strips to the wall and the back of your quilt so you can easily hang it up and take it down. Staple or tack the blanket along the back inside edge of the frame. Hang the blanket with nails if you are planning to leave it up for a while.

Using only a handful around the corners will result in a droopy appearance. Your prettiest blankets will always be at home on the bed but walls are an equally great place to showcase these interesting textiles. Use a hammer to drive a nail into each of the 4 corners of the blanket. Then insert it through the sleeve or tabs on the quilt and mount it on the wall using brackets.

Also easy to adjust by pulling out the extendable rod for different quilt sizes and to make sure the quilt hangs straight on the wall. To hang a quilt start by purchasing a hanging rod that s at least as long as your quilt is wide.
