Introduction
Tapestries have become increasingly popular in recent years as an attractive and creative way to decorate walls in homes, dorm rooms, and offices. One of the most convenient methods for hanging a tapestry without damaging the walls or resorting to nails is using Command Strips. In this article, we’ll discuss three easy ways to hang your tapestry with Command Strips for a hassle-free decorating experience.
Method 1: Using Command Picture Hanging Strips
1. Clean the wall surface where you’ll hang your tapestry. Make sure it’s free from dust and debris to ensure proper adhesion.
2. Lay your tapestry flat on the floor, with its front side facing down.
3. Attach four sets of Command Picture Hanging Strips on each of the tapestry’s corners (one set per corner). Press firmly for about 30 seconds to secure the strips.
4. Remove the liners from one side of each strip pair and attach them to corresponding spots on the clean wall. Make sure the wall side strips align with the ones on the tapestry.
5. Remove the other liners and press your tapestry onto the wall firmly, making sure each strip pair clicks together.
Method 2: Using Command Hooks and Clips
1. Determine how many hooks you’ll need based on your tapestry’s size, shape, and weight.
2. Clean areas on the wall where you plan to place hooks for optimum adhesion.
3. Attach Command Hooks to clips (either directly or by using a string loop) so they can hold onto your tapestry.
4. Adhere hooks to cleaned wall portions according to manufacturer’s instructions, holding them firmly for 30 seconds.
5. Once hooks are secured, gently clip or loop your tapestry edges onto them.
Method 3: Incorporating a Rod or Dowel
1. Attach Command Hooks at both ends of your tapestry width on the wall, ensuring proper distance based on the rod or dowel length.
2. Carefully slide the rod or dowel through a sleeve, pocket, or loops on the top edge of your tapestry.
3. Gently rest the rod or dowel on the Command Hooks installed on the wall.
Conclusion
Hanging a tapestry with Command Strips is a simple and effective way to enhance any room without causing damage to walls. By using one of these three methods—Command Picture Hanging Strips, Command Hooks with clips, or a rod/dowel incorporation—you can easily showcase your beautiful tapestry and enjoy hassle-free decorating.
