I used 2 1/2 yds flannel backed fake leather as thick as I could get. (JoAnn's using a 40% off coupon) Screwed it onto the wall using a 1 x 2 piece of wood also 2 1/2 yds. long. Fabric behind the wood. I was going to also put the wood on the bottom but found I didn't need to as it hung so well. Mine is in my quilting loft so I can only hang it the width of the fabric. You could hang it as high on the wall as you would like to.
