Add another hanging sleeve to the bottom of the wallhanging and insert the 2nd piece of lathing. Good luck, as it is a very cute wallhanging!
This is exactly what I'd do also. Adding a hanger sleeve on the bottom is almost a neccesity for a wallhanging of any size. It's actually not a hanger sleeve but there is a piece of flat wood in there to straighten that edge.
