How to hang
 

I am making a Christmas wall hanging and I will need to remove it after the holidays, so I thought I would use a command hook, but I really have no idea how you attach the quilt to the wall. I really don't want to put any nails in the wall and I wouldn't want the command hook to show. So how do you hang wall hangings?

These work well for hanging quilts or projects. The come in different sizes.

I don’t know how big your wallhanging is, but Command makes the cutest clothespins in black or white. I’ve got several quilts hung with these. This quilt is 32x39”, and it’s held perfectly for more than six months now!

I will have to find some of those Command clothespins - so cute!

They’re small, but they do the job for wallhangings! I wish they made them in a bigger size, too....

On a recent Sewing with Nancy, RIP, program she suggested using just the adhesive part the command hooks and not the hook itself. Attach sticky strip to wall, let set, and then attach you quilt the outer side of the sticky strip where you would normally place the hook. If you wall hanging isn't to large, maybe this would work for you.

My suggestion would be to use a nail and make other seasonal wall hangings to put up in the same place :sew:

I hung a queen sized quilt last year using about five command strips that looked like Velcro across the top. When I decided to take down the quilt, it was easy to remove the strips from both the wall and the quilt. No residue was apparent on either the wall or the quilt.

Good suggestions. Have not seen the clothes pins, but will watch for them now. Love it. Good luck with hanging your seasonal quilt wall hanging.

I helped a friend make a holiday quilt with corner pockets that she plans to literally hang over her normal living room painting. (Think slip cover for a painting.) that way she can reuse it each year and not have to “find room “ for it to hang. Neat idea huh?

I'm wondering if your clothespins are a newer version from Command. I tried some of these a while ago and they literally fell apart in my hands. I was so disappointed and actually wrote to the company but never heard back from them. Now I might have to try them again.

Here's a link to the ones that are used on pictures, and the one's that were shown by Nancy Z.(RIP)

We use little binder clips. White for light quilts and black for dark quilts. Love those command strips

Oh yeah, we use the small white hooks then hang the binder clips on it then clip the quilt to the binder clip.

That is a clever idea! I might have to steal it. :)
