How to Hang a Tapestry 8 Different Ways
Turn fabric into a work of art by stretching it over a wood frame or plywood board. Stretch and fold the tapestry over the frame, and attach with a staple gun. Use sawtooth picture hangers to mount on the wall. If your textile is thin, you may want to stretch and staple canvas to the frame first so the wood isn’t visible through the fabric.

:
Weighty textiles and tapestries may need more support, and a baseboard will help secure the piece to the wall. Select a board that will fit in the rod pocket in the back of the tapestry.
:
Use a rod to hang tapestries with pockets in the back. If your piece is rectangular or particularly large, you could also drape it over the rod to create a faux headboard or an eye-catching display over the sofa.
