How to hang a heavy blanket on the wall.

The rozeta as any other crochet piece can be just hang onto the wall but because it is big and heavy it can stretch a lot and lose its shape.

You can also create your own hanging system. Some cal followers mounted their blankets and shared pictures on facebook and instagram. The hooks can be removed without damaging the wall. Find a metal rod slightly shorter than the width of the haanging.

Thicker blankets may only need pins every 10 to 12 inchesto stay flat. If you ever take the blanket you might have tiny marks that resemble a stitch hole. You can avoid this by placing a pin every few inches. One of the most secure ways to hang your moving blanket directly onto the wall is to nail it into place.

Staple or tack the blanket along the back inside edge of the frame. Hang the canvas on parallel nails attached to wall studs or wall anchors. Install a curtain rod at the top of your wall then fold the end of a blanket over a dowel rod and stitch it together on the back or create a rod. Hang the blanket with nails if you are planning to leave it up for a while.
