How to Hang a Blanket as a Tapestry on the Wall :

  1. Give your blanket a quick press: Lay your woven tapestry blanket flat and lightly iron or steam it to smooth any creases. This makes your wall hanging tapestry art feel crisp and intentional.
  2. Decide on your hanging height: 

    Hold your blanket up against the wall (grab a friend to help you here) and decide where you'd like the top edge to sit so that it works with your interior decor.

    The woven blankets are 54 inches (137 cm) wide, but leave a 2-inch (5 cm) buffer on each side. That gives you a safe hanging zone of 50 inches (127 cm) across the top.

    Next, measure and mark the center point on your wall and this is where your middle clip will go. From that center mark (using a spirit-level):

    • Measure 25 inches (63.5 cm) to the left and mark the left clip
    • Measure 25 inches (63.5 cm) to the right and mark the right clip
  3. Drill the 3 holes :

    At each pencil mark, drill a pilot hole. Be sure to hold the drill straight and use the right drill bit here:

    • Drywall or plaster: Use a standard masonry or multi-purpose bit, and insert a plastic wall anchor if your screws aren't going into a stud.
    • Brick or concrete: Use a masonry drill bit and wall plugs made for heavier-duty hanging.
    • Wood: You can skip wall plugs and drill directly with a wood drill bit, but make sure you're not too close to the edge of any paneling.

    If you're unsure what you're working with, tap the wall. A hollow sound usually means drywall; a dull, solid thud usually means masonry. Drill to the depth needed for your anchor or screw.

  4. Insert the plastic wall anchor: The wall hanging clips come with plastic anchors that you can insert into the holes and ensure the screw is held firmly in place. This helps support the weight of your tapestry hanging over time.
  5. Mount the wooden blocks: Hold the wooden block against the wall and drive the screw through the center hole so it fixes firmly into the anchor/pilot hole. These stylish wooden blocks are perfect for a modern wall hanging look and are made from high-quality materials so they'll keep your blanket sturdy over time.
  6. Use a level before tightening: Place your spirit level on top of the wooden blocks. Adjust as needed so it sits perfectly straight, then tighten the screw fully. This will make sure your wall tapestry looks aligned with your room.
  7. Twist the bolt: Twist the bolt on the blanket hanger clip half way so it's attached. You'll tighten it fully after inserting the blanket. You've now created a stable structure for hanging art tapestries.
  8. Repeat for all 3 blocks.
