Here are a few tips on how to care and enjoy your new tapestry.

How should I hang my tapestry?

All our tapestries are finished with a secondary backing. On the back of your tapestry, you will find a sleeve or rod pocket running the width of your tapestry. This is sewn in to accept a rod or dowel, which should be securely mounted to your wall with appropriate brackets.

Follow the accompanying directions and install as you would any standard drapery rod.

HANGING
There are two ways to hang tapestries:

a) Wooden Dowel: A quick and easy way is to cut a length of round wooden dowel slightly longer than the rod pocket. Insert small cup-hooks into each end and simply place them over small picture hook nails or any other fastening system. This is quick, easy and cheap.

b) Decorative Rods: Purchase an extendable metal rod with finials (decorative ends). Use the brackets provided for the tapestry to hang off the wall. For flush mounting, hang the rod over two picture hanging brackets hammering the nails at a 45-degree angle.

Elegant & Stunning Designer look: Show off your Tapestry and your designer skills by adding a pair of Corded tassels to either end of the tapestries to blend in and complement your existing decor.

NB: Always test a small section of the tapestry for the correct heat setting before ironing. We accept no claims or liability for any instructions given below.

Lay the tapestry on an ironing board or anything soft with a stiff backing with the tapestry back on the top 2. Place a soft cloth (muslin cloth or similar) along the crease 3. Carefully and gently steam iron the crease.

2. Unfinished tapestries:

To remove the creases:

1. Lay the tapestry on an ironing board or anything soft with a stiff backing with its back facing up

2. Place a soft cloth (muslin cloth or similar) 3. Carefully and gently iron the crease. Steam ironing is not recommended, however for very stubborn creases you use a steam iron.

3. Unlike a framed print, your new tapestries may not be perfectly square. The beauty of our tapestries is that they are individually woven on a loom and like any custom work may have some natural irregularities to retain the beauty and elegance of your tapestry. To help the tapestry hang better, we recommend using a steam iron to lightly iron your tapestries and flatten the ends on receipt.
