How to hang a handmade rug.

We recommend that you still clean your hanging rug every few months using a vacuum attachment. Use measuring tape to determine the width and length of rug as well as the available wall space along which it will hang. The second method of hanging an area rug on the wall involves the use of a curtain rod. Mine was thin and weighed around 5 10 lbs.

If your rug is thick and very heavy this method may not be the best way to go. Don t use raw wood or un coated metals like nails to hang your rug over time this will also damage your rug. Stay away from sticky adhesives. A nail hanging rug would pull itself apart.

A heavy cotton casing may be sewn onto the back of the rug again this should be hand sewn if hanging a handmade or antique rug to form a tube through which the curtain rod may be inserted. The rug should slip easily onto the hooks and rest securely on the wall. If you are attaching the hooks to studs you may need to sew multiple canvas strips into the back of your rug leaving a small exposed space for the rod to rest on the hook since the hooks may not be at the end of the rod. Just choose a heavier anchor size for the weight of your rug.

Once you re prepared.
