Hanging a quilt on a wall sounds straightforward, but there are many different things to keep in mind. You might want to hang a quilt for decoration purposes, or perhaps your quilt has gotten wet and you need to try it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Things First: How To Measure Your Quilt<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before you can begin hanging your quilt, you first have to measure it. This is an important step because if you don’t do this correctly, then you could end up having problems later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get started, you’ll need to find a flat surface that’s at least 8 feet long (2.5 meters). If you don’t have one of these available, you’ll be able to use a piece of cardboard instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, lay down your quilt so that you can see both sides. Then, take a tape measure and start measuring from the top edge to the bottom edge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure to mark each measurement as you go along. Once you’re done, write down the measurements on a piece of paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you’ve measured your quilt, you’ll need to decide how high you’d like to hang it. The most common height is between 3 and 5 ft (1 and 1.5 meters), but you may prefer something higher or lower depending on what kind of look you’re trying to achieve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if you’re looking to create a more modern look, then you might choose to hang your quilt at 4 ft (1.25 meters) while if you’re looking to add some color to your room, you might choose to go with a higher option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you’ve decided on the height, you’ll next need to figure out where you want to put your hooks. There are two main options here: either you can put them directly under the quilt, or you can put them above the quilt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you plan on putting your hooks directly under the quilt then you’ll just need to cut off any excess fabric to ensure that they fit underneath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you plan on placing your hooks above the quilt, then you will need to account for the fact that your quilt won’t sit perfectly flush against the wall. Instead, you’ll need to leave a gap of approximately 2 inches (5 cm) on each side of the quilt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re still unsure which method you should use, then you can always ask someone who knows about quilts for advice. They’ll be able to tell you whether or not you should opt for one method over another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step By Step Guide: How To Hang A Quilt On The Wall<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Step<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Follow our step-by-step guide below to hang your quilt on a wall! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1 – Placing Hooks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now that you’ve figured out how tall you want your quilt to be, you’ll need to think about where you want to put the hooks. If you plan on using the same type of hook throughout, then you’ll probably want to buy them online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Otherwise, you’ll need to search for somewhere local that sells hooks. You can check out our guide on how to buy a hook for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2 – Prepare Your Quilt<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Next, you’ll need to prepare your quilt. Depending on the size of your quilt, you may need to hem it before you begin. Hemming involves cutting off the excess fabric at the edges of the quilt and folding<\/a> it back into itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This ensures that there aren’t any loose threads or uneven seams. It’s a good idea to practice this technique on a smaller version of your quilt first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3 – Prepare Your Wall<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once you’ve hemmed your quilt, you can now move on to preparing your wall. Before you begin, you’ll need to cover the area where you’re planning to hang your quilt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means covering up any holes or cracks that could cause water damage. Also, make sure that you remove any paint or wallpaper that’s already present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4 – Attach Hooks To Wall<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once you’ve prepared everything, you’ll need to attach the hooks to the wall. First, you’ll need to drill small holes through the wall and into the hooks themselves. These will allow the screws to pass through without causing too much damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After you’ve drilled the holes, you’ll need to screw the hooks into place. You can do this using an electric screwdriver or even a hammer and nails. Be careful when using tools such as hammers because they can easily break things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5 – Finishing Touches<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you’ve finished hanging your quilt, you should also consider adding a few finishing touches. For example, you might like to add some decorative tassels to your quilt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tassels are essentially strings of beads that tie together all four corners of your quilt<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So there you have it! Hanging a quilt on a wall isn’t the most difficult process in the world, but there are a few things you need to keep in mind before you get started, just so that you can be sure everything goes smoothly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
