Using push pins against your college’s regulations can result in fees. Push pins work best with tapestries made of light fabrics.
Cork also works well with push pins, though having a wall made entirely of cork is unlikely.
Push down hard on the pin with your thumb to secure it in the wall. Reposition the push pins as you work if you miscalculated the distance of the tapestry.
If you wall adhesive strips are not double-sided, a wood glue to glue the clothespins to the strips. If the wall adhesive strips are too large, cut them to size with scissors before gluing.
If your tapestry is large, purchase and attach 3 clothespins to the wall—one on both ends and one in the middle.
If you need to re-apply the clothespins, you may need to replace the wall adhesive strips. Some lose their sticking properties each time they are removed to the wall. The clothespin method is best for thin tapestries–thicker ones might not stay as tightly clamped.
Measure your tapestry beforehand so you know how far apart to align the velcro strips.
Pick a simple curtain rod so it does not take attention away from the tapestry.
Measure the length of the curtain rod so you know how far apart to space the wall hooks.
