Two methods to hang your wall hanging
Hanging a wall hanging can be a tedious task, especially when it is a thick and heavy wallpaper. To make it easier for you, most of our wall hangings are made of a cotton and polyester blend to create a lightweight, durable and tear-resistant fabric.
The quick and easy way to attach a wall hanging at a low price
The quickest and easiest way to hang your wall hanging is with tacks or small nails, provided your wall is not made of concrete (if it is, opt for a no-hole fixing method). This technique is very useful to hang your wall hanging quickly and easily, while leaving you the possibility to change its place whenever you want.
Depending on the size of your hanging, you will need to use four, six or eight tacks or nails. The more tacks you use, the less likely it is that your hanging will stretch between the different attachment points. A tip to prevent the top part from curling is to glue a wooden or plastic rod to the back of your hanging to stiffen this area.
Hang a wall hanging without making a hole in the wall
If you can't make a hole in your wall to hang your wall hanging (concrete wall, owner who is picky about the condition of the walls...), the solution is to use double-sided tape. In order to guarantee a long-lasting hold of the hanging, it is preferable to unroll a strip of double-sided tape all along the four sides of the fabric. Double-sided tape is the best way to hang a hanging without holes, tacks or drilling.
I needed a fun little tabletop clock for my workspace. I wanted something modern and a little unusual. I considered a Swiss Railway Clock design, however, they were all very exclusive and overpriced. In my search, this interesting similar clock popped up. It's way more interesting than other designs I was seeing, especially with its squiggly, red, smooth running second hand. It doesn't jerk and click like so many many quartz clock models. It is the perfect size, not overwhelming my work table. It's very solid!
