How to Get Wrinkles out of a Tapestry?

Like any fabric, wall hangings can wrinkle during delivery or show creases after cleaning. These wrinkles usually disappear once you hang your wall hanging on the wall and it is tight, using the Velcro method for example.

However, if you have decided to hang your hanging using a curtain rod or clothespins, it will hang more loosely, and in this case, you will need to get rid of those wrinkles before hanging it on your wall.

So here are some simple techniques to help you smooth out your wall hanging without damaging it.

Our techniques to Get Wrinkles out of Tapestry

• Technique #1:

• Technique #2:

To remove wrinkles from your hanging, you can weight the bottom of the hanging with magnets. This will make your hanging tighter and the wrinkles will disappear.
