This was Tuesday’s project. No, not the quilt, but hanging the quilt.
A while back I purchased a few things to get me started.
- 2 packages of craft magnets — these I got from Harbor Freight. They are really strong. Any closer to each other and they connect.
- metal braces. I’m sure they have a name. Picked these up from either Lowe’s or Home Depot. They are thin, and about 12″ long and 1 1/4″ wide. I bought 3 but only used 2
- 1 package of Command Brand Medium Refill Strips — this package contained 9 and I used 4.
- 1 Wide Pocket Rod with Adjustable Clearance — basically, this is a lightweight FLAT curtain rod Mine is about 2 1/2″ wide and adjusts in length from 28″ – 48″.
I started with a quilt which already had a hanging pocket attached. I measured the width – in my case 35″ and decided that I only needed two of my metal braces.
Following the package instructions, I attached the 3M strips to the braces and then put them on the wall. They aren’t perfectly straight, but that’s OK. I put two magnets on each brace.
I adjusted the rod to length and slid it into my hanging pocket with the flat side of the rod to the wall.
Finally, I hung the quilt, adjusting it as needed.
