How To Hang A Tapestry In A Dorm Room

When I moved into my dorm room, I knew I wanted to make it feel like home. One of the first things I did was hang a tapestry on my wall. It added color and personality to my room, and it was a great way to cover up the boring white walls. However, I quickly realized that hanging a tapestry in a dorm room can be a bit tricky. After some trial and error, I figured out the best way to do it. Here are my tips for hanging a tapestry in a dorm room.

Step-by-step guide

Step 1: Choose the right tapestry

Before you start hanging your tapestry, make sure you have the right one. Look for a tapestry that is lightweight and easy to hang. You don’t want something that is too heavy or bulky, as it will be difficult to hang and could potentially damage your walls.

Step 2: Choose the right spot

Decide where you want to hang your tapestry. Find a spot that is visible and will add some color and personality to your room. Make sure you measure the area before you start hanging your tapestry.

Step 3: Gather your materials

You will need a few things to hang your tapestry: command strips, a level, a measuring tape, and possibly a hammer and nails if the command strips don’t work.

Step 4: Prepare the wall

Clean the area where you want to hang your tapestry. Make sure it is dry and free of any dust or debris. This will help the command strips adhere better.

Step 5: Hang the tapestry

Attach the command strips to the back of the tapestry. Use a level to make sure it is straight, then press it firmly onto the wall. If the command strips don’t work, you may need to use a hammer and nails. Be careful not to damage the wall.
