Creating Or Buying The Quilt Wall Hanger Right For Your Design

By Kristen Baird


Unless you get the full image of and entire piece of art, you cannot grasp the totality of its look. For artists, the need to see their final output is necessary not only for satisfaction purposes but also for professionalism. Any final check before presenting it in front of the public should be done with the full image in view.

Whether the quilt is for personal use or for an entry in a competition, you need to have a material that will make sure people can see it. Having a quilt wall hanger is the best option to do this. The good thing is, you can personalize this so that its color blends well with the design of your quilt.

For those who want to personalize their own, the basic thing that you need to provide is the width of the design. Measure it well and secure a cloth. Cut a portion of that cloth that corresponds to the measurement that you have gotten. Attach it to the end of the piece by stitching. Get a hold of the other end and join it together with the other edge. A circular portion or a space will then be created.

Next, secure a rod and insert it on the available space. This should be able to carry the weight of the piece when you hang it later on. Choose a material that is durable enough to hold the material.

Then, choose the hanger. Some would go for the simplest one, something that only requires nails. With two nails of the same level, you can immediately place the rod atop it and the whole piece will then hang. There are commercial hangers however that are better looking and are affordable in price.

Whether you buy or create your own, what matters most is your purpose for it. Buying will allow you to get access to hangers with clean designs. Creating your own will save you money. Either which is good depending on you preference. Know what you need and go for it. Of course, consider your budget as well. Making your own without spending is better if you do not wish to spend any penny for the project.

If you buy, take time to at least think of the design. You are paying for it. Might as well maximize the amount you spent by getting the one that looks appealing. For competitions, this matters a lot considering that every element of the material will be examined. Choosing a hanger that looks good with your quilt on it is a good choice.

Lastly, consider the manufacturer of the product. A trusted manufacturer is sure to give you satisfaction on your purchase. They can even offer you tips on how to maximize the use of the material of what type suits your design well. There are many of them, but not everyone offers quality service. Be choosy.

You can never underestimate what a simple material can do to the whole craft. Just like how a simple black dot can be so noticeable against a white, wide background, a small part of the art can ruin or win it. Go for the winning side.
