now the technique I'm going to show you here I've been using for years and it works great for many quilts but also you can do it to larger quilts and hang them on the wall inside your home or in a bedroom anywhere and it works fine I've had a quilt hanging up on a wall now for several months and it hasn't come off so I'm gonna teach you how to do this super inexpensive and easy you have your made quilts let's set that aside and go over the other supplies here I have a tag board or cardboard you just need something that is paper but that has some stiffness to it okay so a little tag board something like this it's thin and this is just cardboard you can use the cardboard that comes in your pre-cut packs and in the back that helps keep everything kind of a little bit sturdier so just save whatever little cardboard you have all you're gonna need are like two really tiny little pieces anyways so some type of paper kind of stiff paper then you're gonna need some regular old Elmer's glue an iron and an ironing board and then the magic here are these command strips and they come in all different sizes and they'll even tell you how much they hold I've talked I've just put in a bunch of leftover ones from other packs in here but you can see that this one says it holds half of a pound these ones here they call them poster strips and they say they're for picture hanging so it doesn't have a set weight but I find that these are some of the most affordable ones I can you can even get these at the dollar store and they hold up perfect for mini quilts you can even use them on a bigger mini quilt than this you just don't want to put too much weight on it because obviously they're made to hold posters but we'll start off with these guys there's also ones that have like this velcro clip and these are the ones that I use when I'm hanging larger quilts in my house so the idea is that one side goes stuck on the wall and the other one goes stuck on the back of the quilt so that these two it's like hook and loop kind of and when you crunch them together they hold so this would be the quilt and this would be the wall and it would hold it up there and then if you're familiar with these command strips you just pull on here and it will peel it off of the wall and there's no damage to your wall so this is one of my favorite favorite ways to hand quilt it's quick easy inexpensive and I frankly don't have time to be sewing sleeves to the back of my quilt especially not to something this small I just want to put it up there and have it lay nice and flat on the wall so let me show you how it works the first thing you're gonna do is flip this over decide how you want to orient this and I think I'm going to hang it like this so I'll turn it here so I'm just gonna put you can even just do one but if you want to put one on each corner for your mini quilt that helps the corners lie nice and flat against the wall so it'll it'll be really flat against it so I'm gonna do one and two I'm gonna get my cardstock or I mean tag board or cardboard or whatever here and I'm just gonna cut out two little pieces you don't even have to measure I mean this is just a foundation for the back of the quilt so here are my two little pieces let me see if I move this I think I want to get like that so the idea is that I'm gonna put these two here okay and now you take your glue and you glue these guys down some of you who are not familiar with glue basting might be thinking there is no way I'm gonna put glue on my quilt trust me this glue if you're using the same as I am the Elmer's white glue here it's washable so if you ever decide to take it down from your wall just peel this paper off and just give the quilt a little wash but it's on the back side so you're not really gonna see it alright so I added glue there I put that down and now I'm gonna bring my iron and ironing board over and we're gonna set it just like we would do with a glue basting technique obviously you don't want to hold it there too long because it is paper but that is gonna set the glue on the backside of it so that this is not going to come off and I can see that my iron is a little dirty no big deal for this project alright so the same idea for the second one put a little glue doesn't need much set it in the other corner and I'm just gonna set it with a hot dry iron you don't want to add steam here because if we're using a paper product the moisture is going to make it buckle and wrinkle in all kinds of stuff okay so there we go we have those two corners set nothing is falling off now we're ready to install these command strips on and these little packs that I have here come with eight and if you're using these ones not the hook and loop ones that I showed you earlier if they're just the regular poster one thing you're only going to need two one for each one it has two little sticker like paper ones that need to be peeled off and you'll see that when you turn it over it tells you the wall side this one should go towards the wall so this is going to go towards the wall I know that I'm gonna peel off the red and white side and place it right there so this is sticky here and I'm just gonna place it close to the edge because I want those corners to hold nice and flat and I just put it there I leave a sticker on this side until I head over to my wall to place it right where I want it same thing for the other side I peel off one side flip it and here and notice I'm not measuring these don't have to be perfect when you stick it on the wall then you want to make sure that it's somewhat in up in a line but for right here it doesn't matter where it is so just keep in mind that when you're cutting out either the cardboard or tagboard piece that's the foundation for the little command strip it just needs to be a little bigger than the actual strip that you're using so if it's a longer one make sure that you cut out pieces that are long enough to cover the entire space where this is going to be stuck on all right so our little strips are in place now all we need to do is head over to the wall and place it exactly where we want it making sure that we peel these two little paper things off before we stick it to the wall and then after I stick it on I'll show you how it holds and I'll also show you how to take it down and take this apart so you can see that there will be no damage to the wall that I'm hanging it on or to the quilt all right so I have a spot right here on my wall with a couple of other minis that are around it and I think I'm gonna put this one right here somewhere okay so you can draw lines and you can put the laser thing and make sure that they're straight but because I'm gonna be kind of compiling a ton of minis on my studio wall here I don't think it really matters I'm just gonna kind of eyeball the distance from the other one eyeball a distance from here and place it wherever I want to this is meant to be a super quick and easy way to just get something on the wall so again we're just gonna peel the little paper off the back both of these and now we're ready to stick it wherever we stick it that's exactly where it's gonna fall so let me see and boom I just press right there and my mini quilts is nice and flat and on the wall is that easy or what all right so there it is and you can see that it's nice and secure even if I flap it like this it's not going anywhere so for a mini quilt even a big one like this I have this one on here using this the exact same technique and so are these they're all stuck on there you can see that for the little ones I kind of just go ahead and put two just like I did at the top if it's a bigger quilt than something like this then you may want to put some on the bottom corners as well that might come in handy but again if you're just decorating a space or doing something quick another option would be to prep the back of a mini quilt like this if you're doing a swap or giving one as a gift you can prep it and remember just leave the little back papers and that way the recipient will know you know obviously give them some instructions but you can tell them just peel a little paper backing and stick it wherever you want to all right so I think I've shown enough that that is stuck on there it's not going anywhere so now let me show you how to remove it alright so when you're ready to remove the quilt from wherever you had it all you need to do is come under here and access where the little arrow of the of the command strip is and I'm just gonna pull on it all the way all the way all the way and you see that it comes off the wall so there's no damage to the wall and the whole thing even came off of here so let me remove the other one I'm just peeling back that the little tag board piece so I can access this kind of foamy handle and you just pull straight down it just comes off so as you can see right there on the wall there's no damage to the wall there's no push pin holes nothing okay no hardware installed nothing like that so this now becomes garbage but then I'll show you all you need to do is peel this off and if any of the paper comes off and on the quilt remember that the glue is washable and because it's paper you just have to give this a quick wash and everything will come off now for me because I just install this one I can see that the glue is still even a little bit wet so that's kind of why it's kind of the papers coming off of it but again the glue is washable the paper or cardboard is going to be washable so once you give this a good wash you're not gonna have any damage to the quilt because there's no holes you didn't have to install any hardware it's just some paper and some washable glue and now because I wanted to show you the complete process from hanging it up taking it down and seeing that there's no damage to your quilt I wouldn't sign my house and I just wet this corners here and rubbed off the remaining paper and glue and I just kind of squeezed out these two corners so you can see that this has shrunk a little bit uh compared to the bottom corner because I didn't pre wash my fabric so I did want you to see that so you can see that I actually wet it I rubbed off the remaining paper rinsed off as best I could I just kind of just ran it under the kitchen sink just a little faucet right there and then I just let it dry out a little bit so I'm gonna hit it with an iron to finish yeah it's pretty dry just to get some of those wrinkles out from me wringing out the corners but if this was a bigger quilt you could just pop it in the wash and the dryer the entire thing but I just wanted to show you that so you can see that there's no damage there's no residue there's no holes in the quilts or anything like that and as you saw earlier there was no damage to the wall either so now I'm gonna go ahead and do the whole thing again because I definitely want to hang this on my wall so real quickly I'm gonna prep this and if you feel unsafe maybe about hitting the iron right there on the paper you can always add some fabric on top first some type of a pressing cloth which is fine and then set let's head back to the wall so I can stick it right where I want it and there it is my foolproof and inexpensive way to hang your mini quilts on the wall and
