Create Wall Hangings from Old Rugs

Select the Rug

Choose an old rug that is clean and in good condition. The rug should have a pattern or texture that you find aesthetically pleasing for a wall hanging.

Clean the Rug

Vacuum the rug thoroughly to remove any dust and dirt. If necessary, wash the rug following the manufacturer's cleaning recommendations.

Prepare the Rug for Hanging

If the rug has frayed edges, trim or hem them for a clean finish. Optionally, you can sew a rod pocket at the back of the rug.

Attach Hanging Mechanism

Attach rug clamps, sturdy adhesive strips, or a curtain rod and brackets to the rug for hanging. Ensure the method you select can support the rug's weight.

Mount the Rug

Securely attach the rug to the wall using appropriate wall anchors or hooks. Double-check that the rug is level and adjust as needed.
