A tapestry with a sleeve or pocket to accommodate a flat board may be hung directly against the wall.

Slide the board into the pocket. Choose a smooth sanded board about 2 inches shorter than the tapestry. Insert the rod through the rod pocket in back of the tapestry and secure the rod in the brackets. Iron the tapestry if needed.

The second piece should be at least an inch higher in height to the previous. Install the rod brackets at the desired location.
