Customers' comments: DIY! How to decorate and hang Persian carpets on the wall
Customer testimonials
Decorations in the hallway. It's difficult to see from a distance because there's not much distance, but it's nice to be able to feel the soft silk carpet every time you pass by (◠‿◠)♪
It's fun to see how the colors change dramatically depending on the angle you look at it from. I think this design is a magnificent work of art. I could stare at it forever. Thank you for the wonderful carpet.
It's not framed, so I'll send you some pictures of the work in progress and the whiteboard I used at the 100 yen shop.
Since the width of the carpet was almost exactly the same as the board, we stacked two pieces to a thickness of 10mm and placed them on the baseboard, using 5 pieces x 2 = 10 pieces to cut the height up to the ceiling height.
I glued the polystyrene pieces together in pairs with glue and connected them with tape, then bought wallpaper with the same pattern as the wallpaper and pasted it on top, then secured it to the wall with thin nails.
I cut off 5 pieces of 450mm each, a height of just 225mm. The carpet is quite heavy, so it sags forward, so I had to secure it to the wall with nails. The nails were 16mm.
The wallpaper covers the sides and is cut to fit the wall. (The pins visible on the surface are temporary fasteners.) My biggest concern was how to secure the carpet. I used Ray double-sided tape, sticking it firmly both vertically and horizontally.
Without this, I might have had to use thumb tacks...!? After that, I trimmed both ends, fixed it on double-sided tape, and covered it with a surface film to prevent it from getting dirty.
I can touch the carpet surface with my hands, and it's not as ostentatious as framing, so I'm pretty happy with how it looks on the wall (^^)v! 10 panels cost 1,000 yen, and about 2.5m of wallpaper? How much was it? Glue for styrofoam was 100 yen, and the wallpaper was made with dissolved wood glue... Nails were about 200 yen... The double-sided tape from Ray is a bit pricey... a few thousand yen? Probably less than 10,000 yen. Maybe over 5,000 yen...? It takes time, a bit of carpentry knowledge, and a determination to do something about it...
Now I can touch and look at a nice carpet every day, which is great! It was a lot of work! It's an amateur job, but I hope it's helpful (◠‿◠)
