I have a red hartebeest rug with felt backing. I had it hung over a rail in the last house. Looking to hang on the wall. What is the best method to hang it?

If you're hanging it on sheetrock or wood, buy 3/4" round-headed upholstery tacks.

If you can't find black tacks, just buy a can of flat black paint, stick the tacks in a hunk of styrofoam or cardboard and spray the heads. Do at least two or three coats. That's what I had to do since I could only locate antique brass tacks.

I put them in about 8" apart, thus needed no other rings or anything to hang the rug. You will need another hand or two to get it done, however.

Had not thought of the upholstery tacks. Thanks

Nice look Zebra

My zebra rug has black felt lining, I just used some dark brown thumb tacks, one about every 6 inches. ( couldn't find black at the store ). I have it on the floor now, but it hung fine for about 10 years.

I ALMOST used thumbtacks, but after sticking one through the felt and seeing what was left to go into the sheetrock, I decided to go with the longer upholstery tacks.

I do have standard thumbtacks holding up a much lighter bobcat rug, though.
