wall-hanging material? (1 Viewer)

[xazxncutiex]

hey all, just need a little help here as i am doing a wallhanging for my major. i got everything sorted out, like what techniques im gonna use but the thing is i have no idea what kind of backing i shud use for my wall hanging. what materials do you guys suggest that is durable but also something that i can use to put decoration on. i was thinking of making my own backing by using felt however i dont think it can really support, maybe i could use interfacing for it to stay stiff, and give it dimensional stability.
Anyway, any advice is welcome.

Hey I did a wall hanging for my major last year and i used calico as a base material for my backing before i put black satin over the top - that i stiffened a bit using interfacing - i know the satin sounds a bit weird but it fitted with my design and it worked for me - hope this is some sort of help to you.

Hey

I did a wallhanging for a project in year 11 and i used calico as the backing material and tye-dyed it to fit in with my design. Just use interfacing to stiffen it.
