Supplies:

1. Cut two strips of striped fabric 7"x 54" and two strips 7"x 35", centering desired stripes. These pieces will create the "frame" for around the wall hanging.

    

2. Use a 45 degree angle to cut the ends of each strip in order to miter the corners. Pin angled ends together, carefully matching the stripes, forming the "frame". Sew corners starting at the outside edge and ending stitching 1/2" from center of frame. Press 1/2" seam allowance along inside of "frame" on all four edges.

    

3. Center "frame" over the botanical tapestry and pin pressed 1/2" seam allowance in place. Stitch. Add moss edging and braid.

    

4. For the tabs: cut one piece of the striped fabric 8" x 50". Cut this into five 8"x 10" pieces.

    

5. Center an 8"x 10" piece of Heat-n-Bond in the middle of each piece, fold in edges and press.

    

6. For tab bottom: cut one strip of contrasting striped fabric 2-1/2" x 20" and cut into five 2- 1/2" x 4" pieces. Place a 2-1/2"x 4" piece of Heat-n-Bond along one edge of contrasting piece, fold over and press.

    

7. Fold tab in half and pleat the bottom. Wrap contrasting piece around the bottom of tab and stitch or use Heat-n-Bond to hold in place.

    

8. Pin the tabs along the top of the wall hanging spacing evenly. Cut solid backing fabric to fit the finished front of the wall hanging adding 1/2" all the way around for seam allowances.

    

9. Pin back to front, right sides together. Stitch along edges starting at the bottom of the wall hanging and continuing around leaving a 12" opening at the bottom for turning. Trim inside corner seams and turn right side out. Press and stitch or fuse opening closed. Hang from decorator drapery rod and embellish with tassels.
