DIY natural wall hanger for tapestrycovered wire that looks like bark that was purchased at hobby lobbycovered wire that looks like wood

So about sixs months ago, I found this Great Wall hanging at my local GoodWill for less then $5.00 dollars. But I wasn't sure where I was going to hang it, one day I looked at this small wall and thought that's where it needs to hang. The issue was how am I going to hang it the tapestry is almost as wide as the wall is. Then when cleaning up my yard after a storm I was picking up some sticks and it hit me that's what I should use to hang my tapestry. Heres know I did it.
 1) cut the sticks as long as you want and fill down the edges
     I did mine with about 2" on each side
2) put the stick in the hanging pocket if your haning doesn't have one you can saw on on or use drapery clips, the stick acts as a drapery  bar
3) then I used  covered wire that looks like wood,wrapped it around one end, about 12" from the end I made a loop to then matched the space on the other side and wrapped it around the other end of the stick.


4) then I used wire cover moss and wrapped  it around the stick and up the first wire to the other side.

5) put nail in wall and hang to enjoy!


I picked up my supplies at Hobby Lobby but you can also get them at Joann's.
