I attached them to the wall with Velcro picture hanging tabs both on the foam and the wall. I can detach and work in any room I want. I then bought another sheet and covered smaller rectangles and carry them wherever I go with my small projects.

Every once in a while I need to clean it, so use tape wrapped around one hand, to remove the stray threads that love to cling to the surface. The insulation came in an 8' sheet, so I shared it with a friend for her to have a design wall too.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04472013513744969837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302795604445041453.post-64379725813548531562016-09-12T15:28:25.111-06:002016-09-12T15:28:25.111-06:00Absolutely beautiful and creative pieces.Absolutely beautiful and creative pieces.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302795604445041453.post-40365290932435781622016-07-01T19:17:40.076-06:002016-07-01T19:17:40.076-06:00I'm sorry I didn't submit this myself (it&...I'm sorry I didn't submit this myself (it's getting difficult to keep track of all the social media 'places' I should be posting on) but I'm thrilled that Susan Purney Mark shared this on Facebook and that you saw it!<br /><br />Our exhibit opened today, with a new attendance record set for the number of people visiting the gallery!
