Quilt Hangers
Art In A Pinch quilt hangers use compression to securely display quilts without puncturing fabric. Handmade from solid wood in Minnesota, they come in sizes 18-96 inches with finishes like oak or walnut. Ideal for preserving heirlooms, these hangers distribute pressure evenly to prevent damage while maintaining a sleek, invisible profile on walls.
Rug Hangers
Designed for thick rugs up to 0.75 inches compressed, these hangers feature reinforced knobs and keyhole slots for wall stability. Available in custom lengths and unfinished options, they accommodate heavy textiles like Navajo rugs or Pendleton blankets. The compression system avoids stress points that damage fibers over time.
Custom Hangers
Custom-sized hangers match unique textile dimensions, with options for specialty woods like maple or pine. Ideal for oversized pieces or irregular thicknesses, these hangers include muslin lining to protect delicate fabrics. Production takes 2-4 weeks, ensuring precise craftsmanship for challenging display needs.
Unfinished Hangers
Unfinished oak or maple hangers let customers apply custom stains or paints. Designed for woodworkers or artisans, these blanks include detailed instructions for finishing. They require 2 weeks lead time and are ideal for matching existing decor or creating bespoke display solutions.
Textile Accessories
Complementary products include natural muslin wraps, drywall anchors, and long screws for thick textiles. These accessories enhance hanger functionality by protecting fabrics from chemicals or adding reinforcement for heavy items. Sold separately, they ensure proper installation and longevity of displayed pieces.
