To use this wall tapestry, you can hang it on your wall indoors to decorate your living room, bedroom, or dorm. Or you can take it outdoors for a picnic or to spruce up your patio. When it gets dirty, just toss it in the washing machine. Use cold water and select the gentle cycle, then add some mild detergent. After washing, put it in the dryer on low heat. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals as they may damage the colors and fabric. Also, don't wring it out forcefully to keep the hand - sewn edges intact.
