This wall tapestry is very easy to use. You can hang it on the wall of your room to decorate your space, or use it outdoors for a special event. When washing, just put it in the washing machine with cold water on a gentle cycle and use mild detergent. Then tumble dry it on low heat. Avoid using hot water or strong detergents as they may damage the colors and fabric. Also, don't wring it out forcefully after washing to keep the hand - sewn edges intact.
