I would like to make a collage.?

Question

It will be used as a wallhanging and will need to be 5' long by 3' wide. I would like to know what would be the best material to use for the backing. I will be using various textiles, wool, felt and so on and will probably hang it from a rail. I would appreciate any advice please. If anyone knows of books on the subject, this information too would be appreciated.

Answer 1

I agree Canvas!  Its durable and cheap.

You can get it at most all craft stores.

I don't know of any books...but if you choose canvas there is probably books on how to frame canvas.

GOOD LUCK

Canvas or heavy duty calico which would be easier to sew into if sewn items are part of your collage.
