Hello ,

I'm framing pretty big blanket with fringes on top and on the bottom
Is anyway to make top fringes vertical?
Some kind of glue, or gel. You see on the picture how the fringes look and they are about 1 1/2 long..

Any idea?
Thank you

THank you , How would you use tulle to keep fringes up? Just curious. Also I"m going to use acrylic because this piece is about 66 inches tall by 48 wide.
Static of acrylic may keep them up ... what do you think?

Thank you
 
When you pick the right color of tulle, you use it over the fringes and it almost disappears. It is somewhat visible, but not a lot. However, I use that when there is more fringe. It might be visible in your project

Are you putting the acrylic right on top of this? If so, that would hold it in place. If there is a spacer or mat, there might be still room for the fringe to move
 
We did this rug one time with horizontal fringe.
With the horizontal fringe, both sides had to be attached or supported.
We cut and shaped plexi pieces and flame polished the edges.
The pieces were tied down and then the whole thing went into a plexi box.
We had the equipment on hand to cut and shape and flame polish the plexi.
I have only done this once like this.:cool:

Thread 'Rug with fringe in Plexi Box'

So we had the job of putting this rug in a Plexi Box horizontally with the fringe splayed out on the sides.
The rug was floated on a silk covered strainer.

I sewed the rug down, couldn't use the Attach EZ because it would show.
The customer wanted the fringe splayed out to the sides.

I just did another rug with fringe recently and I had to sew and sew and sew the fringe out to the sides without making it look like it was all stitched down.

This new rug had tons and tons more of fringe and it looked like a sewing nightmare.
At home, I don't even sew a button on but at work, It's another...

Thank you.
My concern is: when I put acrylic with spacers , the static of the acrylic will mess with my fringes. How would you discharge the static of acrylic?
 
I've recently framed a couple of smaller oriental rugs with fringe. I cut an opening in the backing that the rug would sit in, then used an afro pick to straighten the fringe. Acrylic went on the top and the pressure kept everything in place. It's basically a direct contact overlay. No need for anything to support rug or fringe.
