# How to Make Your Own Fabric Starch for Wall Hangings
Fabric starch is used to give fabric wall hangings a neat and even hang. It prevents the fabric from wrinkling and even gives it some extra weight. Use fabric starch on fabric wall scrolls, tapestries and on other wall hangings to increase their visual appeal and their professional appearance. While you can purchase spray starch, you can also make it yourself using household products.
