I am going to share my "simplified" scarf hanging system. This little project took me less than 45 minutes (I believe).
The scarf will be
flat against the wall using this method. Alternatively it can be raised as well using the same magnet system but we will leave that for another post next time.
MATERIALS REQUIRED:
1. Blue Painter's tape - ~ $7
This is mainly used for aligning the scarf at the position you want against the wall. Since I am doing this alone, this tape has helped tremendously to tape the scarf on the wall for me to eyeball the position I want against the wall and also for me to mark the center and corners of the scarf.
2. 1/2" diameter x 1/16" thick Disc Magnets - 10 pairs (20 pieces total) - ~$15
For this particular project, I use 10 pairs (20 magnets) total to hang the scarf fairly square. You could use more but a minimum of 10 pairs is needed to get a good square shape.
Magnets can be ordered here. It is free shipping.

Notice the ones I bought have adhesive included on the back side of the magnets.
After I bought this, I realize the adhesive is VERY thin and does not work well on the plaster wall at all so I suggest to get those without the adhesive instead like these so that you don't have to spend time peeling off the adhesive like I did.

3. 3M Damage-Free Command Removable Small Poster Strips - $2.50 approximately

SETUP PROCEDURES:
1. Run the blue tape horizontally against the wall to mark where you want the top of the scarf to be.
2. Then tape the top edge of the scarf along this horizontal strip as shown here in this picture.
Check if you like the position of the scarf. If not re-adjust your tape accordingly until you find the position you like. You may need to use a leveler by downloading the leveler app to make sure the scarf is level. I did not do this at all. I was just eyeballing everything.
3. Mark the center and the 2 corners where the top of the scarf will be on the horizontal tape.
4. Affix one magnet on to the 3M poster strip. Make sure the magnet is as close to the straight edge of the strip as possible as shown on the picture below.
Next apply the strip/magnet to the top center. When applying, make sure the center of the disc magnet is on the centerline you have marked on the blue tape. Also ensure the 3M pull arrow is pointing downwards. You want to press down on the entire poster strip to ensure it is sticking well to the wall. Now you can start hanging the top center of the scarf on this magnet and this scarf will help to guide you on placing the rest of the 9 poster strips.
Continue to work on the 2 top corners with the 3M poster strip arrow pointing downward as well. Then work on the intermittent space between the center and the corners. You should have a total of 5 magnets here when completed.
5. Continue working on the bottom of the scarf. Place the blue tape on the bottom of the scarf to help you guide where the bottom will be. Use a leveler to make sure the line is straight.
Place the magnet strip on to the bottom center first and then continue to work on the the 2 outside corners. Ensure the poster strip arrow points left/right or upward as shown.
6. Then work on the 2 sides.
The finish product will look like this that costs less than $30.
Hope this helps. Thank you.
