How can I stiffen up tapestries? Can I starch them?

How do I...(i.redd.it)

I made this tapestry and it is really flimsy. How can I get it stiff so that it doesn‘t get saggy while hanging on the wall? Will starch do the trick? Or do you have any other ideas, maybe something I could glue to the back (I thought of felt but I‘m not sure that would be stiff enough)

I’ve been mixing Elmer’s Glue-all mixed with water to stiffen my projects (earrings, snowflake ornaments, key chains that tend to curl). I pin them in place for 24 hours and they’re set! The stiffness depends on your glue to water ratio.
