I have preserved most of mine. One piece that I have memorializes the birthday of Queen Salote of Tonga and has the Tongan royal crest on it. She lived from 1918 to 1965.
I don't have a problem with people using their tapa cloth to decorate their businesses and homes. I like the look of it.
I live in an apartment so cementing tapa cloth to my walls is pretty much a no-go. Where it is displayed I use magnetic stick pins to hang it.
