how to hangawall cloth on a cement block wall
Not quite sure what you are asking, is it a cloth like a dish towel on a hook or a much larger item like a framed cloth picture.
Here is a general way to mount items on a cinder block wall:
Masonry and ConcretePlastic anchors or special hardened masonry nails are your best bet for attaching to these hard materials. Use a special carbide tipped masonry drill bit to predrill a hole for the fastener (a hammer drill does the job much faster and easier). Drill a smaller pilot hole first, then switch to a larger size bit to finish the job.
You can find the masonry nails and anchors at local hardware stores, big box stores like Home Depot or Lowes.
If it’s not too too heavy you might be able to do it with command hooks.
How large your how heavy is your fabric? Command hooks or double sided foam tape might be considered if it’s painted cement?
Some more information could be helpful.
You can use command hooks or if you want to drill into the wall, you can use a mansonry bit.
just use command hooks unless you want to drill in the wall and add permanent hooks

Hot Glue Gun
Sticky or Blu Tack
Display Strips
If it's large and heavy, you may need to use a masonry drill bit for hangers.
Hi Connie, if your cloth is large and heavy, hammer a few nails into a strip of wood that's as long as your cloth. Screw the nailed strip to the wall with the nails facing outwards and then you the cloth on the nails.
Command hooks
You need special hangers or anchors for drilling through concrete. But you can get them at your building supply store.
How much 'cloth' are you hoping to hang on the concrete wall?
What are the dimensions of the piece, what type of fabric is the cloth, and how heavy is it? What are you hoping to achieve by hanging the cloth? Are you wanting simply to 'hide' the concrete underneath, are you wanting to add some insulation to the room?
Please share some details of you situation so that we can offer you some suggestions that are more helpful.
It depends on what the fabric is and how heavy it is as others have said. However, I've used heavy duty sticky velcro to hang fabric before...if the fabric isn't too heavy it works like a charm and sticks for years.
Maybe you could suspend a rod from the ceiling to hang the fabric on.
What is the ceiling made out of? Can you use some thin wire to hold the cloth and connect that wire to the ceiling?
Command hooks
I think it's going to depend a lot on how large and heavy the cloth is. Can you maybe put some hooks in the ceiling and hang it from there?
It depends on how heavy it is. If it is not that heavy, then command hooks will just work.
