Every once in a while I like to make things that I’m not used to and it feels so so good!
That’s why today’s tutorial is this beautiful wall hanging.
Ever since we finished our son’s nursery I knew something was missing. I knew I wanted to make something special just for him to hang on the wall and I think this Tassel/Macrame wall hanging matches perfectly with his room!
I love everything about this wall hanging, especially because it is SO EASY and quick to make!
It is a super versatile project, you can make it as big or small as you’d like, you can change the colors, the size of the tassels, pretty much everything is customizable.
Here is the list of materials I used to make this Boho Wall Hanging
Materials
- Tapestry Needle
- Scissors
- Clover Tassel Maker (or anything you have at home to make tassels)
- Wooden Beads (optional)
- Cotton Yarn (or any kind of yarn that you have in your stash!)
- Comb (optional)
- Wooden Dowel
Instructions:
In order to make this wall hanging there are a few things you need to know how to make and I think it will be easier for you to watch the video but I will try my best to explain the step by step 🙂
1- First you need to cut your dowel (depending on how long you want it to be. Mine measures 19″)
2- Then you have to decide the number of tassels you want (I made 11). Make sure to have an odd number of tassels in order to get that pointy look.
3- Once you have decided the number of tassels, make them all, decorate them with the wooden beads, and use your comb to fluff them up.
4- Now lay your dowel and the tassels on a flat surface and arrange them however you want them to be.
5- Once you have them how you like, make a knot in the top of each tassel to attach them later and make sure they are the length that you want.
6- Now you can attach them to your dowel (in the video I showed you how I did it). Make sure the knot is in the back of your dowel. If you don’t want them to move, you can always use glue to secure them on your dowel.
7- Next we have to make the macrame detail/string that I hang in mine (here you have to watch the video to learn how to make it). Remember that to have enough thread/yarn to make the knots, you need to cut your yarn 6 times longer than the length you want it to be (PER SIDE, so 12 times longer in total).
8- Once your macrame “string” is done, all you have to do is attach it to your wall hanging and you are all DONE!
