DIY Boho Yarn Wall Hanging
Materials
Yarn – 2 different colors (I used white and tan)
Scissors
Colored wooden beads
Round wire frame or craft wire – 26 gauge
Craft wire – 16 gauge
Craft pliers – looping pliers and cutting pliers
Tapestry needle (AKA large-eye blunt needle)
Directions
1. You can either use a store-bought round base frame or make one from craft wire. I used a 26 gauge golden craft wire to create a simple round base frame for the wall hanging. I created a twirl pattern at one end and kept the other end intact.
2. After forming the round base use a 16 gauge wire to join the open ends and form the frame. Simply overlap a small length of both open ends and coil the 16 gauge wire around the joint parts.
3. Determine the length of the wall hanging and cut out yarn strands according to the determined measurement; I used 2 different colored yarns.
4. Take the base frame and 2 strands of yarn, this will be group one of the yarn strands. Fold the group of yarn strands in half and draw the closed end under the base frame. Keep the open ends of the yarn strands inside the base frame and draw the closed end outside the base frame.
5. Take the open ends of the yarn strands and draw it over the base frame and then draw them through the loop (closed end) of the yarn.
6. Pull the open ends of the yarn to tighten it and form a knot with the frame.
7. Similarly attach the rest of the cut out yarn strands. Take 2 strands of yarn each time.
8. Use scissors to trim the open ends of the attached yarn strands. You can trim the open ends however you wish; I created a simple triangular edge.
9. Now take single yarn strands and prepare it with a tapestry needle. Also select a colored wooden bead.
10. Thread the bead into the yarn strands through the tapestry needle.
11. Now insert the needle into the bead again through the opposite direction of the previous threading.
12. Hold both open ends of the yarn and pull them closer to the bead. Pull until the bead is closed on both ends.
13. Now fold the beaded yarn strands in half.
14. Now attach the beaded yarn strands with the frame like we’ve attached the previous yarn strands. Similarly attach more beaded yarn strands to the frame. Make sure to bead the strands at different lengths for a nice pattern.
15. Once again, trim the open ends of the yarn strands to level them with the previous strands.
Then you’re done with your DIY boho yarn wall hanging! Hang it, and enjoy!
