Step-by-step instructions for making a Boho wall hanging

1. Choose your materials:

For your Boho wall hanging, you'll need some supplies such as a wooden dowel or driftwood, various colors of yarn, fabric scraps, feathers, beads, and shells.

2. Measure and cut your yarn:

Take the length of the yarn that you want to use and measure it according to the size of your wall hanging. Cut your yarn, allowing a few inches extra at each end for knots.

3. Knot the yarn:

Take your yarn strands and knot them onto the dowel or driftwood, ensuring that they are evenly spaced. Be sure to use multiple yarn colors to create a vibrant and playful design.

4. Add fabric scraps:

Cut small pieces of fabric in various shapes and sizes, then knot them onto the yarn strands to add a playful touch. The scraps can be made from old clothes or unused fabric that you may have.

5. Attach beads and feathers:

Thread the beads and feathers onto the yarn strands and tie them into place. This will create an additional bohemian element and add more personality to your wall hanging.

6. Add shells:

To add a touch of the beach to your Boho wall hanging, tie shells onto the ends of your yarn strands. This will give your wall hanging a coastal flair.

7. Add finishing touches:

Add final touches such as trimming the yarn to make it even or adjusting the spacing between the knots. Make any final adjustments to ensure that the wall hanging is visually pleasing and hangs well.

With these easy steps, you can create a stunning Boho wall hanging that is personalized to your taste. Be sure to add different textures and colours for a playful design. Finally, hang your Boho wall hanging in a visible place for maximum effect!
