I felt like my upstairs landing needed a little love, so instead of going with a piece of framed wall art I decided to add a little boho touch with a simple macramé wall hanging!

To create this macramé wall hanging I used simple and inexpensive materials. I love double hoop macramé and I’ve seen it done with metal hoop rings, but I wanted a larger scale piece! I knew a small hula hoop would be perfect!
Here is everything I used for my wall hanging:
hula hoop (Dollar Tree)
14 inch embroidery hoop
cable ties
yarn (2 colors)
wood tint
After removing the outer wrapping from the hula hoop and staining the embroidery hoop with walnut wood tint, I attached them using a black cable tie.
I used a piece of black electrical tape to cover the hula hoop seam. And in order to hang the piece I attached a second cable tie to the first.
2. There are tons of macramé knots, and they are beautiful, but I just wanted a simple layered piece. The knot I used is called a cow hitch knot. This knot is achieved by doubling a length of yarn, placing the loop on the doubled end over and behind the hoop, then pulling the end strands through the loop. Hope that made sense!
3. I tied the lighter colored yarn to the large hoop and layered the black yarn on top. I ended up with 38 loops on the bottom and 28 on top.
To finish the ends I cut the yarn at an angle to create a V shape.
I’m definitely getting a boho meets rustic vibe from this wall hanging! And I love how the black yarn brings out the specks of black in the cream yarn. This upstairs landing feels soo inviting now!
