DIY wall decoration: step by step instructions

Macrame is more popular than ever – no wonder, we definitely want to have this delicate weaving technique on our walls. You can now find out step by step how you can make such a chic boho-style decoration yourself. Let’s go!

Step 1 – Cut and knot

Cuts the wool 13 strips to, each one should be about 1.5 to 2 m long. Fixes the two metal rings, e.g. B. with an adhesive strip. The smaller ring is on the inside.

The first The strip is doubled to create a loop. This will be a few centimeters pushed under the small metal ring. Now pull the rest of the wool thread through the loop from above and tighten it.

Do this for all wool threads. Try to tie the knots and threads as evenly as possible.

Step 2 – Arrange threads

Now divide the middle strand of wool in the middle again and lay it down right over the left and then the strands to the side.

Step 3 – Make macrame

Same thing, right over left, with all the other strands!

This is what it looks like when they are all laid out like this:

Step 4 – Knot the pretzels

Now it’s about connecting to the large metal ring; you work from the inside out.

Grab the lowest thread, pass the bottom end through the large metal ring, place the strand to the right to the side so that a loop is created. Then pull the end through the loop – it now looks like a small pretzel. Tighten.

Now grab the lower thread on the side and proceed in the same way and now alternately knot the pretzels – until they are all knotted:

The result is impressive!

Step 5 – Hanging loop

Now you can fix the two rings at the top and at the same time attach a suspension for your DIY decoration. To do this, make another loop, like the initial knot, and pull it tight:

Step 6 – Final touch-up

To make the bottom end look nice and even, cut it to size. Lay the threads straight next to each other and in an orderly (!) manner. Whether you want a straight or diagonal finish is up to you. It is best to fix the threads with a strip of painter’s tape and cut along them.

Even tapering looks really stylish with DIY wall decoration – and is ready to decorate your wall with a touch of boho!
