How to Make a Macrame Wall Hanging?
Making a Macrame wall hanging is a lot easier than you might think. You only need to know the basic Macrame knots to recreate most patterns:

Macrame Supplies – Dowels
Most wall hangings are attached to a dowel. This can be a simple wooden branch you found in your garden, a piece of driftwood you brought home from the beach, or a plain wooden stick from a DIY store.
If you have trouble finding a suitable dowel for your Macrame wall hanging, you can easily order them on Etsy. Here are my favorite finds:
Plain wooden dowel
Driftwood
Copper Dowel
Macrame Supplies – Cords
If you’re looking for gorgeous colorful Macrame cords, I recommend Bobbiny. Their eco-friendly and recycled Macrame cords are super fun to work with and will make all your Macrame wall hangings look absolutely stunning.

I recommend using 3-Ply or Braided Macrame cords for larger wall hangings. What cords you use for your project also depends on the tutorial you’re following. You can usually find this information in the video description on YouTube.
TIP: If you’re using 3-Ply Macrame rope to create your piece, tape the ends of the cords to prevent unraveling.
Plenty of Macrame cord stockists sell Bobbiny cords in different colors in their online shop. Check my handy shopping guide for the best local online Bobbiny cord suppliers near you.

Macrame Workstation – Tools
I recommend setting up a proper Macrame workspace when working on bigger Macrame projects.
Regarding tools, I recommend getting a good pair of sharp scissors and a tape measure.

Love your website!
Yay! Thank you so much Unicorn 🙂 Happy Knotting!

Do you have a link for the project pictured on the cover of this pin? That is what I’m looking to make. Thanks!

The cover is a wall hanging on a wooden branch. It’s shaped into a v at the bottom. Wondering if you had instructions for that piece?
Thanks for the reply!
Hi Lena,
This design is based on tutorial #7. The only difference is the 2 extra rows of double half hitches at the bottom. Hope you can figure it now! Good luck 🙂
Love
Marloes
Thanks for creating this amazing website. I have now made my first wall hanging by adapting the Create by Jen tutorial (I only had t-shirt yarn available). It’s for my friends 50th Birthday Present but really I want to keep it!
Hi Emma!
Thanks so much for your kind words! I’m so happy the website inspired you to make your first wall hanging! I remember seeing it in the Facebook group and it looks stunning!
What will you be working on next?

I want to make #14: there is no mention of how long the cords should be. Help!
