August Monthly Macrame Challenge - Simply Inspired Flamingo Wall Hanging

Are you ready for a new Monthly Macrame Challenge? This August we’re making a super cute Macrame Flamingo Wall Hanging by talented teacher Sheena Joy from Simply Inspired!

Affiliate links may be sprinkled throughout the awesome, free content below. I’ll receive a small commission when you purchase from my (Amazon) links (at no extra cost to you), which I’ll happily spend on more colorful macrame cords!

August Monthly Macrame Challenge

For our new August Monthly Macrame Challenge, we’ve teamed up with Macrame teacher Sheena Joy from the amazing Youtube channel Simply Inspired.

To celebrate Summer and enjoy some lovely tropical vibes we both thought a Flamingo wall hanging would be the perfect Macrame project for August!

This pixel style Macrame wall hanging will brighten up any wall AND you get to practice your vertical double half hitch knot in the process. WIN-WIN!
