6 Easy Pieces: DIY Wall Hangings

Gold Dipped Yarn Hanging via Oleander and Palm

It’s so easy to collect too many photos, kids drawings, cool prints, thrifted paintings, and other fun finds for our walls. Sometimes I think I’m in danger of turning my entire house into a gallery-style wall installation, with pictures hanging from floor to ceiling! The only thing I don’t like: all of those squares and rectangles, sometimes we need to mix it up.

Enter the glorious realm of wall hangings with me to shake things up. With some basic materials and these awesome tutorials, you’ll have custom wall hangings that are all your own. Take on the vintage trend of macramé, weaving, or felt banners and let’s get making!

These birds remind me of the old mobile my Great Aunt Mabel had hanging in her sun porch. It’s whimsical and fun—perfect for your own porch, or add it to a little one’s nursery.

This hanging has a vintage style with a twist from the modern metal accents. I love how quick it would be to pull together. With some different colored yarns and hoop sizes you could create a whole range of wall hangings!

There’s something so sweet about a felt banner—it reminds me instantly of old school pennant banners. But when you make your own you can say whatever you want (no “Go, Panthers” for me)!

This German tutorial is pretty straight forward (after you translate it with Google). Her photos do a great job at describing just how you can make your own hanging planters. I love the pastel colors with the gold accents. Don’t you?
