How to make a macrame feather

Create your own boho-style wall hanging. - by Tara Dennis
  • 30 Aug 2019

This 70s craft is making a major comeback and you can get on trend with a DIY wall hanging. And as you can see in the video above, it makes a super cute wall decoration! 

The art of knotting cord into patterns, macrame is a versatile craft you can use to create unique pieces for you and your home – from plant holders to string bags and quirky jewellery. This project turns rope and string into a wall hanging featuring macrame feathers and fake feathers hung from a tree branch for an organic decoration that will suit many interior styles – especially boho.

Here's how

Gather your supplies

  • Cotton rope
  • Cotton cord
  • Faux feathers
  • Tree branch
  • Fabric shears
  • Brush cleaning comb
  • Hot-glue gun

Step 1 Cut a 1.2m length of rope for the spine. Cut 4 x 60cm, 4 x 50cm and 4 x 40cm lengths of rope for the strands.

Macrame step

Step 2 Fold one 60cm strand in half and lay crossways on work surface. Lay the spine, centred, on top of the strand with the looped end of spine at least 12cm above strand.

Macrame technique

Step 3 Fold another 60cm strand in half and take the looped end over the tails of the first strand.
