Make a DIY macramé wall art masterpiece!
Macramé is the perfect craft to try for easy stylish wall art. First, learn the ropes with our beginner’s guide to macramé. Next, decide which materials to use for your macramé wall hanging. The best yarn for macramé projects is something that has a lot of structure so you can create quick knots that are strong and durable. A bulky cotton yarn, like Paintbox Yarns Recycled Big Cotton does the job nicely. Plus, unlike macramé rope, you have a much wider choice of colours. Hello, fun wall hangings that match your decor! Now, when it comes to choosing your macramé pattern - either go for a textured wall hanging or why not try a macramé plant hanger for a gorgeous hanging plant.

Weave a wonderful wall art piece!
Crafty hands will love the art of weaving. First, you need to choose the right loom for the job, hint - it’s a weaving loom! Then you need to pick your yarns. Weaving is a great way to use up yarn scraps too, as you can layer different yarn weights and colours together. If you’re looking for a gift for a craft fiend, a weaving kit is good place to start.
