Create The Most Stylish Macrame Wall Hanging With One Simple Ingredient
Are you looking for ways to incorporate macrame in your home? Macrame is a textural crafting technique that consists of knotting pieces of string or cord with your fingers to create boho-inspired art. It's a popular choice for those who love rustic home decor as it introduces raw and natural materials into an interior design scheme. There are so many different ways that you can display macrame in your home, and hanging it on the wall as an art piece is one of the best.
You can create a stylish macrame wall hanging by laying the macrame piece that you've lovingly made onto a canvas and attaching it with texture paste. Stick down each individual section of macrame with the paste and paint more texture paste on top of your macrame to make sure each piece of string is securely fixed onto the canvas. Wait 10-15 minutes for the texture paste to dry before you continue with your craft.
How to decorate your macrame wall hanging
Once the texture paste is dry and your macrame is fully stuck to the canvas, it's time to think about more ways you enhance your wall hanging. Be inspired by this Instagram tutorial from user @artlady_olga and add some gold spray paint and turn your macrame into a metallic masterpiece. If gold doesn't go with the rest of your interiors, you could always use silver or copper instead for a similarly shiny metallic finish. We always recommend soaking your can of spray paint in warm water before use for a smoother application.
To make your macrame truly pop, paint the canvas that it sits on with a dark color. Black is the obvious choice as the dark shade really adds a wow-factor. However, if black is too much of a bold statement for you, then dark navy or burgundy are both fabulous alternatives that still pack the same punch. When painting your canvas, it's important to take extra care not to get any of the paint onto the macrame itself. Use a thin, pointed brush to paint around the edges of the macrame and then continue to use a bigger brush to color in the rest of your canvas.
