How to Make Wall Tassel Decor

 

If you love bohemian flowing pieces and need some decorations for your space, this project is perfect for you. Wall hangings with natural textures are super trendy this season, especially those with colors.

 

Here’s a fun and easy way to make ombre tassels – a hanging wall decor piece for your home or office.

 

Materials you’ll need to make the tassels:

• Cotton yarn
• Paint
• Scissors
• Dye container
• Wooden dowel (20 inches)
• Book

 

Step 1: Wrapping the Yarn

To create the tassels, take the book and hold the end of the yarn at the top of it. Then wrap the yarn around the book vertically about 25–30 times.

 

Step 2: Cutting Technique

Cut the yarn on one side of the book and gather the strands together, aligning the ends. Once done, cut about 5 inches of extra yarn and use that strand to wrap and tie the top of the tassel. Trim off any uneven or frayed ends.

 

Step 3: Repeat According to Project Size

Repeat these steps to make 6 more tassels. You should have a total of 7 tassels.

 

Step 4: Dyeing Process

Follow the instructions on the dye package to prepare your dye. Once it’s ready, you’re set to dip your tassels.

 

Step 5: Achieving the Ombre Effect

To achieve the ombre look, dip about 4 inches of the ends of the tassels into the dye for 10 seconds. Then gently lift the tassel, leaving only 2 inches of the top in the dye for about 2 minutes (let it hang over the edge of the container).

 

Once you’ve dyed all your tassels, squeeze out the excess water and hang them to dry.

 

Step 6: Add Hanging String

Add a string to the tassels once they’re completely dry. Cut a 25-inch piece of cord and thread it through the loop at the top of the tassel. Tie both ends together in a double knot to secure.

 

Step 7: Hang from the Wooden Dowel

Take the wooden dowel and start from the middle, tying one tassel there (this should be the longest tassel). Then continue tying the rest of the tassels along the dowel to create a V-shape, and trim any excess string (make sure both sides are even in length).

 

Step 8: Choose the Hanging Height

Cut a 30-inch piece of cord and tie each end to the edges of the wooden dowel.

 

Step 9: Hang Your Beautiful Tassel Wall Decor

You’re all set! Hang your beautiful tassel creation on any wall you like and enjoy the result.

Macrame wall hangings offer countless ways to add a touch of texture to your living room, bedroom, entryway, and beyond. Unlike crochet, macrame involves knotting fibers together, while crochet creates loops using yarn.

 

Both methods result in creations that feel organic yet intricate — perfect for those who appreciate bohemian vibes.

 

Whether you’re looking for an easy way to introduce texture into your apartment or simply want a unique piece to replace a headboard, this crafty trend will surely complement your existing home decor.

 

Along with dip-dyed rugs and fringe accents, macrame — the knot-based textile art — is one of several aesthetic trends from the 1970s that has been revived by boho home decor, including knotted plant hangers and textured pillows.

 

If the pandemic inspired you to learn a new hands-on hobby, create something colorful for your empty wall, or hang your plant a little closer to the sunlight, we suggest getting your supplies at a very low cost and getting started!

One of the joys of macrame is that there are really no strict rules. You can hang your artwork from almost anything sturdy enough — wooden dowels, brass rings, or S-hooks — all in various sizes and perfect for hanging plants or wall art.

 

Oval wooden beads with 4 mm hole – assorted colors

 

Beads add color and texture to your macrame hanging, but make sure that the bead hole is large enough to fit your chosen cord.

 

Find the beads that suit you best among the wide selection at EM ART. You can also pick up some thread and sew smaller beads onto the outer edges of your creation for extra detail.

Abstract Origami Wall Art

 

STEP 1: Materials and Tools

 

Thick paper

Pencil

Hot glue gun

 

STEP 2: Preparation

First, sketch the shape you want to create. This will help you determine how many triangles you’ll need and how many of each color to prepare.

 

STEP 3: Folding Your First Pyramid

A good tip is to practice first on some regular paper until you feel comfortable with the process. It might take around five tries before you feel confident.

 

Once you’re comfortable with folding the pyramids, you can start folding each square you’ve cut earlier to form the exact number of pyramids you’ll need for this project.

 

STEP 4: CONNECTING TWO PYRAMIDS TOGETHER

Attach them by hot-gluing the elongated triangular flaps together. Don’t use too much hot glue, or the paper may collapse!

 

STEP 5: CREATING THE HANGING STRUCTURE

Now you can prepare the hanging support. You can make and glue an “M”-shaped structure or any other shape you think will best support your piece.

 

STEP 6: HANGING YOUR PROJECT

You can hang your artwork using any method you like, but we recommend using hot glue to attach it to the wall. You can also use screws or any other method you prefer.

 

If you choose to glue it as we suggest, be sure to apply the glue to the supporting base you made, not directly onto the paper pyramids.

 

What is Origami? The birthplace of this art is China, though it’s commonly associated with Japan.

So why is that? Simply put, origami is the art of creating images by folding paper.

 

The word “origami” comes from Japanese — oru means “to fold,” and kami means “paper.” This is no coincidence, as it’s a well-known fact that origami is considered a classical Japanese art form — though, in truth, that’s not entirely accurate.

 

Contrary to popular belief, origami was not invented in Japan. Like many so-called “traditional” Japanese creations, it actually originated in China. It’s believed that origami emerged shortly after the invention of paper (1st–2nd century AD), although this remains speculative due to limited written evidence.
