Hang with Style: Mastering the Art of Macrame Wall Art Display
Macrame, the art of knotting cord into beautiful patterns, is experiencing a well-deserved revival. Its bohemian charm and handcrafted touch add warmth and texture to any space. But for those new to the world of macrame, a common question arises: how do you hang your stunning creation on the wall? Fear not, knotty friends! This guide will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to showcase your macrame masterpiece like a pro.
Choosing the Right Hardware:
The hanging method depends on the weight and size of your macrame piece and the desired look. Here are your options:
- Dowel and hooks: For lightweight pieces, a simple wooden dowel secured at the top with a loop or knots works wonders. Use picture hooks or nails suitable for the wall's material.
- Command hooks: These damage-free adhesive hooks are perfect for temporary displays or small, lightweight pieces.
- D-rings and screws: For heavier pieces, screw D-rings into the back of the macrame and hang them on sturdy screws in the wall.
- Macrame hangers: Embrace the full macrame aesthetic with woven hangers that complement your piece.
Hanging Techniques:
- Loop and knot: Create a loop at the top of your macrame using a secure knot like a lark's head or square knot. Hang this loop on your chosen hook.
- Dowel and string: Secure a cord to each end of the dowel and tie them together at the center back of your macrame. Hang the dowel on hooks or nails.
- Slipknot: This adjustable method involves creating slipknots on either end of the dowel and tightening them around the dowel for a secure hold.
Pro Tips for a Flawless Display:
- Level is key: Use a level to ensure your macrame hangs straight and avoid a crooked look.
- Mind the spacing: Consider the size of your artwork and the surrounding space. Leave enough room for the macrame to breathe and avoid overcrowding.
- Mix and match: Group smaller macrame pieces together to create a gallery wall or combine different textures and colors for a dynamic display.
- Accessorize strategically: Add plants, shelves, or other decorative elements to complement your macrame masterpiece.
