Rainbow Macrame Wall Hanging

Step -1:

Decide the number of layers and size for the macramé rainbow. Prepare pieces of rope strands

according to the determined numbers and sizes for each layer.

Step -2:

Grab a fall color yarn bundle and tie the yarn around any one of the rope strands, 1 inch from its

open end. Tie 2 tight knots.

Step - 3:

Start to wrap the tied yarn around the rope strand. Try to keep the wrapping as even and adjacent

as possible.

Step - 4:

Wrap the yarn all the way to the other side of the rope but making sure to keep an inch of the rope

intact on the open end. Keep a few inches of the yarn extra even after wrapping is done and cut off

yarn from the bundle. Insert a tapestry needle through the open end of the wrapped yarn strand.

Step - 5:

Draw the needle between 4 or more yarn wrapping. Pull the needle all the way through and then

cut off extra yarn. The yarn wrapping is now secured.

Step - 6:

Select a different colored yarn and prepare it with a tapestry needle. Draw the yarn through the

wrapping again, from any one of the open sides.

Step - 7:

Wrap the yarn around the previously wrapped yarn but this time; make sure to keep big gaps

Step - 8:

After reaching the other side of the rope, wrap towards the opposite direction by overlapping the

previous wrapping (from step 7). Tie a knot or 2 once the wrapping is complete.

Step - 9:

Grab the other ropes and prepare them similarly.

Step - 10:

Cut out a piece of felt for the rainbow base. The felt should be big enough to hold the macramé

rainbow.

Step - 11:

Prepare the hot glue gun and start attaching the yarn wrapped ropes on the felt cutout.

Step - 12:

Attach all wrapped ropes on the felt cutout.

Step - 13:

After attaching all ropes on the felt, use scissors to the felt along the border line of the attached

ropes.

Step - 14:

Attach pompoms around the top side of the macramé rainbow. Frame it; make a charm simply

attach a hanging mechanism at the back side.
