New Embellished Macrame in Pink

Pink Macrame with Dream Catcher
Precious Pink Macrame W/DreamCatcher
I found this soft pink macrame cord and really liked it.  So I added one of my new dream catcher pendants as an accent piece.  Do you like the addition?  If you don't, it's easy to remove, or change out for a different one.  
This precious piece is for sale now on my Etsy shop.  Check it out and share via Pinterest or other social media.

New "Sunda" Macrame Wall Art

Large Wall Hanging With Fringe/Tassel

Macrame Wall Hanging Large
"Sunda" Large Macrame Wall Hanging
I named this dramatic hanging after my late, great Arab mare who passed a few years back at the age of 36.  She was so beautiful and graceful, as only Arabian horses can be.

This three-layer hanging has a lot going on, but it's still geometric and simple.  The open weave in the center gives it cohesion.  The tassel from a half-hitch spiral "necklace" focal point adds spice with grace.  The fringed third layer softens the geometry.  And a V-pattern bottom provides drama.

Size: 26" wide X 32" long
Available now on my Etsy shop. Won't you pin or "heart" this special-to-me macrame wall hanging?  Thank you!

New Macrame Hangings

Macrame Wall Hanging with Fringe
The new softer cord is such a blessing!  So much easier on my hands and the design possibilities are beautiful.  I've put this macrame hanging on my Etsy store recently and it's getting a lot of interest.  

The  fringe gives this piece a soft look and I think it would work great in a nursery or bedroom.  Bathrooms would be a perfect place to hang this little gem, too.  Measurements are 13" wide by 17" long.  A piece of one of our fire-cured, hand-polished bamboo with a substantial diameter serves as the mount.

I've added a feather just for fun, although it looks just as good without it.  For boho decor, it's a sure bet.

Wont you please share or pin  and visit my Etsy shop to ♥ this new hanging? Thanks for visiting!

Bohemian Macrame Wall Art

Bohemian Wall Art Macrame Wall Hanging
Bohemian Wall Art - Macrame
So, after a couple of years making these macrame wall hangings, my hands are really suffering.  To give them a break, I've started using this new, soft, unstructured cord.  And I'm liking  it!

In order to give the hanging bulk and dimension, I added layers upon layers.  The look is different than my other designs: a softer, more romantic feel with a definite Boho vibe.

One of our bamboo rods that I've been saving for the perfect piece made the perfect rod.  It has a lot of interesting bulges and rings.  

The hanging doesn't have a name yet - I give all my hangings names and I'm taking suggestions.  If you review my other macrame pieces, you'll notice there's a theme to the names. 

Here's the good news:  See if you can come up with an idea that fits and leave it in the comments below.  If I choose your name, you win one of these Boho tapestries!

Like, share, and save to Pinterest.  And visit my Etsy store and "heart" this new addition to my macrame gallery.

Boho Dorm Room Decor - It's easy with macrame!
"Mindfulness" Boho-Style Wall Decor
Dorm Room Gift - Wrapped with a note
Summer's winding down, sigh, and it won't be long before kids are heading back to school.

While Boho-Style is trending for weddings and nurseries, Bohemian decor is also hot for dorm rooms.  And nothing speaks Boho like macrame. This small macrame hanging, "Mindfulness",  is very popular for dorm room decorating.

Featuring a V-pattern of open, alternating square knots in 3mm 100% cotton braided macrame cord, the hanging is  mounted to one of our bamboo rods.  "Mindfulness" is available on my Etsy shop and can be ship directly to a gift recipient  with a note. 

If you're heading back to school or know someone who is, this modern macrame hanging adds lots  of Bohemian flair to dorm walls.

Local Wedding Uses New Design

Leslie (of Leslie Vega Design) was kind enough to send me photos of her wedding. She used "Romantica", my newest macrame wedding design, for an area she set aside for photos.  The venue, on Lake Sante Fe in Melrose Florida,  was stunning and so was Leslie.

"Romantica" is now available on my Etsy shop and is already getting favorite-ed and orders are coming in.  The simple yet elegant design allows for easy customizing,  and the affordable price makes it a great choice for budgets.  Several can be hung at different locations or a big one creates a  significant splash.  

Good job, Leslie, and thanks for sharing!

Macrame Wedding Decor

Macrame Wedding Decor Addition

With the wedding season growing close, I've been working on different macrame ceremony backdrops for my Etsy shop.  Pictured above is a large macrame hanging I finished this weekend.  The pattern I used is a longer, wider, straight-edged version of "Harmony".

What I like about this hanging is it easily allows for size customization to fit the circumstance.  And it transfers readily to  home decor.  I've placed the macrame hanging  above a console table here, but it could just as easily be used as a headboard,  above a couch, or as a window covering.

So often,  macrame wedding backdrops  look like they're basically made for one-time use, to be thrown away after the ceremony.  No so with this hanging. I build my pieces out of the highest quality cord available and put a lot of attention into the detail, creating  a family heirloom to keep, use, and hand down.

The pattern for this straight "Harmony" is filled with medallions, rosettes, braids and diamonds.  These design elements take a lot of time and require straight, tight knotting, but I think it's worth it.  If you're using this piece in your wedding ceremony,  you certainly want a rich looking tapestry befitting the occasion!  Once it transfers to the home, the extra attention to detail and the quality materials will never no out of style.

If you like my new creation, then "like" and share below! Visit my Etsy shop to see more macrame wedding decorations. Thanks for stopping by and your comments are welcome below.

Macrame Plant Hangers For Weddings

Macrame Plant Hanger Wedding Decorations
"Tryst" Macrame Plant Hanger

Wedding Decor and More

I created this sweet little macrame plant hanger with wedding decor in mind, but "Tryst" transitions easily to the home after the ceremony is over.  

Made from 4mm 100% cotton, the 3 strand cords makes a lovely tail when I shred them.  I like a glass pot, but any 6" (plus or minus) will do. 

For a change, put a battery operated candle in the glass pot.

"Tryst" is now available on my Etsy shop.   Or, look in my macrame plant hanger section for other designs.
