Would you like to add unique wall decoration to your home? Then try Macrame. Take a look at these 10 simple and free macramic wall patterns that are perfect for beginners and give your empty walls a unique piece that certainly receives a lot of compliments.
My 10 free patterns are not the usual DIY macrame wall to which they are used to. I also recorded seasonal macrame creations that you can switch off.
Tips for beginners of macrama
- Don’t rethink your project! Mistress errors and the great thing about macrame is that you can open your piece again and start from the front without wasting material.
- Cutting your cables longer is better than having cables too short. If you have a lot of waste, you can do many great projects with all the remains. For example, take a look at my earrings or fringed earrings at DIY macrame or this tassel decoration with which you can set up things like baskets and lampshades. Or you can even make some macrame Christmas decorations with all your remaining macrame cable back.
- If you wonder what the best cable size for a macrame wall hanger is? A 4 -mm cable is always a good starting point for a standard macrame project. A thinner type of cable like a 3 mm is better for smaller projects. If you use a thicker 5 -mm cable, you need a lot more cable length.
- You can learn the different basic nodes before a project, but personally I never had to do it because they are so easy to knot and I show them for every project.
- Can I use normal strings, jute or hemp for macrame? Yes, you can speak technically. However, I definitely prefer macrame thread for my DIY projects. You will understand why if you see my following wall hangings and your instructions. Watestone rope -macrame yarn is much softer and easy to unravel. I love to escape the yarn for my projects, and that is almost impossible with the type of cords. Even the synthetic yarn that I used for my macrame walls and projects outdoors cannot be covered.
So yes, you can use other cables as a replacement for macrame cables, but I don’t prefer it. It’s preferred.
You can even use the cables of a MOP head to create a yarn wall.
Basic nodes used in my simple macramums
In all of my projects, I will show you how to carry out each of the different macrame nodes in video tutorials or step-by-step photo tutorials.
- Collect nodes or wrap nodes – This is not really a knot because nothing is knotted. It is a way to wrap the macrame cable firmly to wrap a bunch of macrame yarn to hold it together while you hide the beginning and end of the yarn.
- LARK’s head knot – The lark’s head knot is usually used in macrame to fasten the cable on a stick or a bar (occasionally also a piece of cable) by folding it in half and pushed to the object.
- Square nodes – This is the most frequently used knot to create patterns by overlaping lines or knot long strands. If you do not switch the knots over the middle line, the square knot turns into a spiral node. Both are usually used to produce a macrame plant bracket or projects such as my DIY macrame cat bed.
Below you will find a picture that shows you how to create a square knot by alternating the right side and the left side around the two middle cords. - Horizontal, diagonal and vertical Double half -coupler node ((Climbing holder Knot) – So many great macrame patterns are created with a combination of this versatile node. As already mentioned, it can be knotted horizontally, diagonally and vertically for unique -looking designs. Basically, they take the functioning cable and switch around a fill cable twice (or a few cables) and blocked them on the spot.

10 unique, free macrame patterns for wall hangings that are beginner-friendly
Many of this macrame tutorials are also displayed on my YouTube channel if you want to follow me there.
Pattern 1: Emmered macrame yarn wall hanger
This breathtaking combination of macrame and embroidery thread is my favorite, and you can develop all kinds of combinations that match your wall size and color scheme. Mine is a fairly large macrame wall hangs.
All you need for this project is a collective node that is used to wrap the strands of the combed macrame yarn with different colors of the embroidery thread.
Pattern 2: Macrame chain compound garland wall hanging
Have you ever seen something like this wall? I let myself be hanged by a ceramic wall that I saw on 1stdibs on 1,655 US dollars, and thought I could imitate a similar look with macrame yarn. I think it’s a pretty similar vision.
Pattern 3: Modern macrame wall slopes
This beautiful and unique wall slopes is a combination of my first wall and the second wall that hang with the combed macrame yarn strands, which are held together with square knots. In addition, some macrame strands are held together with two half -hitch -Kare.
Pattern 4: Clear macramation
A wreath is also technically hanging a wall. This macramation is unique because I added a thick, fluffy wool for additional texture to the diagonal half -coupling node. For me, the thick wool detail takes this beach -boho macrame wall to the next stage.
Pattern 5: Pipa Knot Wallhaanging
This long and large cotton swab -knot wall slopes is referred to as Pipa nodes, and I used thick macrame ropes for it. It is a perfect piece of wall art for a long and narrow wall that you can see here in my hallway. (I also include how to make the thick wooden button)
Pattern 7: Macrame feather wall hang
A group of simple macrame springs hanging on a stick is also a great and super simple wall. All you need are Square nodes for this simple project.
Pattern 8: hanging macarame flattens
The macrame blade is similar to the macrame spring, but I have added a turn to and you can hang it as a wall. I added, think that the diagonal double half hitch knots did as well as in the wreath. You can even add some wooden beads for more interest.
Pattern 6: Macrame Herzwand hang
We come to some seasonal wall hangers that are easy to prepare. Here you can see my two versions to hang a macrame heart wall. All you need are some varieties of double -Hitch nodes to create the heart pattern. The additional yarn color is the cherry above.
Pattern 9: Macrame Ghost Wall Hanging
I think this is the simplest and simplest wall reveal of this summary. All you need is an old metal bracket and the macrame yarn with some LARKE head nodes for a super fast project.
I also have a macrame bat wall that I love, but it is a little more advanced than the very simple and simple macrame ghost pattern.
Pattern 10: Macrame Christmas tree wall hang
This sweet green macrame Christmas wall hanging is the perfect project for the holidays and looks a bit complicated. But it also only uses basic macrame nodes such as double -hitch nodes, some square knot strands on the floor and some combed macrame yarn that were thrown into the woven fabrics to form tassels. I added a few fairy tale lights for an additional festive note.
I hope you enjoy restoring some of these wall hangings. If you do this, send me a photo. I would like to see your great work!
Bye,
