DIY Semi Circle Macrame Wall Hanging Tutorial | Step by Step Easy Beginner Two Colour Lunar Boho

Описание: This is an easy beginners tutorial for semi circle macrame wall hangings made up of only two knots: Lark's Head Knots and Half Hitch Knots.

To make this hanging, you need:

9x 2 metre 3mm cotton cord in colour 1 (Natural)
6x 1 metre 3mm cotton cord in colour 1 (Natural)
4x 1 metre 3mm cotton cord in colour 2 (Chestnut)
Wooden dowel (I used 7 inch 12mm FSC dowel)
Scissors or rotary cutter
Optional: wire brush

Or using 5mm cotton cord (see yellow hanging)

7x 2 metre 5mm cotton cord in colour 1 (Natural)
4x 1 metre 5mm cotton cord in colour 1 (Natural)
3x 1 metre 5mm cotton cord in colour 2 (Mustard)
Wooden dowel
Scissors or rotary cutter
Optional: wire brush

I have kept the lengths quoted long whilst you find your tension. Depending on how tightly you knot and your cords, the lengths may need to vary. These are the lengths I personally used to create these hangings.

00:29 Round 1
02:08 Round 2 - add 1 metre Brown cord
04:36 Round 3 - add 2x 1 metre Natural cord
06:10 Round 4 - add 1 metre Brown cord
07:53 Round 5 - add 2x 1 metre Natural cord
09:30 Round 6 - add 1 metre Brown cord
10:29 Round 7 - add 2x 1 metre Natural cord
11:45 Round 8 - add 1 metre Brown cord
13:20 Cut ends
13:43 Brush (optional)

You may notice I don’t use a ‘typical’ method when creating these hangings. I find that knotting this way creates neater and more uniform knots but if you find the traditional method is best for you, stick with it!

I only knot mine from left to right, again because I personally find this suits me best. Play around with macrame and knots to see what works for you.

You can leave the ends as they are or comb out the fringe and trim down to desired size either with scissors or with a rotary cutter.
My single twist cords brush out really soft and this didn’t need straightening but you may find other types of cord do need straightening or steaming.

Repeat the method as many times as you like to get your desired size!

The method is identical for 5mm cord, the only difference is that it creates larger knots. Please follow the same process. On a 7 inch 12mm dowel, there are 8 rounds of 3.5mm cord or 6 rounds of 5mm cord.
