Yarn Wall Hanging
Have you seen a wall hanging you loved recently? They are everywhere! When I was asked to do a spray paint project, I suddenly thought that this might be my easiest every way of getting that DIY Wall Hanging I’ve always wanted, without too much money or time invested.

1. Start with a wooden dowel of any size and thickness you want. Next you need to cut all of your yarn. I had a whole spool of yarn, and used at least 3/4 of it, cutting strands from one hand, across the chest to the other hand.
2. Once your yarn is cut, tie on your pieces of yarn as shown in the photos above. Add yarn to your dowel until it is completely full.
3. Now it’s time to spray paint! I used a couple of boxes to block the rest of the yarn so that I only have a small strip exposed while spray painting.
Do this as many times as you want, with an many colours as you want.
Spray paint is sticky! Painting the three strips basically acted as glue, you would have to tug those strips of yarn to separate them.
4. Finally, cut off any excess yarn.
This simple wall hanging was the last piece of the puzzle in my simple reading/working nook. It’s got a little bit of boho flair and the wall hanging was the perfect addition!

I could do this with fabric strips to make a hobo look I have in mind. Yep I think it would work for window decor.

Should I say thanks for my phone making boho into hobo. I think it has a mind of it's own. How encouraging!

Great idea! Did you actually pull apart the yarn after spray painting? I think when I do mine, I will - plus I'm thinking of altering the painting so it isn't in straight lines. You have got me inspired!
