Popular in the ‘70s, weavings were hanging on walls everywhere. From living rooms to hotel lobbies to restaurants, this stylish artisanal craft was having its heyday. Like many other trends, weavings have made a major comeback. Unlike the artwork of the ‘70s, the woven work we’ve had our eyes on has been flush with brightly colored yarn, layered with tassels and adorned with accessories like feathers and leather. Today we’re bringing you a list of nine weaving tutorials so you can make that cool wall hanging you’ve been eyeing on Pinterest.
Woven Doormat
This woven doormat is so vibrant and beautiful, we hate to put our stinky shoes on it! The use of paracord makes it super sturdy and tolerant of some stomping. (via A Beautiful Mess)
Wall Hanging
We love the inclusion of tassels and all of the layering in this wall hanging. Non-traditional additions to your weaving will make it stand out and give it personality. (via Honestly WTF)
Woven Coasters
Okay, so we couldn’t find her tutorial, but the steps are clear in the photo. Such a clever idea by this embroidery master. Look around your house and see what else you could use as a loom. The possibilities are endless. (via Karen Barbé)
Woven Floor Pouf
Speaking of interesting looms, our very own Kelly got creative making this woven pouf. By using a saucer she was able to get the weave to curve naturally into the shape she needed for a pouf. (via Brit + Co)
Stick Weaving
Can’t find ordinary objects that work for your loom? Go outside and grab a few sticks. The organic look of this weaving goes so well with the bohemian vibe we often associate with the Free People brand. (via Free People)
Woven Placemat
A mini version of the doormat, our placemat will brighten up your tablescape. We added some pom poms to give it a little extra texture. (via Brit + Co)
Woven Chairs
They call these macrame chairs, but we think they fall into the weaving category since they used the over-under technique instead of knotting the yarn. Regardless, they are badass. (via Deuce Cities Henhouse)
Woven Wall Art
Don’t have a loom? No problem. Grab a cardboard box, make some snips and add some string. Then check out our tutorial to make a stunning weaving to hang on your wall. Move over, gallery wall — woven art needs some space! (via Brit + Co)
DIY Faux Weaving
For those of you who aren’t feeling it but still want the look, check out this no-weave wall hanging. Get the look without sore fingers. (via Brittany Makes)
