Even when you’re going for a minimalist decor, empty walls always make the room feel cold and less welcoming. Framed pictures and paintings are we used to put up in the walls. Not anymore.
Today we have plenty of creative and modern ways to choose from to decorate our walls, and wall hangings are one of them.
What looks good in the shop doesn’t always look good once you’ve hung it on your wall, and then it’s too late to change anything. The beauty of handmade wall art is that it adds meaning to the art piece, since it’s something you’ve made yourself, and you can change it whenever and however you feel like it.
To start those creative juices flowing, we give you a few wonderful wall hangings and how to make them. Let’s begin.
1. Wool And Brass Wall Hanging
Despite being a thick and heavy material, wool is a great material to give a more cozy feel to the walls, and it’s used more and more often for various wall art projects. This one is very straightforward, using black wool with gold threadings which balances the added hard gold rings perfectly.
2. Photo Wall Hanging
Most of us still prefer to decorate the walls in a classic way, with pictures or photos. If you’re one who thinks so too, then you’ll love this hanging picture wall art. Choose the most beautiful or meaningful pictures for you and put them together with a string.
3. Rainbow Yarn Wall Hanging
Nothing is more cheerful and colorful than a rainbow and now you can make a permanent one to arc across your walls. This is a really nice addition to your home decor and you’ll have fun making it too.
4. Ombre Paper Chain Wall Hanging
Wool and yarn are normally used for making wall hangings, however paper can be used for making some stunning wall art as well, and we’re not talking about some mosaic art either. Just take a look at this ombre paper chainlink hanging. It’s interesting, easy and you can even get the kids to help out, making it a nice family project.
5. Evil Eye Wall Hanging
For having the sense of peace and harmony in the home people would try anything, even placing various charms around the house. One such common charm is the evil eye, that wards of jealousy and negative energy. Even if you don’t believe in those things, this is a still nice wall hanging to have around.
6. Wood And Colorful Yarn V-Wall Hanging
Much like the rainbow hanging, this one is very colorful, but on a much bigger scale and with a more warm and abstract feel to it with the wood and chevron design. Perfect for filling up the black space on a large wall without making it feel too stuffy.
7. Brass Wall Hanging
For smaller wall spaces in need of accessorizing, this brass wall hanging is just the thing you need. It may be a bit more pricey to make since brass parts come with a bigger price tag, still, it would be way more preferable than actually buying a similar art piece. And you have to admit it does look like a very high-end art piece.
8. Minimalist Eucalyptus Wall Hanging
Many people like to have some greenery in their home even when they don’t have a green thumb. A new twist to the classic “flowers-in-a-vase” alternative is this lovely minimalist wall hanging.

9. “Metal” Flower Wall Hanging
Don’t those elaborate metallic hangings look amazing? Even more amazing is their price, and metal is something not many of us can work with or want to work with. Thankfully there are many ways to make more workable materials like wood sticks look exactly like metal and no one would know the difference. Just like this wonderful metal flower hanging.
10. Moon Phase Mobile Wall Hanging
Phases of the moon crafts hold something special in them no matter how you look or feel about the moon. It is a lovely art idea and with a piece of wood or driftwood and some polymer clay you can make this marvelous moon phase hanging.

13. Wool Wall Hanging From Driftwood
