DIY Wall Art (for the non-DIYer)

Anyone that knows me at all, knows I am not really crafty

I try to be, and end up getting frustrated and throwing things

(just being honest)

That would be the exact reason I went the nursing route...

No crafts involved!!

Nic and I found out yesterday that we got a house!!!

Praise the Lord, Hallelujah!

This means I have a TON of wall space to cover

As everyone knows or has seen floating around the social media world

macramé is back!!
And I love it!

I have no idea where to even start when it comes to instructions that involve a loom

(I have a huge respect for those that do)

So I found something that was simple and took less than an hour!

I am horrible at typing out instructions so here are about 1000 pictures to walk you through this macramé, non-macramé wall art

Happy Thursday!

(Can you believe it's already Thursday?!)

What you will need:
Wooden dowel
Yarn (as many colors as you would like)
Scissors
Paper
Measuring tape (I used a yard stick)
Saw of some sort

1. Cut your yarn into long pieces (I made mine a yard for each string)

2. Here we go with pictures (I just work better that way)

3. Continue with this pattern until you are ready to start the next color and do the same thing
4. Once you have all your colors on your wooden dowel, grab a piece of paper ( I used 2) and make a triangle (like so...)

and cut the edges at an angle
5. Now time to shorten the dowel

I measured to keep 4 inches on each side (depending on how much you want sticking out)
6. Add whatever color yarn you prefer to the top for a hanger

and THAT'S IT!!

 I will post more picture of it once Nic and I get settled and it finds a home on the wall.
