Didn’t you know I\u00a0love wall hangings? \u00a0Really wasn’t intending on\u00a0doing many of these, but the inspiration kept coming. \u00a0I see a lot of these types of hangings in stores all over LA, and strangely when I bumped into these gold rings at the craft store, they made me think of the rings I’m wearing on my index finger in this photo<\/a>, which is what inspired the design for this hanging. \u00a0Weird, right? \u00a0I like it when inspiration strikes in unexpected\u00a0ways, mmhmm.<\/p>\n Materials: ^Progress report.<\/p>\n Final step was to give it a hair cut.<\/p>\n What do you think? \u00a0What color(s) would you make this in?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Didn’t you know I\u00a0love wall hangings? \u00a0Really wasn’t intending on\u00a0doing many of these, but the inspiration kept coming. \u00a0I see a lot of these types of hangings in stores all over LA, and strangely when I bumped into these gold rings at the craft store, they made me think of the rings I’m wearing on … Continue reading “DIY Modern Yarn Hanging”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8561,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8499","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-diy"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8499","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8499"}],"version-history":[{"count":43,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8499\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8600,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8499\/revisions\/8600"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8561"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8499"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8499"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8499"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\n<\/strong><\/span>-yarn
\n–scissors<\/a>
\n-gold rings in 1.5″<\/a> and 3″<\/a>
\n–Krazy glue<\/a>
\n-cardboard (about 14″ in length)
\n-round wood dowel (cut mine to about 7.25″)<\/p>\n![\"string](\"http:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/string-ring1.jpg\")
I cut a piece of yarn and folded it in half, then put it through the 1.5″ gold ring.<\/p>\n![\"loop\"](\"http:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/loop.jpg\")
Taking the loose ends of the string, I pulled them through the yarn loop and then pulled down, but not all the way. \u00a0I kept it loose like shown in the above right photo. \u00a0*This is called a lark’s head knot and will be done a bajillion more times for this DIY*<\/p>\n![\"tied](\"http:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/tied-dowel.jpg\")
I double knotted\u00a0the loose ends of the yarn to each end of a wood dowel, then reinforced the knots with a dab of Krazy glue before cutting off the excess yarn. \u00a0Weird note- I\u00a0find watching\u00a0the glue seep into the knot very satisfying and consider it one of my too-specific favorite craft things.<\/p>\n![\"second](\"http:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/second-loop.jpg\")
With another half-folded piece of yarn, this time knotted at the other end, I tied a lark’s head knot around the 3″ ring., pulling it tight.<\/p>\n![\"connecting](\"http:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/connecting-rings.jpg\")
I pulled this yarn through the loop of the first lark’s head knot that I left open\/loose and tied a Lark’s head knot around THAT. \u00a0Larkception (do people still make that joke?). \u00a0After pulling that tight, I reinforced the knot with Krazy glue before cutting off the excess yarn. \u00a0Then,\u00a0I pulled the first lark’s head knot tight to secure everything onto the gold ring.<\/p>\n![\"top](\"http:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/top-piece2.jpg\")
<\/p>\n![\"yarn\"](\"http:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/yarn1.jpg\")
I hacksawed a piece of cardboard about 14″ in length from a box and used it to wrap the yarn around it 10 times. \u00a0Cutting down one end if the yarn yields this bundle of of half folded yarn. \u00a0Guess what I did with it?<\/p>\n![\"yarn](\"http:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/yarn-hangings2.jpg\")
Yup, giant lark’s head knot around the the dowel. \u00a0I made six of these across the dowel, pulling each one as tightly as possible.<\/p>\n![\"cut\"](\"http:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/cut.jpg\")

I ended up making two because I couldn’t decide which color yarn to get, so I got both. \u00a0I went with the charcoal gray first thinking I’d love it more, but I’m not as impressed with the color as I am with the linen-colored yarn. \u00a0It looks much more multi-dimensional than I thought it would, which is what I expected would be the case\u00a0with the charcoal color, but linen wins this one by far.<\/p>\n
