RED HEART BRAIDED HARMONY WALL HANGING

Materials:

• Red Heart yarn or any other yarn in various colors
• Crochet hook or knitting needles suitable for the yarn weight
• Wooden dowel or branch for hanging
• Scissors
• Yarn needle

Instructions:

1. Decide on the size and shape of your wall hanging. You can create a rectangular, triangular, or circular shape depending on your preference.
2. Choose the colors of yarn you want to use. Red Heart yarn offers a wide range of colors to choose from, so you can create a harmonious color palette for your wall hanging.
3. Start by creating the braided strands:
   • Cut several strands of yarn in each color, making them twice as long as you want your wall hanging to be.
   • Divide the strands into groups of three or more, depending on the thickness you desire.
   • Braid the strands together, securing the ends with knots to keep them from unraveling.
4. Once you have your braided strands ready, you can start attaching them to the wooden dowel or branch:
   • Determine the spacing you want between each braid and mark the positions on the dowel.
   • Take one braided strand and fold it in half.
   • Place the folded end under the dowel, bringing the looped end over the dowel and through the folded end, creating a knot.
   • Repeat this process with the rest of the braided strands, evenly spacing them along the dowel.
5. Once all the braided strands are attached, you can add additional embellishments if desired:
   • You can attach tassels, beads, feathers, or any other decorative elements to the bottom ends of the braids.
   • Get creative and experiment with different textures and shapes to add visual interest.
6. Finally, trim the bottom ends of the braids to create a clean, even edge.
7. Attach a string or yarn to the ends of the wooden dowel for hanging your wall hanging.
