Want to create a Boho-style wall hanging for your Christmas decor? Here is a step by step guide to how I made this rope and wood Christmas tree wall hanging!

Traditional style Christmas decor is always tried and true, but I love decorating for the trends each holiday, too.

Ususally trends that are popular in year-round home decor are also popular that Christmas season.

The last many years, Farmhouse style decor has been popular and with it was a lot of rustic and farmhouse style Christmas decor.

There is going to still be plenty of rustic Christmas decor, but another trend has emerged: boho or bohemian style.

One of the big elements of many boho style homes are rope and wood wall hangings.

I love how this trend looks and decided that I would try to make a inspired bohemian wall hanging Christmas tree.

I made this wall mounted Christmas tree for Luke’s playroom. It’s a great way to get a Christmas tree feeling in a small space where you don’t have room for a tree.

I used wooden beads as ornaments, but you could also paint them or use colored beads for a more colorful “Christmas ornament” look.

This could also be fun with Christmas lights! Incorporate a small battery powered strand onto the dowel or hang larger lights alongside the yarn.

How to make a DIY Boho-Style Christmas Tree Rope Wall Hanging

What you need:

• 1/2″ wooden dowel
• 3 skeins white yarn
• Scissors
• Saw
• Drill
• Sander
• Wood stain
• Painter’s tape
• Green RIT dye
• Foam paint brush
• Wooden beads

What you do:

Cut dowel to desired length. I chose 2.5 feet long.

Drill a hole 1 inch in from each side on the dowel. The hole should be sized so your rope fits through but a knot will not fit through.

Sand the end and where you drilled.

Stain or paint the dowel as desired.

Wrap your yarn around something the length that you want the hanging strings to be. I used a 4 foot board. Repeat until each skein is finished.

Use scissors to cut all strands on one end of the fold.

Fold each loop under the dowel and pull the ends of the rope up and over the dowel. Repeat for all strands.

Place the hanging on a tarp or drop cloth.

Use painter’s tape to tape off a Christmas tree shape. Press firmly.

Mix RIT dye with warm water and use a foam brush to apply.

The dye will lighten significantly when dry. You can do multiple coats for a darker finish, or use less watered down dye.

Hang to dry.

Once dry, you can add wooden beads to the strands, tying a knot under each one.

Hang and enjoy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of yarn should I use for a wall hanging?

You can use any type of yarn for a wall hanging. I suggest not using too thin of a yarn or it will take a LOT of strands to get a full effect.

What type of dye should I use to dye yarn?

I prefer to use RIT fabric dye to dye yarn and fabric.

Pay attention to the material you are dying. If it is a synthetic material, such as acrylic, you will want dye for synthetic materials.

How do you finish wooden beads?

You can use wooden beads as is or paint or stain them. I prefer to finish my wood beads with Walrus Oil (or any wood board oil).
