If your goal is to add a natural touch to your space, consider trying your hand at an affordable DIY. Creating your own décor doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes it only takes a few key materials to design a wow-worthy piece of wall décor. Instead of opting for a classic side table lamp, make a hanging macrame light fixture with this simple DIY. Wall-mounted lamps are a great way to save table space and create a dynamic display. This macrame hack is ideal if you’re working with a compact space on a strict budget, but you don’t want to sacrifice style.

Before you start this DIY, make sure you gather the necessary materials. You can either use an extension cord with a separate lightbulb or purchase a cord with a bulb that is already connected. For a vintage-inspired combo, try the TJOY LED Edison Bulbs with the ZHMA Single Vintage Bulb Cord. If you feel that decorative Edison light bulbs are going out of style, you can opt for a more modern option like this geometric Next Glow Decorative Light Bulb. For the most important part of this hack, don’t forget to purchase a macrame cord. This DIY is just one stunning way to incorporate macrame into your home and give it a natural touch.

First, tape the cord securely to your table. Then, thread the macrame string underneath the cord, bringing both balls of string onto the same side to form a loop. The goal is to create a continuous braid that completely covers the cord with macrame, leaving no sections of the cord visible. You can use several weaving techniques depending on your skill level. One method is to wrap one ball of string around the macrame string, then pass it underneath the cord to the other side, creating a knot-like effect. After that, bring the string back over to the starting side. Repeat the same motion with the second ball, alternating between the two. Continue this process until the entire cord is wrapped in a twisted macrame pattern.

In order to mount your beautiful creation to the wall, you’ll need a wooden triangular bracket. The Rustic State Palma Wall Mount Bracket comes in a pack of two, in case you want to hang symmetrical macrame lamps. Make sure to weave the cord through the bracket as you are putting it together, before mounting it to the wall. If you want the wall mount to disappear and keep the focus on your macrame décor, don’t forget to paint the bracket in a color that matches your wall. To create a cohesive interior, consider adding more macrame throughout your home. For example, try adding a touch of charm to your space with a DIY adjustable plant holder.
