How to make raffia wall hanging? To make a raffia wall hanging, you'll need raffia fibers, a wooden dowel or hoop, scissors, and optionally, beads or other decorative elements. Here's a simple guide: Materials: Raffia (natural or dyed) Wooden dowel or hoop Scissors String or twine (for hanging) Optional: beads, shells, or feathers for decoration Steps: Prepare Raffia: Cut long strands of raffia. For a fuller wall hanging, you’ll need a lot of strands, depending on the desired length. Attach Raffia to Dowel: Fold each strand of raffia in half, creating a loop at one end. Place the loop under the dowel, then pull the loose ends through the loop and tighten it around the dowel. Repeat this process, covering the entire dowel evenly. Trim to Shape: Once all the raffia is attached, trim the ends to your preferred shape—straight, V-shaped, or asymmetrical. Decorate: Optionally, you can add beads, feathers, or shells to some strands of raffia for a more intricate design. Hang: Tie a piece of string or twine to both ends of the dowel for hanging. You can experiment with different layers of raffia, colors, and textures to create unique designs.
