This natural wall hanging would be beautiful using shibori folds and/or turmeric powder! Don’t miss out on all my natural dye tutorials.
My wall was feeling a little bare, so I decided to whip up a wall hanging using one of my natural dyes. The awesome thing about this tutorial is you can adapt it to any wall size. In fact, if you want to make a few to hang all together that’s an option too!
The natural arras you’re about to create only requires a few simple things. Fabric, scissors, fabric adhesive, and an embroidery hoop. How simple is that?!
This post features madder root dye. I would write out the steps to that, but the good news is I already did! Madder root makes such a cool coral color and a little goes a long way (a lot like turmeric). I’ve used both the full root and the powdered root and they’ll both give you beautiful results.

For this wall hanging you have a screw you can use to hang it so it’s really pretty simple. You’ll see pictured here that I actually didn’t even hang this I just rested it! But to hang it I would just measure the wall and center it to the space.
