Shag Hoop Art

We’re bringing some popular decor from the past back with this month’s craft collection! Featuring tons of texture, this shag wall hanging has a vintage look we absolutely love. The fluffy layer at the top especially reminds us of brown shag carpets from the 70s.
You can make this beautiful hoop art for yourself following our step-by-step tutorial below. Since there are multiple layers and materials to weave, we think this is a great intermediate craft project.

This shag wall hanging would look gorgeous in a living room, bedroom, or even a kid’s playroom or nursery. The overall design is fairly neutral, but you can always switch up the colors to complement your home decor. Also, if you’re not quite ready to recreate this design, you can browse the rest of our wall hangings to find a simpler version.
