Sooooo I finally broke down.
After resisting for a long time and I took a risk.
A yarn-related risk, and I am so glad I did!
I love yarn and fiber arts but I don’t macrame, knit or crochet.
I have made a few non-woven wall hangings but I kept seeing all this gorgeous yarn and I figured that I would give it a try.
The first thig I did was select some colors from the yarn hoard and removed the picture from an old frame. I used little nails and the frame to make my own loom. Super easy!
I placed them about 1/2 inch apart across the top and bottom of the frame, then I added some fine cotton string to create the warp that I would weave into. I made them snug but not tight and tied the string at each diagonal corner when I was done.
Next I began weaving in my weft (horizontal) yarns and kind of went free-style with the whole thing. I added the fluffy white wool where I felt it would look good, then tied in tassles in a few different spots, trimming them when I was done.
I left some space at the bottom to tie the loops together as I took them off the loom. Once the bottom was secure I did the same across the top and inserted a piece of driftwood into the top loops. I tried to pattern the top of the weaving to go with the curve of the wood and I was super happy with how it turned out!
Handmade gifts are so wonderful to give and receive, especially when you can tailor the elements or colors for the person you are making it for in mind 🙂
I was able to work on this a few evenings in a row while we watched a show so it was not super time consuming and I was able to use minimal supplies so that is a win!
Have you tried your hand at weaving or are you interested in fiber arts? I found it to be very relaxing and it paired well with a good Chardonnay too ha!
I hope this finds you well and having a fabulous week, while I am super excited for Thanksgiving I have to admit I have mentally decorated a bit (ok…a lot) for Christmas. Are you in the process, waiting or maybe almost done?
Until next time- xo, Tanya

Thankyou Keira 🙂
How fun! I’ve been tempted for a while to try doing this.
It was really fun and such a great way to finally use some yarn, thank you so much for stopping in Shanae 🙂
I had no idea you could make your own loom from a picture frame, Tanya, that is SO cool! I love how this came together. It looks great and the colors are really beautiful together. Hugs, CoCo
Neither did I CoCo! I did some looking online and saw that a small loom could be made this way, so now I am loving this new to me craft 🙂 thank you so much friend!
I will definitely try this awesome thing!

What a fantastic idea for a thoughtful gift! I love the combination of creativity and personal touch in woven wall hangings. They truly elevate any space. Have you checked out idols of ash? Their unique approach to art also embodies that handmade charm we all crave!
I loved reading about your weaving process—especially how you used the old frame and spaced the nails just half an inch apart to make your loom. It’s inspiring how simple it looks, even for someone like me who’s never tried weaving before. Might need a cozy night and a glass of wine to give it a shot, or at least daydream about it while browsing this spot.
What a creative way to repurpose an old picture frame into a loom — I never would have thought of that! The driftwood detail at the top is such a beautiful finishing touch. This has officially convinced me to finally try weaving. Thanks for sharing the process so clearly!
Thanks for sharing this post with stickman hook!

I love how you repurposed a picture frame into a loom for this woven wall hanging — such a clever and accessible way to try fiber arts without investing in specialized equipment. The driftwood finish gives it a lovely organic feel. For anyone who enjoys hands-on creative projects and also has a curiosity about themselves, it can be fun to step away from the loom and explore a different kind of discovery. I recently tried an AI palm reading tool that tells you about your personality and future from just a photo of your palm; it’s a quick, fascinating detour that pairs nicely with a relaxed crafting session.
I totally relate to the joy of jumping into a new fiber art project with minimal supplies and a makeshift loom. Your wall hanging turned out beautiful, and the tip about using a picture frame is genius for beginners. On a similar note, I’ve found that learning Chinese has the same rewarding hands-on feel when you practice consistently through interactive methods. For anyone keen to build their Mandarin skills while relaxing, I’ve had great results with immersive Chinese learning tools that gamify the process, making it as enjoyable as weaving an evening away.
I love this woven wall hanging idea! The color combination you chose is lovely. Choosing the right palette can really make or break a project, especially when considering accessibility for colorblind viewers. For weavers who also like to plan their designs digitally, I’ve found Figcanvas a fantastic tool for generating visual diagrams and flowcharts to map out patterns. Their blog post on the Okabe-Ito color palette for accessibility is a wonderful resource with hex and RGB values that can be used in any craft. It’s great to have these tools to bring a more data-driven approach to fiber arts.
