DIY Tapestry Wall Hanging without a loom by Minireyve

1. Clean the piece of driftwood.
2. Cut strands of yarn between 23 5/8” (60 cm) and 31 1/2” (80 cm) in length.
3. Fold a strand of pink yarn in half and wrap it around the piece of wood. Repeat 40 times with 40 strands of yarn.
4. Change colour and wrap 6 strands of green yarn at each side of the pink yarns.
5. Add 6 strands in the third colour beige at each side.
6. Make a space in the centre to enable a central knot to be added.
7. Using the same method as done with the other strands of yarn, wrap a number of green yarns around the driftwood to make a large central knot.
8. Thread the pearls through the central strands and make knots to secure them in place.
9. Cut the strands of yarn in the form of a point using scissors. It´s done!
