18 Boho Wall Craft Ideas to Inspire You

Dreamcatcher Wall Hanging

Materials Needed:

• A circular hoop (wood or metal)
• Natural brown wrapping material (yarn or leather cord)
• String or thread
• Light brown and white feathers (5 or more)
• Small black beads
• Scissors
• Hot glue gun (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Wrap the Hoop: Start by wrapping the hoop with the natural brown cord until it’s completely covered. Secure the cord at the end with a knot or a dab of hot glue for extra hold.
2. Create the Web: Use the thread to weave a web inside the hoop. Begin by tying one end of the thread to the hoop, then move it across the circle, looping it to the hoop at intervals. Continue weaving inwards in a spiral pattern until you have a web-like effect.
3. Add Feathers: Cut five pieces of string and tie each one to the bottom of the hoop. Attach a bead to each string, then tie a feather to the end so it hangs freely.
4. Final Touches: Adjust the feather spacing and trim the strings to ensure everything looks balanced. You can add extra beads or tiny charms to enhance the design.

Pro Tip:

To make the dreamcatcher more colorful, try incorporating dyed feathers or beads in different colors for a playful twist.

Boho Fabric Wall Art

Materials Needed:

• A wooden frame
• Assorted fabric pieces in boho-inspired patterns (florals, stripes, dots)
• Embroidery thread
• Sewing needle
• Fabric glue or stitching tools
• Rope for hanging

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Select Fabrics: Choose four or more fabric pieces with contrasting but complementary patterns and colors. Think warm pinks, blues, and earthy tones for a perfect boho look.
2. Create the Patchwork: Cut the fabrics into sections, varying their size and shape for an asymmetrical look. Use fabric glue or sew them together to form a quilt-like piece that’s slightly larger than the wooden frame.
3. Mount the Fabric: Stretch the finished fabric over the wooden frame and secure it tightly at the back using glue, staples, or stitching. Make sure there are no wrinkles.
4. Add Decorative Stitches: Use embroidery thread to outline patterns or add small, eye-catching details. This makes the craft feel truly handmade.

Pro Tip:

Layer sheer fabrics over opaque ones for added texture and depth, giving your wall art more visual interest.

Boho Mirror Frame with Tassels

Materials Needed:

• A circular mirror
• Natural beige rope
• Tassels in cream, white, and terracotta
• Beads in varying sizes and colors (gold, dark brown, wood tones)
• Hot glue gun
• Scissors
• Hanging loop or hook

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Wrap the Mirror: Measure and cut your rope to fit around the mirror’s edge. Securely glue the rope in place around the frame, wrapping multiple layers for a chunky, boho feel.
2. Prepare the Tassels: Attach beads to your tassels for added flair. Arrange them in a pattern where colors alternate for a balanced design.
3. Fix the Tassels to the Frame: Glue the tassels to the bottom half of the rope frame. Evenly space them apart to keep the design symmetrical and pleasing to the eye.
4. Attach a Hanging Loop: Before hanging your mirror, glue or tie a loop of rope to the top of the frame for easy wall mounting.

Pro Tip:

For an extra touch, braid smaller sections of rope and use them as trim along the frame for added texture..

Boho Typography Wall Art

Materials Needed:

• A blank canvas or piece of wood
• Paints in earthy tones (black, brown, beige, terracotta)
• Paintbrushes
• Pencil and eraser
• Small stencils for decorative elements (feathers, leaves, sunbursts)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Sketch Your Design: Lightly sketch the words “yoho in boho” on your canvas. Stack the words vertically and add rough outlines for decorative elements like leaves and feathers.
2. Paint the Typography: Use a bold paint color like black or terracotta for the text. Go slow and steady to ensure clean lines.
3. Add the Embellishments: Paint the decorative accents around the text. Stick to organic shapes and a natural color palette to keep the boho theme intact.
4. Touch Up and Finish: Once the paint is dry, make touch-ups and erase any remaining pencil marks. Your typography art is ready to hang!

Pro Tip:

Add metallic accents (like gold details) to certain elements for a modern-boho blend that catches the light beautifully.

Boho Wall Shelf

Materials Needed:

• A wooden shelf
• Screws and wall mounts
• Terracotta pots
• Indoor plants (e.g., succulents, snake plants)
• Candles (varied sizes)
• A wooden board or tray
• Decorative stones or knick-knacks
• A small basket

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Mount the Shelf: First, install the shelf securely on your wall using screws and mounts. Choose a natural wood shelf that has a visible grain for a rustic touch.
2. Arrange the Plants: Pot your plants in terracotta pots and place them on either end of the shelf. Arrange the tallest plant on one side and a shorter one on the other for balance.
3. Add Decorative Elements: Place candles, a wooden board, or small baskets between the potted plants. You can fill the board with decorative stones or trinkets to add character.
4. Finish with Accessories: Add small touches like string lights or a macramé hanging behind the shelf for depth and extra boho flair.

Pro Tip:

Switch up the plants and accessories seasonally to keep the look fresh and exciting throughout the year.

Hand-Painted Wall Art

Materials Needed:

• Multiple square canvases (recommended 7 for a grid layout)
• Acrylic paints in earthy tones (brown, cream, muted blue, gold, red, etc.)
• Small and medium-sized paintbrushes
• Cotton rags or paper towels
• Stencils (optional)
• Wall hooks or adhesive strips to hang canvases

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Plan Your Design
   I like to begin by deciding on a theme or color palette. For boho wall art, I stick to neutral, earthy tones. Sketch rough ideas for each canvas, mixing geometric patterns, florals, and mandalas. By planning ahead, you ensure the artwork has a cohesive look when arranged on the wall.
2. Paint Each Canvas
   Start with a base layer on each canvas using light, warm colors like tan or cream. Once dry, I add patterns such as mandalas, feathers, or abstract shapes. Use small paintbrushes for intricate details. Don’t worry about perfection; unevenness often adds a handmade touch.
3. Add Metallic Highlights
   To give it that extra boho flair, I incorporate metallic paints like gold or bronze in accents. For example, painting circular mandala outlines or dots. These metallic touches catch the light and elevate the overall look.
4. Arrange and Hang
   After the canvases dry, I play around with the grid arrangement on the floor. Once satisfied, I secure them on the wall using wall hooks or adhesive strips. For a dynamic look, vary the size or spacing slightly between canvases.

Pro Tip:

Combine freehand designs with stencils to balance creativity and precision. Stencils are great for creating symmetrical shapes or patterns without too much effort.

Driftwood Wall Art

Materials Needed:

• A piece of driftwood or natural branch
• String or twine
• Small dreamcatcher kits or DIY dreamcatcher materials (metal hoops, threads, beads, feathers, etc.)
• Hot glue gun
• Scissors

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare the Driftwood
   Start by cleaning the driftwood and sanding it lightly if needed. This ensures it’s smooth and free of dirt. I also like to decide the orientation of the wood, whether horizontal or slightly angled, depending on the wall space.
2. Create Dreamcatchers
   Using the dreamcatcher kits or hoops, I weave webs using thread or yarn. Add beads, feathers, or shells at the ends to give each dreamcatcher its unique design. The great thing about this step is how customizable it is.
3. Attach the Dreamcatchers
   Once completed, I cut strings to the desired length and tie each dreamcatcher to the driftwood. Vary the lengths to create a cascading effect. Use a hot glue gun to secure the strings in place, if needed.
4. Hang the Driftwood
   Finally, attach a strong piece of twine to the ends of the driftwood to hang it on the wall. The natural material blends beautifully into any boho-inspired decor.

Pro Tip:

Mix dreamcatchers with other elements, such as small macramé hangings, to add more texture and dimension.

Fabric Wall Tapestry

Materials Needed:

• A large piece of patterned fabric or tapestry
• Wooden dowel or curtain rod
• String or rope
• Scissors
• Fringes or tassels (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Choose the Fabric
   Look for a piece of fabric with intricate patterns in warm, earthy colors like red, mustard yellow, or orange. I usually opt for tapestries with circular designs or paisley patterns for that authentic boho feel.
2. Secure the Dowel
   Fold the top edge of the fabric over the dowel and glue or sew it in place to create a loop for hanging. Adding a rod gives the tapestry structure and ensures it hangs flat against the wall.
3. Add Decorative Touches
   If the fabric feels plain, I incorporate fringes or tassels at the bottom. It’s a small detail that adds a lot of character to the piece. Attach these using a sewing kit or a spot of hot glue.
4. Hang with Rope
   Tie a piece of rope or string to each end of the dowel, creating a loop to hang the tapestry. Adjust the length based on your wall space. I love the simplicity of this process–it takes just minutes!

Pro Tip:

For maximum visual appeal, choose fabrics made of natural materials like cotton or linen. These textures align perfectly with the boho aesthetic.

Feather Wall Decor

Materials Needed:

• A small wooden stick or rod
• Natural or decorative feathers in varying colors
• String or thread
• Scissors
• Beads (optional)
• Hot glue gun

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Source the Feathers
   I look for a mix of natural feathers and colorful options. Try to find some with patterns, like striped or dipped ends, to keep things visually interesting.
2. Attach the String
   Cut multiple pieces of string in different lengths. Tie each string to the stick, spacing them evenly. I like to vary the lengths a little for a staggered effect.
3. Add Feathers and Beads
   Attach feathers to the ends of the strings using a knot or a drop of glue. Slide beads onto the strings to add extra details. This part is super fun since no two strings will look exactly alike once you’re done.
4. Finish and Hang
   With the strings complete, tie another piece of string to either end of the stick to act as a hanger. Hang your creation on the wall and admire the natural, ethereal beauty!

Pro Tip:

Use feathers in complementary shades from your room’s color palette to create a sense of harmony..

Geometric Wall Design with Tape

Materials Needed:

• Washi tape in pastel shades (pink, green, gray, etc.)
• A ruler
• Pencil
• Scissors
• Small potted plant for decoration (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Plan Your Design
   Before sticking anything on the wall, I draft the triangle layout lightly using a pencil. Use a ruler to ensure straight lines and perfect edges.
2. Apply the Tape
   Begin adhering the washi tape to outline the triangles. Press down firmly as you work to ensure the tape sticks securely. I always overlap tape edges slightly for clean corners.
3. Add Layers and Overlaps
   Once the base shapes are complete, I layer additional small triangles on top to add depth. This step adds complexity and visual interest to the design.
4. Finalize the Decor
   Finish the look by placing a small potted plant or a similar boho-inspired object near the design. It’s a simple way to tie the geometric shapes into the larger room decor.

Pro Tip:

Use removable wall-safe tape so you can easily make adjustments or replace colors as your style evolves.

Pompom Wall Hanging

Materials Needed:

• Yarn in various colors (red, pink, yellow, white, etc.)
• A small wooden dowel or stick
• Scissors
• A fork (optional for making pom-poms)
• Craft glue (optional for securing knots)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Create the Pom-Poms
   Start by wrapping yarn around your fingers or a fork about 50–60 times, depending on how fluffy you want your pom-poms to be. Once you’ve wrapped enough, slide the yarn off carefully and tie its center with a separate piece of yarn. Cut through the loops at both ends, fluff it up, and trim as needed.
2. Choose a Formation
   I like to layout my pom-poms first to figure out the arrangement. For a triangular or V-shaped structure, start with more pom-poms at the top and gradually decrease the number as you move downward. This helps you visualize how it will hang.
3. Attach to the Stick
   Tie each pom-pom to its string and attach them to the wooden dowel by knotting securely. Vary the string lengths slightly; this adds charm to the cascading design. Ensure they’re evenly spaced along the stick.
4. Arrange and Hang
   Once completed, tie a piece of twine or string to the two ends of the wooden dowel, creating a loop for hanging. Now find the perfect spot to showcase your pom-pom masterpiece!

Pro Tip:

Use yarn in complementing shades to create an ombré effect or mix and match colors for a playful vibe.

Hanging Beaded Garland

Materials Needed:

• Various beads in different shapes and sizes
• A sturdy piece of string or twine
• A thin wooden branch or dowel
• Scissors
• Tape (to make threading easier)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Sort Your Beads
   I recommend laying out the beads to create a pattern. Alternate sizes, shapes, and colors like turquoise, orange, or brown for a dynamic, boho vibe.
2. Thread the Beads
   Wrap tape around the end of your string to create a makeshift needle. Thread the beads onto the string in your chosen pattern. Repeat this process for several strands.
3. Attach the Strands to the Dowel
   Once the strands are ready, tie them securely to the wooden branch or dowel. Vary the string lengths to create a tiered or draped effect. I always double-knot to make sure they stay in place.
4. Finish and Hang
   Add a loop of twine at both ends of the dowel for hanging. Your beaded garland is now ready to bring life to your walls!

Pro Tip:

Glue the first and last bead on each strand to ensure they don’t slide off.

Hanging Tassel Wall Decor

Materials Needed:

• Yarn in multiple colors (cream, teal, mustard yellow, etc.)
• A wooden branch or rod
• Scissors
• String or twine

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Make the Tassels
   Take a book or cardboard piece, wrap yarn around it 40–50 times, then cut across one side to create loops. Tie the top tightly to create the tassel’s head, then trim the bottom to even out the ends.
2. Decide the Arrangement
   Lay the tassels on a flat surface to plan the order. I like to create symmetry by arranging colors around a central focal point, like the teal tassel in the provided image.
3. Attach to the Branch
   Use string or twine to attach each tassel to the branch. Ensure they’re evenly spaced and secure each knot well to avoid slipping.
4. Hang and Style
   Tie a length of string to both ends of the branch to create a hanger. Place it on your wall and adjust the tassels to fan them out nicely.

Pro Tip:

Mix different yarn textures for added depth and character.

Macramé Plant Hangers

Materials Needed:

• Cotton rope
• Wooden beads
• A pair of scissors
• Potted plants or succulents
• Ceiling hooks (for hanging)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Cut and Arrange the Rope
   Cut four pieces of rope approximately three times the desired hanging length. Fold them in half and tie them together into a large loop at the top.
2. Knot the Ropes
   Divide the rope into pairs and tie knots about four inches below the starting loop. Next, switch the pairs and tie another row of knots slightly below the first. Repeat this step until the net design begins to take shape.
3. Add Beads and Place the Pot
   Slide decorative wooden beads onto select strands for embellishment. Place a potted plant into the center of the hanger, ensuring the knots hold it securely.
4. Hang the Planters
   Attach the top loop to a ceiling hook and adjust as needed. The simplicity of this structure makes it perfect for showcasing multiple plants.

Pro Tip:

Paint the wooden beads to match your room decor for a pop of color!

Macramé Wall Hanging

Materials Needed:

• Cotton macramé cord
• A wooden dowel
• Wooden beads
• Scissors
• Comb (optional for tassel fluffing)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cord
   Cut several pieces of cord, each twice the desired length of your hanging. Measure and fold them in half, then attach them to the dowel using a lark’s head knot.
2. Create Patterns with Knots
   I love combining square knots and diagonal clove hitch knots to form diamonds or chevrons. Adjust the tension for a more dynamic design.
3. Add Embellishments
   Incorporate wooden beads into the design. Tie them into the center of certain patterns, or use them as dividers between knots for extra intrigue.
4. Finish the Fringe
   Trim the bottom cords to form a sleek V-shape or leave them straight for a minimalist look. Comb out the ends for a softer finish.

Pro Tip:

Combining cream-colored cords with natural wood beads gives the macramé piece a timeless boho charm.

Woven Wall Basket Display

Materials Needed:

• Woven baskets of varying sizes (you can find these in thrift stores or online)
• Command hooks or small nails for wall mounting
• Optional greenery (small potted plants or artificial leaves)
• A level to ensure straight mounting

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Source Your Baskets
   I love starting this project by picking out a collection of woven baskets. Aim for natural tones like beige, cream, or brown, and mix in a few with interesting patterns or darker accents for contrast. The variation in sizes and designs will add depth and visual interest.
2. Plan Your Layout
   Before placing anything on the wall, I arrange the baskets on the floor to experiment with different layouts. You can go for a circular arrangement, a cascading design, or even an asymmetrical collage. This planning makes installation much easier.
3. Mount the Baskets
   Using command hooks or nails, secure each basket to the wall. If a basket has no natural hole or string for hanging, you can attach a small hook or loop to the back using hot glue. I like to start with the largest basket at the center and build outward.
4. Add Greenery
   To add a touch of life to your display, include small potted plants or sprigs of greenery in some of the baskets. You can use faux plants to make upkeep easier or go for small succulents if real plants are more your style.

Pro Tip:

Group baskets in odd numbers, such as three, five, or seven. This creates a more harmonious and natural look for the display.

Vintage Plate Wall Art

Materials Needed:

• Decorative plates in various designs (vintage-style florals, geometric patterns, etc.)
• Plate hangers or adhesive plate hooks
• A soft cloth for cleaning the plates
• A tape measure and pencil for marking placement

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Select Your Plates
   I recommend choosing plates with a mix of floral, geometric, and bold colors for a cohesive but varied look. Thrift stores and flea markets are treasure troves for finding one-of-a-kind vintage designs.
2. Draft Your Layout
   Arrange the plates on a large sheet of paper or the floor to figure out the spacing. I prefer a loose grouping where the plates are close but not touching. Use a tape measure to estimate where each plate will go on the wall.
3. Attach Plate Hangers
   If your plates don’t already have hardware, add adhesive plate hooks or spring-loaded hangers to the back. Ensure they’re secure so the plates don’t fall. This step may take a bit of patience, but trust me, it’s worth it!
4. Hang the Plates
   Use a pencil to lightly mark the wall for each plate’s placement, and double-check with a level to avoid crooked lines. Start by hanging the centerpiece plate and work your way outward. Step back frequently to ensure everything lines up visually.

Pro Tip:

To avoid chipping or falling, always test the strength of the plate hangers before mounting them. Safety first!

Wall of Polaroids

Materials Needed:

• Printed Polaroid-style photos (real Polaroids or printed replicas on photo paper)
• String or twine (natural jute twine works beautifully for a boho vibe)
• Mini wooden clothespins
• Small nails, tacks, or adhesive hooks
• Scissors

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Print Your Photos
   Start by selecting your favorite photos that evoke happy memories. I like mixing candid shots of family and friends with scenic travel photos. If you don’t have Polaroids, you can print photos in a Polaroid-like format using online services or at home.
2. Prepare the Layout
   Cut the string or twine into equal lengths for hanging rows. I usually aim for three rows, but adjust depending on your wall space. Tie a small loop at each end of the strings for easy hanging.
3. Set Up the Rows
   Attach nails, tacks, or adhesive hooks to the wall for each row of twine. Space them evenly to create clean, straight lines. Loop the twine over the hooks and pull it taut so it doesn’t sag once photos are clipped on.
4. Clip the Photos
   Use mini wooden clothespins to attach the photos to the strings. Alternate landscapes and portraits for variety, and feel free to add personal touches like small sprigs of dried flowers or handwritten notes clipped alongside the photos.

Pro Tip:

Position the display near a cozy corner with a plant nearby to complete the boho aesthetic. Fairy lights woven around the twine add a dreamy, magical touch!nt shapes and finishes (such as matte, glossy, or metallic) to add depth and character to your design.
