Step-by-Step Guide: Crafting Your Boho Chic Fall Wall Hanging

Now that you’ve gathered your materials, let’s move on to the fun part: assembling your wall hanging. Follow these simple steps to create a beautiful and unique piece of fall decor.

Step 1: Attach the Leather Cord

Begin by applying a generous amount of hot glue to the ends of the wooden dowel on the backside. Securely attach the ends of the leather cord to the glued areas, overlapping the wood and cord by approximately 2 inches on each side. This will create a sturdy and visually appealing hanging loop.

Step 2: Arrange and Attach the Dried Wheat

Carefully lay out your 15 pieces of dried wheat, ensuring that the seed pods are neatly aligned. Apply a line of hot glue along the backside of the dowel rod. Quickly and carefully place the dowel rod onto the wheat stems, positioning it about 4-6 inches above the seed pods. This will create the triangular shape of your wall hanging.

Step 3: Secure the Wheat and Trim the Stems

Once the glue has completely dried, carefully flip the entire piece over. Apply another line of hot glue over the wheat stems on the backside to ensure they are securely attached. Allow the glue to dry thoroughly. Once dry, use your scissors to trim any excess length from the wheat stems, creating a clean and polished look.

Step 4: Add the Eucalyptus

Now it’s time to incorporate the eucalyptus. Gather the eucalyptus pieces and arrange them in a cluster on the bottom right side of the wall hanging. The eucalyptus should extend approximately two-thirds of the way across the dowel rod and two-thirds of the way up the right side of the leather cord. Use hot glue to securely attach the eucalyptus to the dowel and cord.

Step 5: Incorporate Pinecones and Flowers

Add the pinecones to the corner of the wall hanging, using them strategically to conceal any noticeable globs of hot glue. Attach the pinecones so that they point in a variety of different directions for a more natural and textured look. Finally, glue the white artificial anemone flowers in random spots surrounding the pinecones, adding a touch of elegance and visual interest.

Step 6: Mount Your Wall Hanging

The final step is to mount your beautiful boho chic fall wall hanging on the wall. You will need two small nails for this. Place one nail at the top of the leather cord loop for support. Place the second nail in the bottom left corner where the wood meets the leather cord. This is crucial for stability, as the right side of the wall hanging will be heavier than the left. Without this second nail, your wall hanging may hang crookedly.
