These DIY Saree Wall Hangers Bring Culture And Art To Your Home Decor

The most expensive part of hanging wall décor is usually choosing the right frames for your art, whether you're adding a second-hand piece or something entirely brand new. But even your most interesting artworks might look stifled by a boring frame. For a little project inspiration, look into your closet or head to your local saree shop! With a simple DIY using an embroidery hoop and saree, you can easily create an artwork mount that adds a pop of design to the art in your home. 

Sarees come in a wide variety of brilliant colors and patterns that make an excellent backdrop for any piece of artwork. If you're unfamiliar, sarees are a Southeast Asian dressing material that consists of large pieces of decorative fabric which can be wrapped around the body in a similar fashion to a robe. While they are meant to be worn, their vibrant colors and intricate patterns can also make saree fabrics the perfect accent to any interior design. When accompanied with a cheap embroidery hoop, this can be the perfect way to decorate your walls without the need for picture frames, and it shows off the intricate details featured on your saree of choice without the need to wear it. This simple DIY is not only budget-friendly, but it also doesn't require cutting, meaning you can preserve your fabric for the next time you might want to wear it or style it in your home! To get started, grab your saree or other patterned fabric of choice, an embroidery hoop, and a can of spray paint. 

For this simple trick, pick up a few large embroidery hoops, such as these guofa 11-inch Embroidery Hoops. Your hoop can be any size, but you want to make sure the hoop is larger than the piece of artwork you plan to hang in it. If desired, spray paint the hoop in any color that you feel will accent your space, but black is usually a safe bet. Once your embroidery hoops have dried, you can take the top piece and lay it over your saree fabric. It is important to pick a layout that is going to properly display the pattern, so move the fabric around until you're satisfied. Once you're finished, simply slide the back of the hoop inside the top piece and tighten it until it's snug, pulling the fabric taut within the hoop. If there is extra fabric hanging from the bottom of the hoop, tie it together to give it a more polished, draping look. Attach your unframed art print or drawing and hang the hoop on the wall.

These saree embroidery hoops make versatile additions that can serve as artwork themselves. While some fans of this DIY use old sarees they have on hand, nearly any large fabric will work. Try lace for a romantic look, old baby blankets for a nostalgic nursery, or novelty prints for something fun and seasonal. You can even throw some greenery and flowers around the embroidery hoop to create a wonderful wreath, perfect for any season. There are so many creative ways to incorporate this embroidery hoop art into your home; the possibilities are endless!
