Whimsical Macrame Animal Wall Hangings
Bring a little nature-inspired magic to your walls with my handmade macrame animal collection. From sleepy giraffes to proud lions, each piece is knotted with love to brighten up your nursery or kids' room.
A wise and whimsical macrame owl in a lovely mint green color. The large, detailed eyes and wooden perch make this a charming character for any wall.
This dusty blue macrame owl shows the intricate knotting I use to create the texture of the feathers on its belly. Each owl is handcrafted with eco-friendly cotton cord.
A two-toned owl in grey and natural white. The fluffy, unraveled cord on the chest gives this little guy a soft and cuddly appearance.
This bright sky-blue and white owl is another one of my favorite color combinations. The dark wooden beads for the eyes really make them pop.
A colorful collection of my nature-inspired wall decor. Here you can see a blue owl, a multi-colored flower, and a trio of leaves hanging together.
The king of the jungle in macrame form! This lion face wall hanging with its full, fringed mane and sweet expression is a favorite for kids' rooms.
A whole pride of lion faces! I made this large batch for a custom order, and I just love how they look all together.
About this collection
I use soft, high-quality 4mm cotton cords for these animal faces, which means they are light enough to hang on nursery walls using simple adhesive hooks. Since I knot every piece by hand in my Ambala studio, I can easily adjust the color palette to match your room theme. Just let me know if you want the lion's mane or the owl's feathers in a specific shade.
There is something so special about seeing a pile of cotton cord turn into a character. I started making these animal hangings because I wanted to create decor that feels friendly and soft rather than stiff or corporate. Whether you are looking for a wise owl to watch over a study nook or a friendly lion to keep company in a playroom, these pieces are designed to add texture and personality to your space.
Why these work for kids' rooms
I know safety is the first thing on your mind when decorating for little ones. That is why I stick to 100 percent natural, biodegradable cotton cords. There are no sharp metal parts or heavy components. Even the wooden beads and rings I use are smooth and sanded. These hangings are lightweight, making them easy to move around as you redecorate or grow into a new room setup.
Customizing your creature
One of the best parts about my process is that I do not have a massive factory floor. I am working right here in my studio, which means I can tweak things. If you have a specific color scheme for your nursery, we can make it happen. Love the zebra design but want it in pink and white instead of monochrome? We can do that. Want a trio of animals on one vertical hanging to save space? I have done that for plenty of clients. Reach out with your ideas, and let's create a little friend that fits your home perfectly.
