Macrame Leaf Wall Hanging, Cluster of Combed Leaves on a Dowel
Item details Materials, dimensions, what is in the box
Count the leaves before you choose
The three options on this listing are not three colors of the same thing. Two of them give you five leaves and one gives you three. The supplier sells them under codes that carry none of that, so it is the first thing worth checking.
- M0411, five leaves alternating tan and cream
- M0410, five leaves, all cream
- M0188, three leaves, all cream, with heavier knotted crowns at the top of each
How the leaves are made
Each leaf is a knotted central spine with the cord ends combed out either side and trimmed to a point. Combing is what gives the soft frond edge; you can see the individual fibers in the close photograph. Because the cords are cut rather than woven, a leaf can be reshaped by hand and re-combed if it is squashed in transit.
Size and placement
The supplier gives 37.5 by 17.7 inches, about 95 by 45 cm. That is tall and reasonably narrow, so it hangs well above a console, in a reading corner, or over one end of a sofa rather than centered on a wide wall. The middle leaf hangs lowest, which is what gives the cluster its V shape.

Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about the materials, care and everyday use — no fine print.
How many leaves do I get?
It depends which option you pick, and the codes do not tell you. M0411 and M0410 each give five leaves. M0188 gives three, with heavier knotted crowns at the top of each.
What is the difference between M0411 and M0410?
Color only. M0411 alternates tan and cream leaves, M0410 is all cream. Both have five leaves and the same dowel.
How big is it?
37.5 by 17.7 inches, about 95 by 45 cm, per the supplier. That is tall and fairly narrow, so it suits a console wall or a corner more than the center of a wide wall.
How are the leaves made?
Cords are knotted along a central spine, then the cut ends are combed out either side and trimmed to a point. The combing is what gives the soft frond edge instead of a hard cut line.
The leaves arrived squashed, is that normal?
Yes. Combed fiber compresses in a flat pack. Hold each spine and comb the sides outwards with your fingers or a wide toothed comb, then hang it and leave it a day.
How do I clean it?
Dust it with a soft brush, working from the spine outwards. A low suction vacuum works too. Do not wash it: wet combed fiber mats together and does not re-comb well.
How does it hang?
A cord triangle loops over both ends of the dowel, so it takes one fixing. It is light, which is why the wedding and event use in the photographs works.
Do I need a hook?
Something to hang the cord triangle from, yes. None is supplied and no fixing method is published.
What is it made of?
Combed cord on a pale wooden dowel, with small wooden beads and rings at the top of some leaves. No fiber content is published.
Will the cream match other cream decor?
Undyed cream varies between batches and between products, so treat it as a natural tone rather than a matched color. Against a bright white wall it reads slightly warm.
Where does it work best?
Above a console, in a reading corner, or over one end of a sofa. The middle leaf hangs lowest so the cluster makes a V, which sits better in a tall space than a wide one.
Can I use it at a wedding?
Yes, and the supplier photographs it that way. It is light, hangs from one hook and has an open silhouette, so it reads in photographs without competing with flowers or lettering.
Can it go outside?
Nothing in the source supports outdoor use. For an outdoor event it would be fine for a few hours in dry weather, but combed cord goes limp in damp air.
How is this different from the small leaf hangings in this collection?
Those are one or two leaves with a bead cord beside them, and they are smaller. This is a cluster of three or five leaves on a wider dowel, so it fills more wall.
Where is it made?
The supplier gives Origin as Mainland China and no brand name. The seller describes the piece as handcrafted and hand-knitted; those are its words, not ours.
How do I hang a macrame wall hanging without nails?
An adhesive strip rated above the weight, or a hook over an existing rail. This piece hangs from a cord triangle on one point and is light, which makes it one of the better candidates for a strip.
What size wall art should I hang above my sofa?
About two thirds the sofa width. This piece is 95 by 45 cm, so it suits a two seat sofa or one end of a longer one rather than the center of a three seater.
How do I decorate a big empty wall in a rental?
In sections. Several small pieces cover more wall than one of the same total area, need smaller fixings, and adapt to the next flat.
Is macrame wall art still in style?
Combed leaf and feather pieces have held up better than heavy knotted panels, because they read as botanical texture rather than as a 1970s reference.
What are cheap ways to decorate a first apartment wall?
One considered piece per wall rather than several small ones scattered. Most first flats look unfinished because things are too small and hung too high, which costs nothing to fix.
How wide should wall art be over a couch?
Two thirds of the couch, as a rule. A 95 cm piece suits a couch of about 140 cm. Over a 200 cm three seater it will read as undersized on its own.
What is boho style home decor?
Layered natural texture, warm light and a tolerance for mismatch. It is an approach rather than a set of objects, which is why one piece rarely makes a room boho by itself.
How do I get dust out of macrame?
A soft brush worked in the direction of the fiber, or a vacuum on the lowest suction. On combed leaves always work from the spine outwards, never against it.
What is the best wall decor for a nursery?
Soft, light and fixed well out of reach. Fiber leaves work because there is nothing rigid, nothing breakable and nothing to fall, provided the fixing is above the reach line.
Is macrame safe to hang above a crib?
Only well clear of the mattress and out of a standing child's reach. Anything with loose cord belongs on a different wall entirely, and no safety standard is published for this piece.
What should I put on the wall behind a dining table?
Something matt that does not bounce the pendant light back at people. Fiber is the standard answer for exactly that reason; a mirror or a glazed frame is the standard mistake.
What wall decor is good for a dorm room?
Light pieces on one small fixing, checked against your building rules. Fiber suits a dorm because it softens hard surfaces and rolls up to move out.
What are gift ideas for someone moving into a new apartment?
Something for a wall, light enough to hang without tools. This piece is 95 by 45 cm, which is large enough to matter and small enough not to assume a particular room.
How do I style a wedding welcome table?
One piece above or behind it, at standing eye level, with the signage below. A leaf cluster works because it has an open silhouette and does not compete with lettering, which is exactly what the sixth photograph shows.
Cotton or polyester macrame cord, which is better?
Cotton combs out better and feels softer; polyester holds color and shape longer. This supplier declares Polyester / Cotton, so it is a blend and the page does not claim pure cotton.
How much does a macrame wall hanging cost?
It depends entirely on whether it is studio made or imported. This is an import with no named maker. The price should reflect that, and what a listing adds is honest detail rather than provenance.
How do I fill the vertical wall space above a chair?
Something taller than it is wide, hung for a seated eye line rather than a standing one. This piece is 95 cm tall against 45 cm wide, which is the right proportion for that gap.
What is the best housewarming gift under 40 dollars?
Something small for a wall. At that budget a fiber piece gives more presence than anything framed, and it does not need tools or permission to put up.
What wall art works in a small bedroom?
One piece, narrow, hung slightly higher than eye level to draw the eye up. Several small objects make a small room read busier than it is.
Can you wash macrame in the washing machine?
No. The knots tighten unevenly, combed leaves mat together and will not comb out, and the piece comes out a different shape. Dust it instead.
How do I decorate above a reading nook armchair?
Hang for the person sitting, which is lower than instinct suggests. Art hung at standing height floats above a seated head and the corner never quite reads as finished.
What do macrame leaves symbolise?
Nothing, in any established tradition. They are a decorative shape that became popular because combed cord happens to make a convincing frond. Any deeper meaning attached to them is marketing.
What colors go with cream and tan decor?
Wood, jute, black in small amounts, and one green. Cream and tan are a base rather than a scheme, and they need either a natural material or one accent to stop reading as beige.
How do I make a rental wall look finished without paint?
Give it one focal point at the right height and leave the rest alone. Covering a wall in small objects reads as clutter; one correctly sized piece reads as a decision.
What are macrame wall hanging ideas for a wedding backdrop?
Several small pieces at staggered heights rather than one large hire piece. It costs less, it travels flat, and each piece goes on a wall afterwards.
Macrame or a tapestry for a large blank wall?
A printed tapestry covers more wall for less money; macrame gives texture and depth. For a genuinely large wall, a printed panel is the practical answer and fiber is the better looking one.
Is a 37 inch wall hanging too wide for above a twin bed?
A twin is about 100 cm wide, so 95 cm of art is almost exactly the bed width. That is slightly too wide by the usual two thirds rule, though over a twin it reads acceptably.
What are cheap wedding decor ideas that still look expensive?
Texture and repetition. Several of the same simple object at different heights reads as considered, where one cheap statement piece reads as cheap.
How do I comb out macrame fringe that has gone flat?
Hold the spine and work outwards with your fingers or a wide toothed comb. Combed cord recovers fully from flat packing, and it takes about a minute per leaf.
Does macrame fade in direct sunlight?
Dyed cord shifts in tone over years. This piece is mostly undyed cream with a tan option, so fading is less of an issue than for a strongly colored piece.
What is a good gift for a bridesmaid who likes boho decor?
Something small and textile. A leaf hanging is easy to post, hard to break, and does not require knowing anything about her flat beyond that it has a wall.
How do I hang wall art in a dorm without losing my deposit?
Adhesive strips removed the way the packet says, slowly and downwards. Most deposit damage comes from pulling a strip straight off the wall, which takes the paint with it.
What is handmade wall decor under 35 dollars?
At that price you are buying an import rather than handmade work, whatever the listing says. That is fine, as long as it is stated; this seller describes it as handcrafted and we report that as its claim.
How do I stop a wall hanging from curling at the edges?
Hang it and leave it. Curling comes from flat packing and drops out under the piece's own weight within a day or two. Weighting the bottom distorts the shape instead of fixing it.
Is a macrame wall hanging safe around cats?
Hung high, yes. A combed leaf at cat height is an invitation, and cats pull cord apart rather than just playing with it. Height is the whole answer.
How fast do handmade wall hangings ship in the US?
Check the product page for current times. This ships from the supplier rather than a domestic workshop, so treat it as a standard import timeline rather than a made to order one.
