Macrame Leaf Wall Hanging, Sage and Cream Swag Garland
Item details Materials, dimensions, what is in the box
Nearly everyone who searches macrame wall hanging pictures one vertical panel on one nail, and then buys this and finds it is the other shape. It hangs sideways. One cord threaded with pale wood beads, fixed at two points on the wall, with about fourteen leaves dropping off it on cords of different lengths. The middle dips on purpose. One hook will not do.
What it is
A macrame leaf wall hanging built as a swag: about fourteen flat leaves, counted off the widest photograph, alternating sage green and cream along one beaded cord. Each leaf is a knotted spine with the cord combed out on both sides into a leaf shape, and each one hangs from its own dropper with a round wood bead above it. The second photograph is the macro shot, and it is the proof: that is combed fringe you can rake apart with a finger, not a printed or molded leaf.
What you get
One garland, one piece. This listing has no set of three option. About fourteen leaves on droppers of staggered length, so they hang as a curtain instead of a straight row. Sage green and cream alternating inside the same piece, so the two tones arrive together. Round natural wood beads along the cord and one above every leaf. One colorway, listed as green. It is the only version made.
Where it goes
This is for the wide wall that swallows a single framed print. In the photographs it spans most of the width of a wooden cot in a boho nursery, reaches across a double headboard wall, and runs the length of an oak console. Above a couch, behind a wedding table, along a dorm wall that will not take nails: it fills sideways, which is the one thing a vertical macrame panel cannot do.
Hanging it
Two anchor points, level with each other, one at each end of the beaded cord. Two hooks split the load, so adhesive hooks on sound plaster are a fair rental answer. The supplier states no weight, so weigh it on a kitchen scale when it lands and buy hooks rated above that number. Hang one end first, then slide the second hook until the dip sits even.

The honest limits
No width, no drop, no weight. The supplier publishes none of the three and I will not invent a number to close a sale. Judge the span from the nursery and bedroom photographs, measure your own wall, and if you need a guaranteed reach above a king bed, buy a piece that prints its dimensions.
It is not handmade. The attribute table lists the craft as knit, the brand name as none, and the origin as Guangdong, Mainland China. It is not cotton and it is not organic. The cord is polyester and acrylic, which is why it holds sage green and does not go musty on a damp wall. The wood beads are small parts, so hang it out of reach of anyone who still mouths things. No certification, testing or flame rating is published for it, so keep it away from candles and heaters.
At 72.01 dollars it costs more than a printed canvas of similar reach, and the reason to pick it anyway is the shape: fourteen leaves spread across the wall on two hooks, sage and cream in one piece, nothing rigid to crack if the cat gets ambitious.
Where it earns its place
- Above a cot, where its width matches the cot rail and there is nothing rigid to fall
- Across a headboard wall, filling width that a single framed print cannot
- Above a console or a shelf run in a living room

Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about the materials, care and everyday use — no fine print.
Is this one piece or several?
One piece. A single beaded cord carries about fourteen leaves on droppers of different lengths. You hang the cord, not the leaves.
Does it hang from one hook or two?
Two. It is a swag, so it is fixed at both ends and allowed to dip in the middle. On a single hook the leaves bunch together and the shape is lost.
How wide is it?
The supplier publishes no width, no drop and no leaf count. In the photographs it spans about the width of a cot rail and, in another frame, most of a double headboard, but we will not turn a photograph into a measurement.
What colors does it come in?
One combination only: sage green and cream, alternating along the run. There is no second colorway to choose.
What are the leaves made of?
Combed cord. Each leaf is a knotted central spine with the cord ends brushed out either side and trimmed into a leaf outline. The beads are pale natural wood.
Are the leaves stiff or soft?
Soft. They are brushed fiber, not moulded or printed, so they move in a draught and can be reshaped with your fingers if they get squashed in transit.
Is this safe above a crib?
No product page can answer that for your room. It carries loose cords and small wooden beads, and no safety standard is published for it. If you use it in a nursery, fix it well clear of the mattress and out of a standing child's reach.
How do I clean it?
Dust it with a soft brush or a low suction vacuum. Do not wash it, and do not wet the beads. No care instruction is published by the supplier.
The leaves arrived flat, is that normal?
Yes. Combed fiber compresses in a flat pack. Comb each leaf out with your fingers from the spine outwards and it recovers its shape.
Does it only work in a nursery?
No. The photographs use a nursery, a living room console and a double bedroom. Anywhere you need width rather than height, and where a rigid framed piece would feel heavy, it works.
Can it go outside or on a covered porch?
No. The attribute table records indoor use, and combed fiber outdoors goes limp and gray quickly.
Is any hardware included?
No. The supplier lists no hooks, no nails and no instructions, and none appear in any photograph. You will need two fixings of your own.
How is this different from an artificial leaf garland?
This is fiber, not plastic foliage. It is not pretending to be a real plant: the leaves are clearly knotted cord with a combed edge, so it reads as craft rather than as a fake plant.
Where does it come from?
The attribute table gives Origin as Mainland China and no brand name. Nothing in the source describes a workshop or a maker.
How high should I hang it above a bed?
Fix the ends high enough that the lowest leaf clears the pillows by a comfortable margin, so nobody catches it sitting up. Because the drops are staggered, judge the clearance from the longest leaf, not the shortest.
How do I hang wall decor without putting holes in the wall?
Use two adhesive hooks, one at each end of the beaded cord. This piece hangs from two points rather than one nail, so each hook carries about half of it instead of all of it. Weigh the garland on a kitchen scale when it arrives and buy hooks rated above that number, since the supplier states no weight.
What wall decor is renter friendly?
Soft pieces that hang from hooks instead of screws, and this is one of them. It is cord, combed fringe and wood beads with two anchor points, no frame, no glass and no bracket, so nothing about hanging it needs a drill or a wall plug.
What is macrame wall art?
Macrame wall art is decor made from knotted cord rather than woven cloth. On this piece each leaf is a knotted central spine with the cord combed out on both sides into a fringe leaf shape, which is why the leaves look soft and slightly uneven rather than flat and printed.
What can I hang above a console table?
A horizontal piece, so the decor follows the shape of the table. One photograph shows this garland above an oak console, where the beaded cord runs the length of the table and the staggered leaves fill the gap between the tabletop and the ceiling.
What wall decor works in a nursery?
Fabric and cord pieces with no glass and no hard frame. This garland is combed synthetic fringe on cord with wood beads, hung from two hooks, so there is no glazing to crack, and the sage and cream tones sit inside a boho nursery scheme without going pink or blue.
What size wall art do I need above a queen bed?
Something close to the width of the headboard. The supplier publishes no width for this garland, so use the bedroom photograph, where the swag reaches across a double headboard wall, and measure your own wall before ordering rather than trusting a guess.
How do I make a blank wall look finished without paint?
Hang one wide piece instead of several small ones. This swag does that in a single object: one beaded cord on two hooks, about fourteen leaves falling at staggered lengths, so the eye reads a filled band of wall rather than a lonely square.
How do I hang a macrame wall hanging?
Most macrame hangings sit on a dowel and one hook, and this one does not. It is a swag with two ends, so you fix a hook at each end of the beaded cord and let the middle dip. Set both hooks at the same height, hang one end, then move the second until the droop looks even.
What wall decor is safe over a crib?
Nothing hard, nothing glazed, and nothing within a baby's reach. This garland is cord and fringe with wood beads, which removes the glass and frame problem, but the beads are small parts and the droppers are cords, so it belongs on the wall above and away from the crib, never strung across it.
What color wall decor goes with sage green?
Cream, warm wood and unbleached linen, which is the pairing this piece makes for you. The leaves alternate sage green and cream along a cord of natural wood beads, so it sits easily against oak, rattan and white walls, and it fights with cool gray and chrome.
How do I decorate a dorm wall without damaging it?
Two adhesive hooks and a soft piece, which is exactly what this garland needs. There is no frame, no glass and no screw, and each end of the beaded cord gives you something to loop over a hook. Check your housing rules on adhesive strips first and pull the tab straight down when you take them off.
What is a good gift for someone moving into a first apartment?
Wall decor that needs no drill and no landlord conversation. This garland is 72.01 dollars, hangs on two hooks, and covers a bare wall on day one, which is the actual problem in a first apartment. Sage green and cream also go with rented magnolia walls and secondhand wood.
How wide should wall art be above a bed?
Close to the headboard width is the usual rule. No width is published for this garland, so use the bedroom photograph, where the swag reaches across a double headboard wall, and hold a tape measure against your own wall before you commit.
How do I hang something heavy on a rental wall?
Split the weight across two fixings instead of one, which is how this piece hangs anyway. Fix a hook at each end of the beaded cord, and choose hooks rated above the weight you measure at home, because the supplier states no weight for it.
Can you use command hooks for wall hangings?
Yes for a soft piece like this one, as long as the hook rating clears the weight. This garland is cord, combed fringe and wood beads with two hanging points, so each adhesive hook takes roughly half. Weigh it on a kitchen scale first, since no weight is published.
How do I hang a garland on a wall?
Two hooks, one at each end, set level, then let the middle dip. This garland is meant to sag between its two anchor points, so pulling the beaded cord tight into a straight line makes the staggered leaf lengths look wrong.
Is polyester macrame as good as cotton?
It is different, and for a wall piece the differences mostly favor the synthetic. This garland is polyester and acrylic by the supplier's attribute table, so the cord does not soak up damp, does not go musty in a humid room, and holds its sage dye. Cotton feels softer in the hand, so if you want pure cotton, this is not it.
What wall decor is good for a baby shower?
Something wide, soft and reusable in the nursery afterwards. This swag hangs on two hooks behind a table or across a bare wall, the sage green and cream reads as neutral for any baby, and it goes up over the cot the following week instead of into a bin bag.
What should I hang behind a wedding ceremony table?
A horizontal piece that still reads from the back of the room. This garland is a two point swag, so it can be strung between two hooks or two stands behind the table, and the staggered leaves photograph as a soft band with the wall showing through.
What is a leaf garland?
A leaf garland is a horizontal cord with leaves hanging from it, fixed at two points. On this one the cord is threaded with round wood beads and carries about fourteen macrame leaves on droppers of different lengths, so they fall as a staggered curtain rather than a straight row.
How do I hang wall decor on plaster walls?
For a light cord piece like this, two adhesive hooks on sound plaster or two small picture hooks are enough. Old lath and plaster crumbles, so put the two hooks where the wall sounds solid when you tap it, and hang one end to test before you fix the second.
Does macrame wall art collect dust?
Combed fringe does collect dust, and this piece has about fourteen fringed leaves, so plan on a vacuum brush pass every few weeks. Synthetic cord gives dust up more easily than cotton does, and a shake outdoors handles most of it.
What neutral wall decor goes with wood furniture?
Cream and sage against natural wood beads, which is what this garland already is. It was photographed above an oak console and a wooden cot, and the round pale beads pick up the same tone as unpainted oak and rattan.
How do I fill the space above a headboard?
Go wide and low rather than tall. Fix this swag's two hooks above the headboard so the leaves drop into the empty band, and the deliberate dip in the cord follows the line of the pillows underneath.
What wall decor is not breakable around kids?
Cord and fabric pieces, and this is one: no glass, no ceramic, no frame. If it comes off the wall it lands as a soft pile, though the wood beads are small parts, so keep it out of reach of anyone who still puts things in their mouth.
Is a wall garland better than a canvas above a bed?
For a wide empty wall, a garland covers more of it and needs no drill. A canvas gives you one rectangle and a bracket; this swag gives you about fourteen leaves spread on two hooks and something soft hanging above your head. A canvas wins if you want a defined edge or you hate dusting fringe.
How long does it take to ship handmade wall decor?
This piece is not handmade, so that timeline does not apply to it. Check the product page for the current shipping estimate before you order.
How many leaves does this wall hanging have?
About fourteen, counted off the widest product photograph. The supplier publishes no leaf count, so treat fourteen as what the pictures show rather than a promised number, and expect them to alternate sage green and cream along the beaded cord.
Are the sage green and cream leaves in the same piece?
Yes, they alternate along the beaded cord in the one garland. The listing does not split them into a sage version and a cream version, so the two tone effect is what arrives.
What is this wall hanging made of?
Polyester and acrylic cord with round natural wood beads, according to the supplier's attribute table. That table also lists the craft of weaving as knit, and it publishes no fiber percentages, so I cannot give you a split between the two fibers.
Where is this made?
Guangdong, Mainland China, per the supplier's attribute table. The same table lists no brand name, so this garland arrives unbranded.
Is this handmade?
No. The supplier's attribute table lists the craft as knit, the brand name as none and the origin as Guangdong, so this garland is not described as handmade here, whatever other listings of the same item say.
What are the dimensions of this garland?
The supplier states no width, no drop and no weight, and I will not invent numbers to fill the gap. The photographs are the only scale reference you have: it spans most of the width of a wooden cot in the nursery frame and reaches across a double headboard wall in the bedroom frame.
Will this fit above a king bed?
I cannot promise that it will, because no span is published for it. In the photographs it covers a double headboard wall, so a king wall is a stretch, and anyone who needs a guaranteed reach should buy a piece that prints its width.
How much does it weigh?
Not stated by the supplier, so weigh it on a kitchen scale before you choose hooks. It is cord, combed fringe and wood beads, so it is light for its width, but light is an adjective and I would rather you had the number from your own scale.
How many hooks do I need?
Two, one for each end of the beaded cord. A third hook in the middle only makes sense if you want to kill the dip, and killing the dip removes the shape this garland was built around.
Why does the middle sag?
The dip is intentional. The garland hangs from two points and the beaded cord is meant to curve between them, which is why the middle leaves sit lower than the ones near the hooks.
Can I change how the leaves hang?
Move the two hooks first, since raising, lowering or widening them changes the whole drape. Individual leaves can shift along the cord if the beads allow it, but cutting or reknotting a dropper cord is permanent, so try the hooks before the scissors.
Will adhesive hooks work on brick or tile?
Adhesive hooks fail on rough brick, so use masonry fixings there and follow the hook maker's guidance on tile. The only fixed requirement this garland has is two anchor points at the same height; how you get those anchors into the wall depends on the wall.
Can I hang this outside?
Only under cover, and even then I would bring it in. Polyester and acrylic cord handles damp better than cotton, but the wood beads and combed fringe are not built for weather and nothing here is sold as outdoor rated.
Can I put this in a bathroom?
Yes, more comfortably than a cotton piece, because the cord is polyester and acrylic and does not drink up steam. The wood beads still take on moisture over time, so a windowless shower room is harder on it than a bathroom with a working fan.
Can I hang it above a fireplace or near candles?
Keep it away from open flame and direct heat. This is synthetic cord with no flame rating published for it, so a working fireplace, a candle shelf or a wall heater is the wrong place for fourteen hanging fringe leaves.
Will a cat or a toddler pull it down?
Probably, if they can reach it, because fourteen dangling cords are an invitation. Hang it high, keep the lowest leaf above reach, and use hooks you can check by eye, since two adhesive hooks are only as good as the surface behind them.
Does it work in a dorm room?
Yes, and it is one of the few wide pieces that goes up on two adhesive hooks. It covers a broad stretch of painted dorm wall, hangs without a single nail, and packs down soft at the end of term instead of needing bubble wrap.
Is macrame still in style?
Knotted wall pieces still pull 10K to 100K US searches a month under macrame wall hanging alone, so the category is alive. What has moved on is the shape: a sage and cream two tone swag across the wall reads current, while the heavy single panel on a dowel reads 2019.
Why is this 72.01 dollars?
72.01 is the price on this listing, and it is not the cheapest version of this shape on the internet. What it buys is a wide multi part piece, about fourteen separately hung leaves on one beaded cord, plus a page that tells you the cord is polyester and acrylic and that no dimensions are published.
Is there a cheaper way to fill the same wall?
Yes, a wide printed canvas or three small frames usually costs less than 72.01 dollars. Those need nails and give you a hard edge, and they will not move when the window is open, which is the trade against fourteen hanging leaves.
How is this different from a wall tapestry?
A tapestry is one flat cloth panel pinned at the corners, and this is a cord with about fourteen separate leaves hanging off it. The garland has depth and gaps, so your wall color shows between the leaves, and it goes up on two hooks rather than four pins.
Is this better than artificial plant wall decor?
It puts green on the wall without plastic foliage: fourteen fringed leaves in sage green and cream instead of molded ivy. Fake vines read as plastic at close range and trap dust in every molded leaf, while combed fringe reads as texture, though it still wants a vacuum brush now and then.
Does it come with hooks or hanging hardware?
Not stated by the supplier, so plan on buying two hooks separately. Nothing in the source lists included hardware, and I would rather you had hooks waiting than assume they are in the bag.
Will the fringe shed?
Combed fringe drops a few loose fibers early on, mostly from the leaf tips. Trim stray strands with sharp scissors instead of pulling them, since a pull can loosen the knotted spine that holds the leaf shape together.
Will the sage green fade in a sunny window?
Polyester and acrylic hold dye better in daylight than natural cotton does, which is one honest upside of synthetic cord. No lightfastness rating is published for this piece, so on a wall that takes hard afternoon sun I would still expect some change over years.
Can I machine wash it?
No. Spot clean the leaves with cold water and mild detergent and dry it hanging, because a machine will tangle fourteen dropper cords and flatten the combed fringe that makes the leaves read as leaves.
How does it arrive?
Folded or coiled, since the whole piece is soft cord and beads; the supplier publishes no packaging detail. Expect creases in the fringe when you open it and hang it for a few days before you judge the drape.
Does it have a brand label?
No. The attribute table lists Brand Name as none, so it arrives unbranded, which also means there is no maker's tag to look up for care instructions.
Is this organic or fair trade certified?
No, and no certification of any kind is published for it. The supplier lists the material as polyester and acrylic and records no high concern chemicals in its attribute table, and that is the whole of what the source says.
What else should go on the same wall?
Very little, which is the point of a wide swag. If you want more, put small wood or rattan pieces well outside the two hooks and leave the space under the dip empty, so the staggered leaf lengths still register.
Is this a good housewarming gift?
It works if the recipient rents, because it goes up on two hooks with no drill and no landlord email. At 72.01 dollars it sits at the top of a housewarming budget, and sage green with cream is safe against most rented wall colors.
Who should not buy this?
Anyone who needs a guaranteed width, anyone who wants pure cotton, and anyone picturing a hanging that centers on one nail. No span is published for this piece, the cord is polyester and acrylic, and it is a two point swag by design.
