7. The “Beaded Zen” Hanger

This design incorporates large, oversized wooden beads (2 inches or larger) into the “arms” of the hanger. It adds a rhythmic, sculptural quality that leans into the “Japandi” (Japanese-Scandinavian) aesthetic.

  • How to Make: Thread 3-4 large wooden beads onto each main cord branch. Secure them in place by tying a “Square Knot” above and below each bead to keep them from sliding.
  • Items to Make: 5mm natural cord, 2-inch unfinished wooden beads, and a clear matte wood sealant.
