I love how a good and simple project can totally change the way a day is going. I've had this idea in my had for the longest time now to use macrame knots and pieces of wood to create a hanging macrame blanket ladder. It was so easy to figure out how to make it work and I'm so excited to share how you can also make a macrame blanket ladder for your home.

I challenged my group, Bohemian Interiors, to look around their house and see what they have on hand that they could create something new with. I took on the challenge myself knowing I already had many half finished projects I could just pick up and finish. Since finishing a project isn't exactly in the spirit of the challenge, I took stock of what I had on hand and went from there.

This hanging macrame blanket ladder is so easy! And the supply list is quite short.

Supplies:
Cotton Clothesline
1 x 2 whitewood board
3/16 drill bit
Power Drill
Wood Ring

DIY Macrame Blanket Ladder

Mastering easy macrame knots makes a project like this easy to complete. I'm quite glad I had the clothesline rope on hand because I think it's design for holding wet clothes made it perfect for holding the weight of blankets like this. It's sturdy, it was fun to make, and I absolutely love the way it turned out!
