3. The Minimalist Brass Ring Hanging
For those who prefer a clean, modern, and mid-century aesthetic over traditional bohemian styling, the minimalist brass ring hanging is an ideal choice. Replacing the traditional wooden dowel with a shiny, circular brass ring instantly elevates the design, giving it a sophisticated, geometric edge. This project looks incredibly high-end but is actually one of the easiest and fastest designs to assemble, making it perfect for a weekend afternoon craft session.
To construct this piece, attach your cords to the bottom half of a large metal hoop. You can use a thick, chunky five-millimeter braided cotton rope to create a bold, structural look with minimal effort. By utilizing simple square knots in a descending V-pattern, you leave plenty of open space within the ring, highlighting the beautiful contrast between the metallic brass and the soft, organic cotton. Keep the fringe extra-long to emphasize the vertical lines, which can help visually elongate short walls or tight spaces in apartments.
