Our step-by-step instructions show you how to create beautiful wall decorations for the festive season using simple metal rings and a few accessories. See how easy it is to add a touch of handmade magic to your living space. We've put together various ways for you to craft your favourite decorations here.
Metal ring with stars
This metal ring consists of a metal ring with a diameter of 45 cm, an LED metal ring "star" with a diameter of approx. 37 cm and a metal ring "star" with a diameter of approx. 25 cm. Place the three parts in front of you in the way you want to arrange them: the metal ring on the outside and the two metal stars on the inside.

Cut two pieces of jute cord about 2 metres long. Double it and tie a so-called "lark's head knot" around the small star. You now have four threads at your disposal. Use these four threads to tie a ribbon with the spiral knot up to the larger star. Now tie this into your strand with a spiral knot and continue knotting until you reach the outer ring. Tie this into your macramé suspension as well. Continue knotting techniques and tie the cable from the battery compartment into your knotting work with a knot so that it is integrated into the knotted strand. As soon as you have created a long enough hanging hooks in this way, form a loop from the knotted threads and tie it to your last "lark's head knot".
Christmas floristry
Place two silver fir branches opposite each other so that the laces are facing outwards and tie them together in the centre with wire. In the next step, you can tie Christmas baubles to the fir branches with copper wire as desired. Fix the pine cones to your arrangement with hot glue. Once the look is right, attach everything to the metal rings with wire. Finally, tie a decorative bow to your Christmas decoration.
Keeps everything in shape and looks good:
macramé hanging tape
Ribbon decoration

For this decoration, tie four4 metal rings of different sizes together with a knotted strand (lark's head knot), as described for the metal ring star. In our example, we have made three3 spiral knots between each of the individual rings. Then glue a piece of taffeta ribbon crosswise into the smallest metal ring and knot different ribbons into the lower half of your metal rings as desired. You can then use the scissors to cut them into shape.
X-Mas wall decorations with LEDs candles
First, use a side cutter to cut a few branches from the "VBS larch hanger". Then attach these branches to the desired metal rings using enamelled copper wire. The Christmas balls used here are already attached to a wire. Use this wire to attach them directly to your rings in a decorative way. If you want to use baubles that are not equipped with a binding wire, simply use hot glue to fix them in place.

Insert the LEDs candles into the holders, attach a hanging ribbon to the eyelet and your metal rings are ready to decorate your wall.
