BEFORE YOU GET STARTED
This wall hanging is the source of a lotta love, made from DGY Handmade Sari Silk Ribbon Yarn and then crocheted with love by you! The designer, Hillary Thomspon aka @hillarys_hook, said she won't be taking it down after Valentine's day. "It's now part of my every day decor."

Finishing: Weave the dowel rod in and out of the spaces in the top of the wall hanging. Cut a piece of yarn long enough to reach from one end of the dowel rod to the other, maybe a bit longer depending on how much slack you want at the top of the hanger. Tie the yarn to each end of the dowel rod, close to the wall hanging. Trim ends or leave them for a little extra flair. Finished! NOTE: To help keep the dowel from sliding, put a dab of hot glue under each knot to hold in place
