If you want to add a backing, you can use the instructions from my smaller rainbow wall hanging because I didn’t add one to this wall hanging. I would suggest using a large poster board. The larger rainbow’s backing may not be necessary because there is only one barely discernible string there. The backing of the smaller wall hangings I create helps conceal some of the strings holding the rainbow together.
Since I hung my rainbow in my living room about a month ago, it has held together remarkably well.
Add some hot glue into the opening of the noodle and stick in the middle fold of your rope so it sticks to the glue.
I did varying lengths for each noodle, but you can do them all the same too. Now if you like that curly look once you unwind the rope, you can leave it that way, or you can use a pet brush to brush out the rope into one larger tassel.
As the finishing touch, glue some large felt balls around the perimeter of the rainbow and your sweet little project is ready to hang!
Seriously though, how amazing is that!?! I couldn’t be more pleased with how this turned out, and I’ve even been going in her room just to look at it randomly during the day. It makes me so happy!
A rope rainbow would be amazing on a large scale, and it turns out I was right! I have a tendency to take everything that is enjoyable and make it bigger.
I cut off 8′′ of another pool noodle and hot glued that portion onto the end of another full-length one to create an extra-long noodle that I could use for my outer layer.
Make sure the yarn is packed tightly and that you can’t see any of the pool noodle underneath; this will help to keep the noodle covered when you bend it into a rainbow shape.
Once your pipe is cut, make sure it’s the right length for your noodle.
Thank You For Making it This Far!
I’ve had a lot of fun making rainbow wall hangings, and the pool noodle giant version is a really fun one to make, so I hope you find this tutorial easy to follow.
If you have the time I would appreciate it if you would visit my Etsy Shop, sales on tags and other printables such as the Rainbow Wall Hanging Care Cards help me out a lot so that I can keep adding free patterns like these on my blog. I choose to not have pop up ads, I love not having ads all over my site, I don’t want to add ads other than a few affiliate links here and there to my posts as I think ads really ruin the viewing experience. I am hoping if I can continue to make sales in my Etsy Shop to help me with my finances I can continue to add freebies to my site.
