Looking for a bright and cheerful way to dress a window?
This crochet hanging decoration features long green cords decorated with colourful daisy-style flowers and small leaves. It can be hung as a full curtain or gathered to one side, adding a soft, handmade touch of spring to any room.
Description
This decorative hanging is made from multiple long green cords, each adorned with crochet flowers in yellow, pink, blue, purple, orange and white, along with small green leaves. The flowers are spaced at varying heights so the overall look feels natural and abundant. One side can be gathered and tied with a matching green cord for a classic curtain effect. Lightweight and airy, it filters light beautifully while bringing colour and charm to a window, doorway or wall.
