Why I Started Making Macramé Ukulele Hangers (and Why You’ll Love Them Too)

A Handmade Storage Solution for Your Uke
A few Christmases ago, my kids got ukuleles. They played them once... and then promptly abandoned them to collect dust in random corners of the house. Sound familiar?
I wanted a way to keep them tidied away but still easy to grab when the mood struck — so I made my first macramé ukulele hangers. Practical, handmade, and much nicer to look at than a pile of neglected instruments on the floor!
What is a Macramé Ukulele Hanger?
In case you’ve not come across them before, a macramé ukulele hanger is a decorative, handmade way to hang your uke on the wall.
I make two styles:
-
A loop version that hooks gently around the headstock
-
A cradle style that supports the base of the uke
Both are made with recycled cotton cord and finished with repurposed wooden rings — a simple, boho way to display your instrument while keeping it safe and out of the way.
Why Choose a Macramé Ukulele Hanger?
Aside from looking great, a ukulele hanger keeps your instrument accessible without cluttering up surfaces or needing a bulky stand.
Plus:
-
Saves space
-
Doubles up as wall decor
-
Handmade from recycled materials
-
You can choose a colour that suits your space
And if you’re like my kids and only pick it up every now and then — at least it looks good in the meantime!
Handmade to Order, with Sustainability in Mind
Every ukulele hanger I make is knotted by hand using recycled cotton cord, sent out wrapped in recycled paper, and packaged using reused materials — all part of my effort to create less waste.
If you’ve got a particular colour or size in mind, or even a different instrument you'd like to hang, just drop me a message. Custom orders are always welcome!
Where to Buy a Macramé Ukulele Hanger
If you fancy one for your own uke (or as a gift for the occasional ukulele player in your life), you’ll find my handmade macramé ukulele hangers here.
Alternatively, if you fancy having a go at making your own, I’ve also put together a PDF tutorial to create your own macramé ukulele hanger. It’s beginner-friendly and includes step-by-step instructions so you can get knotting at home.
