But it is kinda quick, and the things you can make are really nice. And its pretty quick to learn. You can make nice things with 2 knots, and then you can learn a bunch of knots if you are so inclined.
This is the first thing I made. I went for it. And I learned a lot while making this, even though it only used 3 knots. It hangs in my bedroom as part of Operation: Macrame my bedroom. I'm going for a whimsical, but light theme for my bedroom, and this def fits. It is pretty large too. A little ambitious for my first macrame hanging, but I'm glad I powered through.
The other hanging I made for my bedroom is this plant hanger. I got this lovely pot at the nursery I buy my plants from. And its looks lovely.
I have a lot of plants. So learning this has allowed me to hang my plants around. One of my friends said it looks like "a hug for a plant." It does.
I have enough plant hangers, so I started looking for things I could make with knotted rope. So I started making these coasters since I wanted some for our nightstands. And I think they looked pretty cute.
I really enjoyed learning this, and I'm thinking of other ways I can incorporate macrame into my crafts. Ooooh, maybe a lamp shade?
Your macramé projects came out really nice! I love those plant hangers so much! I've been trying new hobbies too... most not going too well, ha. Half my plants are dead. Whoops.
ReplyDeleteI live in an apartment, so I don't always have a lot of light. The trick is to get plants that suit your space. I get a lot of shade loving plants since I only get late day sun. And less in the winter.

Hi first time visiting! These are all so pretty, very impressive! I grew up with a fair amount of macrame decor in the 80s, love that it is kinda hip again! 😊
ReplyDeleteWelcome! I love making things- so macrame was a good step since I'm now into decorating my place. I wasn't before, but now that I have to spend so much time here, I found I wanted it to be cozier. And macrame does make things look cozy.
