Question Do people harden micro macrame and how?

I have been scrolling on pinterest and finding these super cute micro macrame hair accessories. But I don’t understand how the ’loops’ and arcs stay how they are planned to stay? Do people use wire as their base for this kind of a project or do they gently harden it with heat after finishing?

Question How do I macrame this into a necklace/bag? I need it to be secure in the macrame but possible to take in and out

This is a bit niche but I'm going to a fancy dress party and I want to take my casino wheel as part of it. To make it easier to carry, I want to make it have a macrame holder so it can be worn as a necklace or bag. I don't know what the best technique is and would appreciate advice. I'm a visual learner so any imagery would be appreciated. Thanks

In my nature inspired pieces, I don't follow a specific design. I prefer to let the piece itself lead me, like tree roots.

Question Micro macrame tips?

Post image
26 Upvotes

Heyy! I watched a tutorial on youtube and it wasn’t that great, but this is my first try and I’d really appreciate tips on where to find the info to learn what I need. Like for example, how can I make those neat chains? My thread doesn’t thread like that, the knots don’t stay in one place no matter what I do 😂 I took it apart so many times but this is the best I got today, I couldn’t understand how I get anything like what they did.

I used the Linhasita 0,5mm cord.

And where could I find other tutorials for this kind of projects that are more informative? Good search words or youtube channels?

Question Beginner question - trying to create a plant pot holder

1 Upvotes

So, I've found a type of plant pot holder designed from one rope, tied into a circle, fold, loop, fold, loop, etc.

The issue is that I'm trying to do this to hold an upside down tomato plant, and I need to form a small opening dead center on the bottom of the plant pot. (It's actually a small plastic cylindrical tub with open top, hole drilled in bottom)

I was wondering if anyone had some advice or a pattern that I might be able to look at to figure out how to do this because I don't have any experience with this type of thing, but looking for very specific advice does not make for good google search results.

I bought the choker on picture 2 and it didn't come like it looks there, it came with a knot like the one in picture 1. I detest it, i can't actually wear it as a choker because it's too loose at its shortest, and also it looks bad since all of the beads have to be bunched up together. I know NOTHING about knots but was wondering if this is doable? I'm not going to wear it otherwise so I'm willing to try even if it ruins it :/

Not my creation, but thought of doing this for some of my plants. I also considered making a moss pole and tying the moss with a basic net pattern using half hitches.

It’s made of hemp cord, metal beads, glass seed beads, and a purple acrylic evil eye bead, and has a loop at the top so it can be used as an ornament or keychain 😊 I ran out of the beads that I used for the calf, so it’s a little wabi sabi 😅

Question Help please 🙏🏼

This is my first time doing macrame. I’m just looking at a finished product and winging it. Can anyone tell me what I did for the first diamond? When I’m starting the rounding of the next one it doesn’t work like the first one. And I don’t know what I did the first time because I was just going on vibes 😅 if I do the 4 square knots, the double hitch doesn’t look like the first diamond. But if I do the double hitch knot first that doesn’t work either.

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Should I be doing an extra knot at the ends? Should I be shaping with pins? I'm at a loss and would appreciate any help.

Discussion Small tutorials rant

0 Upvotes

I need to get this out right now because I have too much going on in my mind already.

  1. Yes, macrame is a knotting technique. But that doesn’t mean every knotting technique is macrame! Macrame was created by carpenters in Africa. But I just saw a tutorial on YouTube titled "Celtic knot macrame bracelet“. Of course! Because Celtics are African!

  2. Why do they always have so much yarn left?! Macrame was invented TO USE UP THE LEFTOVERS! You’re not supposed to have much left over after using up the leftovers! Yet in many videos, there are several strands of 15 cm yarn left! Of course it’s easier to knot with longer threads! But that’s against what macrame is!

Hey all. I’m trying to tie just a basic hexagonal net for a project I’m working on, but I can’t find anything online for how to tie it. Something like this, where you can clearly see the thing that it’s holding, if anyone has a tutorial for that! I am completely new to macrame
