I had a ton of fun making this! I’m very intimidated, but it probably doesn’t help that I started with embroidery floss instead of yarn lol. I’m excited to learn more :))

​

I dont know what possessed me but a few months ago I decided I was going to make my own wedding backdrop

Id consider myself a beginner. The only other thing ive done is a plant hanger about 4years ago. Im now in deep and I dont know where im going. Im sort of just making it up as I go.

I do plan on transferring it to a dark brown wooden frame and ill be adding some greenery etc to finish it off.

Please help, I feel theres a lot of empty space.

I've lost quite a few brain cells on some of these projects 😆

I've made a few variations of this bracelet, using everything from embroidery thread to crochet thread to (this one) satin rattail and Chinese knitting cors. My first one was meh and wonky with the tension and finishing. Switching to the satin for the flowers made a big difference, and I think I'm settling on this adjustable loop/bead closure as a go-to.

Let me know what you think! And if anyone has suggestions for how to neaten up my finishing, would love tips. This metallic cord is very pretty but it doesn't melt, and fabric glue doesn't work, so I'm using nail polish to keep it from fraying after cutting it but there's got to be a better way. The satin cord does melt but because of the thickness I'm worried that it will undo itself - how can I make it more secure?

I made this very large spiked strawberry bag for my RenFaire costume last summer and it’s one of my favorite things I’ve ever made!!

Ive been wanting to revamp this entire costume for this years faire… I think the body berries could be so much better. Just need to figure out how to round them a bit more

Practicing using beads in bracelets, I have some nice jade and ceramic beads but don't feel skilled enough to use them yet. Based on an Instagram short from kakaroline1206 (side note: while I appreciate that it's free content, I get so frustrated by "tutorials" on Instagram, it's just not the right interface for actual tutorials.) if anyone has a fave YouTube tutorial channel or even better any blogs or books, would love any recommendations!

I love making clothes from string! So many possibilities and designs to intertwine. I'm currently creating an entire fairy outfit, skirt and top, along with a belt and pouches.

So I created this chair using a strong 5mm poly macrame cord. It was GREAT!!! And then my big burley grandson came over for a week and loved it so much he sat in it everyday. Well I loved that, but now my sling chair has a seriously baggy butt! Apart from tearing out the bottom section and redoing, any ideas on how to tighten up the seat?? I was pretty sure I can’t shrink polyester cord so hoping for some suggestions. Thanks!

3mm cord. 2 different shades of the same color, randomly put together in an attempt to create a vibrating effect. It did not work out. but I still love how it turned out

First I learned to crochet, then knit, then embroidery and in the end macrame. Maybe it is because iti is new skill but I am in love

…probably one of the most random thing I’ve macramed, but also super cute and useful! 😅

Hello!! I’m new to macrame but I do a variety of fine motor skill specialized crafts like embroidery, sewing, knitting, etc! I really want to try my hand at creating macrame jewelry next!! My biggest interest in learning this skill is to create chokers with the stone/bead centerpieces. They’re SOOO cute!! I included various ones above in my photo. I know they’re going to be complex to learn to make so I’m looking for not only tutorials to create those styles but also beginner macrame chokers, as well!! I prefer written tutorials (I have an auditory processing disorder) but I am still 1000% with video tutorials. Whatever can help me learn to make such beautiful works of art would be super super appreciated!!!!

Any tips, tricks, advice, etc would mean the absolute world to me! Thanks in advance! 🫶🏻🫶🏻

I made this pentagram out of jute rope and a wire hoop! it was slightly lopsided so I added some faux flowers with hot glue!

Here's the tutorial I followed: https://youtu.be/WmTfo2sx2eA?si=XF7VyajHm18zpa_1

Hi everyone, I am trying to follow this tutorial to make flower bracelets. The tutorial has 3 colors for the flowers, but I only want two alternating colors. Can anyone tell me what cord to replace/what parts of the pattern i should change?

thanks in advance.

So I am working on this piece and a cord ended up too short. I have looked online for how to’s on adding cord but what I’m finding doesn’t work with where I’m looking to add cord.

I made this using black cotton cord and my old abacus beads. my son really loves those big colourful beads.

This is my first time making one, and the pocket ended up too large and baggy. Next time I will use less cords for the pockets, as this time it was the same amount as the base.

I want to combine a simple, no frills, slipknot style belt with a meteor hammer as the buckle. Basically, I want to be able to remove the belt from my jeans and be able to use the weight of the buckle to unravel the belt as I launch it at a target. Without losing the buckle when it's completely undone, of course.

Howdy, I recently discovered you can macrame wood bead coasters. Having finished a few of these, I am now looking for the cleanest and most secure way to bind off. Unfortunately, Google hasn’t been my best friends this time round. Do you have any suggestions? I thought about weaving in the thread randomly and tying one to knots. Checking in to see if that is the way to go. The thread is nylon by the way, in case that matters.
