Macrame is a textile craft which involves tying together different cords into special knots to produce all kinds of items. This very old art form has seen a renaissance in recent years with macrame wall hangings and pot holders appearing in homes all over the country.
Macrame is a great way to relax and look after your mental health. And it is easy to begin learning as you don’t need many materials or tools.
All a beginner needs to do is order a macrame kit online from a specialist such as https://www.woolcouturecompany.com/collections/macrame-kits to have all the materials they need. Online retailers can also provide instructions for making a broad range of beautiful items.
If you are looking for some ideas to try, here are a few creative macrame projects that crafters will be making in 2024.
Macraweave
What’s macraweave, you say? A combination of macrame and weaving, it allows the creation of stunning items with gorgeous textures and depth, especially exquisite wall hangings. It’s easy enough to get started – just grab a macraweave kit and this will contain everything you need to get started.
A plant pot holder
This millennial classic is here to stay. It’s a great way to elevate pots against windows without getting bulky pot stands or tables in the way, and can really soften the edges of a room. We predict funkier colour macrame pot holders this year that set off against the green of houseplants, including salmon, yellow and blue.
Macrame shopping bags
Woven grocery bags that give veg space to breathe are all the rage right now. Not only are they sustainable but they are a fashion statement too. They aren’t too difficult to make but are maybe better suited to intermediate-level macrame crafters.
