Macrame is what this blog is all about. If you are a beginner with macrame, this step by step macrame instruction will get you going. First, some basics for the beginner.Macrame is a craft by which many items may be created using simple knots. This goes far beyond the original concept which included projects such as plant hangers and owls. There are several types of cord used in Macrame . Natural cords include jute and hemp. There is a natural beauty to these cords, and they are perfect for beginners.Cords are available in varying thickness ranging from .5 to 8mm basically, the larger the number the thicker the cord so 8mm is the thickest. You will also be using metal rings and beads once you learn the basic knots.The project is held in place using t-pins, which help with the spacing of knots in the patterns. If you don’t have a Macrame board yet, a clip board will do just fine.
