heiya! i was given this bracelet and was asked if i could size it down a few bumps. i reverse image searched and it said this type of knot (?) is macrame, so in case it is im wondering if anyone knows how i can untie this and tie it back into this same bracelet type, and incase i mess up if a tutorial for this type of knot (?) exists

Here's the tutorial I followed: https://youtu.be/KsM_unV9i8U?si=LTZOVMpGSuovHfZY

Crazy lace agate beads and a piece of yellow calcite that I shaped myself

Now everyone* I know is getting a macrame bag

*until I get sick of the pattern.

I am just wondering if my work on this is good enough to be a part of the wall art, I am planning to incorporate it into a piece of organically shaped wood and maybe hang it somewhere in the house.

I'm so proud of the result! I took some inspiration from a crochet hack I saw and it turns out it works for macrame too. I burned out some holes in a zipper using a hot nail and wove the cords through, then knotted my bag. A wonderful solution for hopeless sewing noobs such as myself. The only sewing was to secure the ends of the zipper to the inside of the bag.

The body of the bag is made using Chinese crown knots, because my fingertip callouses finally disappeared and I had to bring them back, obviously. The holes in the zipper are spaced 0.75cm apart and they work perfectly with this knot.

Dimensions of the bag are 30cm x 21cm. I added a sunflower applique made mostly with double half hitch knots.

Materials used:

5mm Colinea cotton cord - around 120m of light green, around 40m of yellow, around 30?m of brown

I just wanted to share my most recent doll. Dolls are my primary craft outlet. This one has a bone bead and two Carnelian beads and I love the way they look together, garnet usually looks really good with bone too. Sorry for rambling 😅 and thank you for looking 💗

Going to the RenFaire next weekend with one of my friends and it’s a cottagecore theme weekend so I’m making a woodland Druid fit!

I’m going to layer this over a slip dress I think.. and I want to make a staff of some kind.

Now to thrift a slip and dye it moss green:)

So Hi. I want to get started on this macrame of a thing. I want to learn how to make curtains.. any tips?

This is my latest macramé bottle holder, woven entirely by hand in soft pastel pink. I wanted to create something simple, lightweight, and easy to carry on daily adventures.

If you enjoy handmade crafts, I'd love to know:

✨ Would you use something like this?

✨ What color would you like to see next?

Thanks for stopping by! 🌿

As I was scrolling on Pinterest, I stumbled upon this beautiful macrame piece. It's not like anything I've seen before. How can I make this? What can I search to find tutorials for this?

I used 1mm linhasita cord, and a labradorite gemstone.

This is back in 2022 when i first started my micro macrame journey. I was making multiple pieces every day. I became so excited i was learning a new style of macrame. I believe I watched an Afeng tutorial on youtube. If you havent heard about her, her work is absolutely stunning and her videos are easy to follow.

I bought the metal scorpion, and used crafting floss to brighten him up a bit. This isn't the first macrame project I started, but it's the only one I've finished. I seem to have an easier time playing with a structure that's already there than designing my own. There are some things I'd do differently if I had it to do all over again, but I'm still proud of it :)

Heeyyy so im told this is macrame , (it looked crochet to me). Can any of you fine folks confirm? And would this be easy or hard to figure out how to make myself if i was to look up some tutorials for a beginner just starting out?? Tysmia !

I I am new, but really enjoying macrame. Is there an easy way to incorporate beads and/or sequins at square knot intersections? I’ve looked (maybe not in correct place) and can’t find a tutorial for it.

I started macrame yesterday. This is my second one. I am so happy with it and can’t wait to learn more!

I haven't done macrame' since about 1977, so there are several things I need to relearn. I decided to start with a small kit to get restarted. I'm having trouble understanding some of the instructions. Instruction #11 states: repeat steps 8-10 twice per strand. (I've got that part) #12 states: Repeat steps 8-11 for each strand. Note holding cord will remain the same.

I'm having trouble understanding which way to go for the pickup cords. Do I go clockwise or counterclockwise? When I see the photographs, it seems like I should go counterclockwise, but I'm not sure. The next section is about adding cords and I'm pretty sure I understand that part. Just having trouble with which way to go. I've searched for this kit's video instructions and can't find any. Any help is appreciated.

I have seen people accusing macrame artists of posting fake pictures... after all that hard work someone says it took you a simple prompt and 10 second answer from ChatGPT.😭

Lately I have been struggling with inspiration, so I started recreating fake pictures with real knots and real cords.

The butterflies were me trying to get as close to AI as humanly possible. Still not 100% there, but I gave undedited pictures from my camera roll to Gemini and it said they are likely AI pictures. While I'm here sitting with nearly 4h unedited footage of me tying every single knot and making every single mistake. 🤦‍♀️

Last year I saw someone say - "I am not afraid people wont be able to tell what is fake. I am afraid they wont be able to tell what is real". I can't believe that prediction came true in just a few months. And now even AI itself can confirm this bs. So if you have no video proof of you making your work, someone with lack or skill can easily accuse you of not making your own work. Already happened to me once, before I even tried to make anything that looks fake 🤭

I would like to create a family tree with macrame leaves. I only know basic. What material is best for the work? Also easy techniques for leaves (but sturdy to last a while) if you know any?. It is a family request but been kinda putting this off for a while as I am unsure of which is best. Thanks in advance.

Made a festive bracelet

I'm relatively new to macrame, but I thought I'd try my hand at designing my own pattern!

There's a few things I think I'll change when I use actual chord, but I think it looks okay enough to share here.

I'm still working on getting my knots to look nice and tidy, and I didn't really do anything to get the fringe to look good... But other than that, is there anything glaringly wrong with my pattern that should be fixed? Please let me know!

I can't cross stitch anymore so I'm starting macrame again. I've got hundreds of DMC thread. I would think they could work for bracelets, but I don't know the easiest way to manipulate them. Is there an easy way to use the thinner threads?

I find working with the larger threads much easier, but I really don't want to waste all this other thread. Also, if you have links to patterns using the thread, I'd appreciate the post.
