In addition to the knotting techniques, you can also find free macrame patterns on this page, which you can use to knot your own macrame project. The patterns show you step by step how to do it and include lots of pictures so that they are also ideal for macrame beginners.
After a really long break, we finally have a new tutorial. Let's take a look at a macrame yoga mat strap tutorial. The result shows that macrame not only looks beautiful, but can also be very practical. My yoga mat strap has been a companion for four years now and I...
In the last post, I showed you two ways to make a macrame feather. This post is about this macrame feather, which is a real eye-catcher, but also involves a few more steps than the "normal" feathers. This feather is a small wall hanging in itself, but you can also use...
The macrame feather is one of the lightest and smallest macrame projects there is. But not only is it particularly quick and easy to make, it is also particularly suitable for utilising leftovers. The feather is surprisingly versatile in its use: whether as a small...
The nice thing of macrame is that you don’t need much to get started. The most important thing is probably the cord, which is available in different thicknesses. If you don’t have the right thickness at home for the instructions, you can still try your hand at it. You will just have to adjust the lengths of cord a little, otherwise you will have too little or too much cord.
If your cord is thicker than in the instructions, you will need more cord. If it is thinner, you will need less. You can calculate exactly how much more or less you need with our cord length calculator, for example. Or you can estimate how much cord you need more or less, but I would only do this for smaller projects. You can then quickly knot them again and chalk it up to a learning effect. For large projects, it’s better to make the effort and buy the right thickness of cord – it would be more than annoying if you didn’t have enough at the end of a one metre wall hanging.
I would always keep the leftover cord as it is very easy to use for feathers.
Otherwise, you will need scissors and a ruler and, depending on the project, perhaps small or large branches from the forest, small metal rings for key rings or projects like the yoga mat strap and maybe wooden beads for decoration.
We will gradually upload more free macrame tutorials here, so it’s always worth checking back. Feel free to leave us comments on how you got on with the project and if you have a wish for the next project, don’t hesitate to write to us using the contact form.
