Here is my first Macrame Christmas craft:
A macrame snowflake!
I used this free macrame pattern.
I modified it slightly of course.
In the spirit of using stuff around the house, I cut the top off a plastic cup to use instead of a brass ring. It's bigger to accommodate my bigger spool knitting cord.
Since I'm pretty rough on my macrame projects, I used duck tape to strengthen the plastic ring so that when I was pulling my knots the ring wouldn't break.
Here's step one. You use the Lark's Head knot.
The rest of the steps use the Square Knot.
Ta da!
I think it turned out kind of dream catcher-ish as well.
I hung it up above our stairs going down to the rec room.
Doesn't it look all retro and Christmas-ey? I love it!
