Chasta from Soulful Notions and I can’t wait to see what you’ll be making! Connect with other beginners, share your work, learn from the best Macrame teachers and join our Macrame for Beginners Facebook Group. Before you get going, read our guide on how to do macramé which explains more about what macramé is and includes the seven main knots you’ll need to master. It also features top tips and expert advice from Isabella Strambio Author of Macramé For The Modern Home. If you’re not into beads, you could leave them out altogether. Considering the size of this project, we’ve incorporated quite a few different knots, so this is also a great way to learn and get comfortable with new types of knots. Step 3: Make your second branch by tying the same knot, but this time putting the bottom loop to the right and top loop to the left.

In this project, you’ll find the lark’s head knot, vertical lark’s head knot, double half-hitch knot, berry knot (which is made up of a few square knots), reverse lark’s head plus half hitch, and the gathering knot. If you are new to macramé, we recommend learning with a macramé starter kit, like our Kami Wall Hanging kit Step 8: Attach a strand of 120 cm cord onto the far-right cord with a Reverse Lark's Head Plus Half hitch (RLHPHH). The best part is, it doesn’t take too much time to make since it’s fairly small and it will make the perfect Boho-style accessory for any Christmas tree.Macrame is a crafting technique that uses knots made in ropes, yarn or cord in set patterns to create stunning textile pieces. Step 1: Cut 16 pieces of cord eight inches in length. Take one piece of cord and create a larks head knot around the wood ring by folding the piece in half, putting the loop through the center of the ring, and pulling the ends of the cord through the loop. Aren’t they so cute? They would be so cute for gifting, and I can just imagine a Christmas tree covered in them!

I used the Natural & Gold Shimmer single strand cotton cord from our Rainbow line for this tutorial. When working with cord spun with metallics, the metallics do come apart quite easily. Step 10: Repeat the same side pattern as above, starting with the third cord from the right. Start with one DHH knot, thread through a bead, and close with one more DHH knot. Repeat on the left.

I recommend making a knot at the end of your cord strands to prevent the ends from fraying while knotting. Cord Lengths
