Macrame patterns to get you started
Macrame is the intricate art of weaving magic with knots in rope. But macrame art isn’t just about aesthetics – it’s about adding functionality to your home. Here are some easy macrame craft ideas for those of you just dipping your toes into the macrame craze:
Boho Bowls
Macrame isn’t just specific to wall hangings, although Pinterest might have you thinking so! Craft a macrame fruit bowl for your kitchen to show off your fresh produce in style. The woven design adds a dash of bohemian flair and Wool Couture to any kitchen or dining room. See this housebeautiful article for more tips and ideas on how to transform your dining room.
Knotty Door Delights
If you’re up for the challenge, you could try your hand at a macrame door curtain with your macrame kit. This decorative piece hangs over your door of choice, giving quite the warm welcome to those who enter. Experiment with different patterns and colours so you can inject some personality into your door curtain.
Plants Ahoy!
Instead of the more traditional plant hanger, why not go for a textured pot cover? This is similar in concept to the boho fruit bowl mentioned previously, just with different contents. Use the colour schemes of the room in which your greenery is situated to help you work with your macrame to compliment your home space.
Mini Macrame
Macrame keychains are another option. They’re stylish, they’re practical, so why not give them a go? These would be a great way for you to practise your art skills. Gift your rooky rounds to friends and family as you work on your craft – they’ll be sure to go down a treat amongst those who frequently lose keys!
Woven Walls
And finally, what’s a list of macrame ideas without mentioning wall hangings? These can add a touch of creativity and movement to your walls. Experiment with fringe lengths to create a statement in a room of your choice.
Step Into Macrame
These are some stepping-stone ideas to get you into macrame. With a little bit of practice, you can create some beautiful and functional pieces to enhance the aesthetic of your home.
