Whenever fall sets in and the days get shorter, I love to pick up my all-time favorite hobby: Macrame. It only took me watching a couple of Youtube videos to master the technique so I’m pretty sure you can do it too.


What do you need to macrame?
- Macrame Cord: You can use any kind of cord, twine, or rope. Most projects are created with rope made out of cotton, hemp, jute, or synthetic material which come in different sizes, twists, and colors.
- Rod: You’ll need something to tie your knots to. To save costs, you can start your first project on a branch. Other popular choices include dowel rods, hoops, and rings.
- Scissors
Which macrame cord should you buy?
Macrame terms
- Working Cord: The cord or cords that you use to make the knots.
- Filler Cord: The cord or cords that your knots wrap around.
Basic knots
- Lark’s Head Knot
- Square Knots
- Half Knots

You will need a bit of practice before your projects start looking amazing, so make sure to start small. I found it easiest to start off with a keychain hanger as these mostly only require the basic knots.
