Make your own Christmas Tree Macrame DIY Kit (Green)

Product Information

Good news for crafters: you don’t need to splurge on home décor from the high street to enjoy the revival of this humble knotted craft. The explosion of DIY macramé kits has made the craft more accessible than ever and there are so many projects to choose from that you don’t need to settle for a classic plant holder, though it’s a great place to start! Step 4: Cut a piece of twine to about ten inches. Fold the piece in half and tie a knot half an inch from the top. Attach the twine to the ring with another larks head knot. Macrame is a crafting technique that uses knots made in ropes, yarn or cord in set patterns to create stunning textile pieces. And if you're inspired to try more projects, don't miss our round-up of brilliant small macrame project ideas. What is macrame ? Step 1: Cut 20 pieces of cord eight inches in length, and set aside. Cut one piece of cord about 20 inches in length. Fold the long piece in half and tie a knot below the fold, leaving a two inch loop at the top. String the cord ends through the bead, and pull the bead up to the knot. This will be the center piece of your tree.

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 8: Attach a strand of 120 cm cord onto the far-right cord with a Reverse Lark's Head Plus Half hitch (RLHPHH). I incorporated pearl beads into the design as little ornaments on the tree, but you can replace this with wooden beads or any other type of bead you like.
