Great beginners guide
I love Macrame, I think it is a beautiful craft, and I’m very slowly learning how to do it. I saw this book and wanted to add it to my collection since it has so many great tips. You learn everything you need to know in order to get started including what supplies and materials you’ll need, organizing your workstation, all about Macrame cords, the basic knots of Macrame, different techniques, tips and tricks, and project ideas. It is extremely helpful that pictures are included when the knots are being explained as I can be a visual learner. There are projects with instructions for things such as plant hangers, wall hanging, placemat, jewelry, hat, clutch purse, bookmark, and more. I absolutely love the wall hanging Macrame and think it’s so beautiful. Some additional tips about being a beginner that the author includes are starting with the basic knots, join a workshop for practice, do some online training, and have a good time and have fun with it!

Macrame made easy
I have always liked the looks of macrame but never knew how, this is a great step by step guide to get started. I liked that there were clear pictures to go with each step, that is really helpful when trying to see how to tie knots. There is also a collection of crafts you can make. I liked that they were pretty basic, so they were easy enough for beginners. But, the crafts are also useful so you feel like you accomplished something. I especially like the macrame Christmas ornaments. They were a beautiful touch to add to our tree.

Learning Macrame for a rainy day
I am really getting into learning the art of macrame. It is really quite simple. Once you learn all the different types of knots, there really isn't anything to it. This is a great craft for basically everyone. Families who are stuck at home on a rainy or snowy day, you can all get together and create some of your own macrame projects. This book shows you step-by-step exactly how to do it.
