What Is Macrame?

Macrame is a creative craft that involves using knots to make decorative and functional items from cords or strings. Unlike knitting or crocheting, which use needles or hooks, macrame is done entirely by hand.

This art form has been around for centuries and was especially popular during the 1970s, often used to make plant hangers, home decor and much more. Today, macrame is making a big comeback thanks to its stylish, boho look and the relaxing, hands-on process it offers.

At its core, macrame is about tying a series of simple knots into patterns to create shapes, textures, and designs. Once you’ve learned the basic knots like the square knot and lark’s head knot you can combine them in endless ways to make both simple and complex pieces depending on the experience level you are on.

Macramé is beginner-friendly, affordable to start, and a satisfying way to create beautiful handmade art for your space or as gifts to friends and family. From keychains and coasters to large wall pieces and even handbags, there’s no limit to what you can make once you get the hang of it.
