Macrame Essentials
|

| Macrame Essentials covers a variety of topics you must
become familiar with. Macrame is more than simply tying knots.
It’s important that you review all the subjects in this
section before attempting to start a Macrame project. |

I have
learned from experience, if you make poor choices when choosing
materials and supplies, you can end up very disappointed in
the way your Macrame project turns out. Also, it’s important to prepare
the cords properly before starting, and to know how to deal with
the ends when finished.
If you are a beginner, be sure to read through the
important topics here in Macrame Essentials.

Macrame
Cord is a list of different qualities you
need to take into consideration as you choose your materials.
In the early days of Macrame, they only had Jute and Cotton to work with. Nowadays there
are a variety of materials available, including
yarn and ribbon. |

Dealing with ends that unravel and fray can be a real
frustration, and your project can be entirely ruined if you don't prepare the cords properly.
In Cord
Preparation, you will learn the different methods
for treating the ends, depending on the type of material used. |

of securing the cord ends at the completion of your projects. In this page of Macrame Essentials, you will learn about the various knots and techniques used in the final steps of most Macrame projects. |

Many Macrame projects, particularly jewelry, require what are often called "findings", or "clasps".
In Decorative Fasteners, I provide you with ideas on how
to either make or purchase items such as buttons, purse handles, and more. |

Beads have always been a popular part of this craft, but
some types are not suitable for Macrame. This is
primarily due to the size of the holes. If you’re
working with fine cords, however, the choices are endless.
In Macrame
Beads, I describe various types of beads, as well as the different shapes. |
