Macrame supplies and crafting tools are
necessary to create the craft projects on this
site. On this page is a list of the basic
items you need before you start any project.
Many supermarkets and hardware stores carry
craft supplies, if you dont already have these
items at home.
Online stores often carry supplies for both
Macrame and Micro-Macrame, too:

You will need a table
or other work surface.
When working on your project away from home, a
clipboard
not only holds the cords, but gives you a firm
surface to work on.
Safety Tip:
Make sure your work surface is clean and
uncluttered. Keep food, drinks, and cigarettes
away from the cords.
The cords used in Macrame are sometimes very
long, and can injure pets and young children if
they get tangled in them.
Try to put all your supplies in some kind of organizer
that's easy to carry.
You will need a Project
Board to hold pins or tape.
You can use cardboard, Styrofoam,
clipboards and bulletin boards.
Ceiling tiles and pieces of foam also
work, as do firm pillows.
T-Pinsor
heavy sewing pins are used to secure the
knots to the project board, so make sure
you have plenty.
The Cross-Pin
Technique shown here is
a great way to secure delicate cords
using pins, without passing them through
the cords.
Rolls of Cellophane
and/or Masking Tape are helpful,
and should be kept with your other Macrame
supplies.
You can apply tape to the tips of cords to
prevent them from unraveling, as shown
here.
