Tying one on

April 3, 2018 by Michelle

The last few months, I’ve had a new addiction…macrame.

Talk about an easy craft that requires inexpensive supplies! I can’t believe I didn’t try it sooner.  I guess because I was a child of the 70’s and it seemed outdated.  But now, it’s everywhere!

With the knowledge of a few basic knots, the possibilities are endless.  My first projects were some plant hangers.

Then I tried some bracelets (along with some posey charms that I found on clearance at Tattered and Torn).

 

Then, I made  my first bigger project- a wall hanging with regular old string from Wal Mart and a branch from my white birch tree. This hung on my living room window for about a month, while I worked on it very s l o w l y.

 

 

Every day, I’d tie a few on. Very relaxing!

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s the finished result:

This week, I made another hanging planter.  I’m planning on making some for my porch before summer.

 

Hope you try something new this spring! Share what you are inspired by currently.

Happy Spring!
