Create beautiful and charming projects--from decorative accents to jewelry--with fun and easy macramé.
The knots and braids are lovely and can be combined with beads for some attractive effects. Try different materials, such as braided cotton cord and suede lacing.
Knot a pair of place mats for tonight's dinner, a leash sure to make any dog chic, a pendant that's the height of elegance, coasters to bring as housewarming gifts, to name but a few of the projects.
