About this ebook
Macrame for Beginners is a complete illustrated guide that starts with the very basics and builds your skills chapter by chapter until you're making professional-quality pieces. You'll learn every foundational knot with simple step-by-step instructions. Then you'll practice those knots on real projects that get progressively more challenging, from a 15-minute keychain to a full-sized boho wall hanging with fringe.
This book includes 17 complete projects with full materials lists and detailed instructions. You'll make home decor like plant hangers, wall hangings, table runners, curtain tie-backs, and a hanging shelf. You'll make jewelry and accessories like bracelets, choker necklaces, earrings, a phone lanyard, a tote bag, and a belt. Every project uses knots taught earlier in the book, so nothing comes at you without preparation.
You'll also learn skills that most beginner books skip. How to read pattern diagrams. How to plan a project from idea to finished piece. How to dye your own cord in custom colors. How to add beads, shells, feathers, and crystals. How to make macrame leaves and feathers. How to scale up to large projects. How to fix mistakes without starting over.
The last chapter is for anyone thinking about selling their work. It covers pricing formulas, product photography tips, setting up an Etsy shop, selling at craft fairs, and using social media to find customers.
No prior experience needed. No expensive tools required. Just cord, scissors, and this book.
