Make your own Christmas Tree Macrame DIY Kit (Green)

Product Information

Macrame is a crafting technique that uses knots made in ropes, yarn or cord in set patterns to create stunning textile pieces.

Step 4: Cut a piece of twine to about ten inches. Fold the piece in half and tie a knot half an inch from the top. Attach the twine to the ring with another larks head knot. It comes with all the necessary materials and a wall hanging pattern teaching you the six basic macramé knots.It can even be kid-friendly too! If you are looking for a thoughtful Christmas gift handmade with love, then this Christmas tree ornament may be right for you. Step 5:With the middle four cords, make a Berry knot with two consecutive Square knots. With the first square knot, leave about 1cm space the square knot – this is for weaving the middle two anchor cords through. Step 1: Cut 16 pieces of cord eight inches in length. Take one piece of cord and create a larks head knot around the wood ring by folding the piece in half, putting the loop through the center of the ring, and pulling the ends of the cord through the loop. Step 6 (optional): Use a comb or brush to fray the branch pieces (this part can take a little time, but just keep combing). Trim the tree shape, if needed.

Hi Macramé lovers and knotters! Christmas is upon us and what better way to celebrate this special occasion than a fun, beginner friendly craft?

I recommend making a knot at the end of your cord strands to prevent the ends from fraying while knotting. Cord Lengths I used the Natural & Gold Shimmer single strand cotton cord from our Rainbow line for this tutorial. When working with cord spun with metallics, the metallics do come apart quite easily. Step 8: Attach a strand of 120 cm cord onto the far-right cord with a Reverse Lark's Head Plus Half hitch (RLHPHH).

Step 4: Take the second cord from the right and make a Vertical Lark's Head knot onto the far-right cord. Repeat the same on the left-side. I incorporated pearl beads into the design as little ornaments on the tree, but you can replace this with wooden beads or any other type of bead you like. The best part is, it doesn’t take too much time to make since it’s fairly small and it will make the perfect Boho-style accessory for any Christmas tree. And there you have it! This gorgeous ornament is bound to bring festive cheer to your home. I like the texture the berry knots brought to this design.

Step 3: Make your second branch by tying the same knot, but this time putting the bottom loop to the right and top loop to the left. Make alternating square knots below the first one, using the far left and far right sets of four cords. Step 11: Attach a strand of 80 cm cord onto each of the far-right and far-left cords with an RLHPHH.
