Macrame Keychain

Macrame keychains are a very beginner-friendly project. They require just the basic skill and technique of knotting the macrame cords and only a few materials.

You can make a ton of these keychains and keep them to use as party favors or little gifts for Friendship day, or Mother’s day, as well. Buy some macrame cord in the color you like; alternatively you can make a dual colored keychain, as well.

Grab some keyrings from here to begin. Also feel free to make your very own DIY necklaces.

Use This Pattern to Make a Macrame Purse

This macrame handbag might seem hard to make, but a beginner could complete the project with relative ease since the thread is thicker and the knots are larger. As a general rule, the larger the knot, the fewer you'll have to make. Francesca from Fall for DIY is a pro and designing projects that look good enough to be store-bought, which is evident in this handbag.

Placemats

Take a look at how to make these macrame placemats using 16oz Fiber-lok. It’s a quick and easy project, yes, but you certainly wouldn’t think that when you look at it! The first thing you need to do is cut out some burlap to use as the base.

This will help you get a nice round shape for your placemats if you decide to use it as a template. Next, mark the center of the burlap with a pen and start rolling one end of the cord snugly. Hot glue this end in place and continue rolling the cord around and around till you’re ready to fasten off.

Bunny

How about another cute little toy that your little ones can play with. When it comes to what you can do and make with macrame, you’ll be surprised at the variety of little toys like these that you’ll find.

This little bunny rabbit is actually made out of t-shirt yarn and using macrame knots to bring it to the appropriate shape. While macrame cords are just as effective, there is something quite endearing about this bunny being made out of old tees.

You can also use this as an opportunity to upcycle or recycle old tees you have lying around in the back of your closet! Grab a pair of cloth scissors and start cutting the tees into long strips.
