I created this simple macrame candle hanger as a house warming gift for my sister. It now hangs proudly in her kitchen.

This is a lovely, easy to create gift that can be enjoyed by anyone!

The finished product hangs 21 inches tall

To create this hanger you will need:

• 3mm macrame cord
• a candle holder/pot - mine is 3inches tall and 3inches in diameter
• scissors
• a tape measure/ruler
• a screwdriver
• painters tape
• somewhere to hang your project as you work on it
• a candle
• knowledge of the various knots (though I will explain at each step how to create each knot)

Minimalist Macramé Coasters

These circular macramé coasters are a simple yet stunning way to add a handmade touch to your coffee table. The radial knot pattern creates a lovely sunburst effect, and the fringe adds just enough detail to make them special.

Perfect for small spaces or gifts, this project is beginner-friendly while still looking polished and professional. Pair these with neutral ceramics for a cohesive, earthy aesthetic that’s perfect for morning coffee rituals or casual entertaining.

Compact and functional, they’re an easy way to bring a touch of macramé into everyday use. Find a tutorial at One Little Project.

Step 5: Continue the Macrame

Below each regular knot, tie 5 square knots. A squad knot, is essentially two half knots, one done as before, and the second done in reverse.

First, pass the left tying cord under the two middle anchor cords. Then pass the right tying cord under the end of the left tying cord, over top of the two middle anchor cords, and in through the loop of the left tying cord.

Second, pass the right tying cord under the two middle anchor cords. Then pass the left tying cord under the end of the right tying cord, over top of the two middle anchor cords, and in through the loop of the right tying cord.

Repeat until you have tied 5 square knots in each of the 4 sets of cords (approx 3 inches of knots).

**in this step, use the longest lengths as your tying cords and leave the shorter two lengths in the middle as your anchor cords**

Playful Macramé Keychains

They’re small but impactful, making perfect gifts or craft fair items, especially for beginners experimenting with simple knot patterns. Quick to make and customizable, they’re a fun way to inject some personality into everyday accessories.
