Years ago I used to do macrame all the time. I haven’t done it for years but I decided to try some purses for gifts this year and I love the way they came out. I am including some pictures from when I was making them. I left the instructions off because I think it is easier to follow a pattern in a book so you can get very detailed written instructions. Here is the 4mm cord I ordered but you can adjust any pattern based on the size and type of cord you choose.
Here is the cord I used:
2 Pack Bonnie Macramé Cord – 4mm
Here are some great books to start with:
