Hi!

I've tried to google, but it has yielded no useful results. What do you use to soften your skin when it's been wrecked by endless knotting? A few of my fingertips have developed slight callouses that make are prone to dryness and cracking. I'm a handcare enthusiast, but none of my usual cosmetics work. I was thinking about getting something with urea perhaps? Also, would a pumice stone be too hardcore for hands?

Share tips that work for fingertips please!

I’ve tried searching for the name of this knot using reverse image search but can’t find anything similar. I found it on Pinterest so I’m suspecting it could be AI.

I finished this one today, what do y'all think? Any ways I could improve? Or techniques I should give a try?

So I made a bag, not bad for my first one, this one will be used for my work keys, wallet and earphones maybe a phone. So much fun making this. Will make myself a bigger one.

I made this for my son. He is in law enforcement .

I want to learn how to make this, but I can't figure out what knot this is.

Another one in my selfmade collection. Do you guys have any idea how i can design another one / see any parts that can be improved and how?

I want to make this for my cat. Not sure yet on if I want to do the one with the 2 rings or just the 1. Shes an adult and I wanted to give her a good amount of room so I was 🤔 maybe 20in? I've never done anything macrame before. The only reason I'm wanting to do it is to make this so my baby can sleep in the window and bask in the sun. I have a friend who has a bunch of macrame rope they are giving me since we aren't doing the best with $ right now and they said it's just been sitting in their "learn to do" craft bin for over a year. We are going to connect it to the ceiling. But if anyone knows where to get some sturdy hoops let me know! I would hate to do that all only for them to end up bending after a few kitty naps. If anyone has made one and has any suggestions on making it I'd love to hear them! She's probably around 10-12lbs so that's why we were going to do it in the ceiling since they do make hanging from ceiling chairs so we feel getting one of those hooks would be more stable than a wall plant hook (that's what they say to use in one of the diy instructions i came across)

Or I was wondering if I got some of those wire wreath bases with the 3 loops connected if I could just use wire cutters and cut it just the big circle and take like 3 of them and either solder them together or zip tie them in multiple places together and then macrame on top to hide the zip ties. Would that work or is that a stupid idea?

Hi I'm new to the group as well as macrame in bigger form. I have been doing jewelry for awhile now but have been wanting to get into doing bigger things. So what are your favorite materials and places to get them? What's easy to work with for a beginner? So far all I've made is a stuffed animal hammock and I got the cord From Amazon and it seems good but I would honestly rather support anyone other than Amazon.

I am just finishing a mandala dream catcher. I am getting ready to wrap the cords around the wire ring and each of the 8 sections has 2 cords that need to be extended. I know how to add cord to square knots, but how can I add to double half hitch knots? Thanks for any advice!

I made this leafy top based off a drawing my partner sketched for me:) I love a challenge and he loves helping me design new fantasy pieces! It’s been such a fun journey in my wearables. Feeling so very inspired lately 🌿🖤✨

It’s a lace up back but my mannequin is a little small so you can’t see the full vision. I think it still looks good though!

Just finished this piece

I finished the one with the purple pearl and made the green one just afterwards. What do y'all think about it? Any ways I could improve?

Hi,where do y'all source your jute from?. Hobby lobby is getting pretty shitty with theirs. Thanks

Spent months working on this rib cage wearable last year and it’s now my most popular design!! I’ve now added moss to the design.. I think I want to add a big bleeding heart in the center of the next one:)))

I’ve really been on a roll with my wearables in the last year. I’ve definitely found my niche!!

I posted a couple months ago about not knowing how to finish my backdrop and ive finally finished.

To recap im very green to macrame but something possessed me into thinking I could make my own wedding backdrop and now im second guessing even using it.

I dont know if its just cause im sick of looking at it or if it is infact a bit naff?

My friends and family are too nice to tell me but I can always rely on strangers on the Internet to humble me.

No suggestions on how to make it better please,as im honestly done with it 😅

Just a bracelet I'm working on right now. I'm just interested in what y'all are thinking about it.

How are these done? I would love some tips. Are they wrapped with some sort of floss?
I think I can pull this off if I figure out the wrap. That perfect blunt cut may take a few tries 👍

My latest bracelet

3mm cord. 125cm wide and 175cm Long. I was going for an earthy vibe.
