Why we love macrame

You can use macrame to create gorgeous crafts out of string and cord without the use of knitting or sewing - instead, you tie many different kinds of knots to create your art. Macrame is often used to create flat wall hangings, and can also be used to create both decorative and functional supports for shelves, hanging planters and lanterns, as well as lampshades, dreamcatchers and wearable accessories like bracelets and anklets.
