I love a good garland as much as the next blogger, so when I found myself needing to add some color to my studio, I immediately thought of something involving macrame. I didn't have tons of white rope sitting around, so I grabbed some yarn from my weaving stash, and one hour later had a much more cheerful studio!
The best thing about this project is how it adds a lot of color and interest without needing tons of time or materials, which makes it a perfect project for table backdrops at parties or a wedding.
Supplies
-chunky yarn in similar thicknesses in a variety of colors
-scissors
-washi tape or push pins
Step One: Cut one length of yarn for your base as long as you'd like. I cut mine to be about 8' long. Then cut up lengths of yarn that are between 2'- 3' long depending on how much fringe you want to hang down. You can always trim these up to be even later, but as you knot them together, they'll get shorter. I spaced my yarn out every 2" and then spread them out even more after I tied my knots. You may only need about 30-35 individual cuts of yarn to fit this size garland.
Step Two: I hung my base strand to the wall with push pins and then added my individual pieces by tying a single knot over the base.
Step Three: Then I started my second row of knots by skipping the first strand of yarn and tying a double knot with the second and third strands. I centered it about 2" down from the base.
Step Four: Then I continued along tying the next two strands of yarn together about 2" down, making sure they were mostly centered between the knots on the base piece of yarn.
Step Five: Then I started my second row of knots back where I started, but tied a knot with the first strand and the second strand. Then I continued to tie knots all the way across about 2" below the last knot. Once I was done with my second row, I went back to the left side again. I left my first strand alone and knotted the second and third strands again and repeated the process all the way across.
