Macrame weaving is experiencing a rise in popularity. These are not only man-made panels or planters but also curtains, hammocks, lamps, and unusual decor for home and garden.
Macrame is a knot-weaving technique that uses threads, ropes, plaits, and cords. To create patterns, different types of knots are used: fastening, loop, rapeseed, figure-eight knot, and others.
We tell you what macrame products you can make yourself to decorate your home.
1. Fixtures
Openwork bindings on the base of the lamps will create graceful shadows on the walls in the evening. And in the daytime – they will add comfort.
2. Pillows
A plain pillowcase will be decorated with a macrame cover in a contrasting color. Weaving in the same color as the pillow will add texture to the smooth fabric. Patterned and colored macrame pillows will add variety to a one-color sofa, bed, or couch.
3. Bedspreads
Bedspreads using the macrame technique look gentle and weightless. They are used instead of a blanket to decorate a bed or a sofa in the living room.
4. Tablecloth
Openwork tablecloth will bring the warmth of a hand-made thing into the interior and add decorativeness to a dining table or a coffee table in the living room.
5. Wall panels
Macrame wall decoration is the most common decor in this technique. Types, sizes, and patterns can be varied. For coloring macrame panels, a fashionable ombre color transition is also used.
6. Dream catchers
A kind of wall panel – a dream catcher. It will decorate the bedroom, where it is most often used, the children’s room, study, living room, and veranda of a country house.
7. Flower pot
An easy way to apply basic macrame skills or try your hand at this art is to create flower pots. This technique is now in fashion and is used in any part of the house.
8. Carpets
Macrame carpets and rugs will decorate the bathroom, next to the bed, and separate areas of the apartment.
9. Hammock
The cozy do-it-yourself hammock will become a place for a comfortable stay in a room or on the veranda of a country house. An airy, light hammock will turn out if it is completely woven from strong threads, but a hammock made of dense fabric with weaving on the sides looks no less decorative.
10. Stools, armchairs, poufs
Seats can be decorated with removable macrame covers, or consist of a solid base and a macrame seat. Such seats are convenient for storage: when folded, they do not take up much space, and they are lightweight due to the wicker seat.
11. Curtains
Openwork curtains will decorate doorways and interior openings, replace a blackout canopy, and can also be used instead of or in conjunction with curtains. Macramé curtains look gentle in the same color as tulle or curtains.
12. Various decors
Many more things can be made from macrame: magazine racks, decorative wall decorations, covers for voluminous decor, and hanging shelves. Having stuffed your hand on small items, you can try to make a cradle.
An idea for experienced craftsmen – a house bed for children.
13. Decoration for an occasion
Gently and romantically, macrame will decorate the occasion, primarily if it is held in nature. A thin web of macrame will add airiness and grace to a beautiful wedding ceremony or birthday celebration.
