Making a macrame wall hanging even if you are just starting out is quite possible. However, you have to be reasonable for your very first project. While there are some impressive decorative pieces out there, these aren't really projects for novices. Why not learn macrame with more modest projects but which will already have a great effect in your interior decoration? With quality equipment, a project adapted to your level and tutorials to accompany you, you will see that you will do wonders!
Choose your material for macrame without making a mistake
Don't start compulsively buying spools of yarn of all colors right away! Of course, it's pretty, but not really useful if you've never made a single macrame knot .
Like all creative hobbies, you have to learn a few basics . In addition, if you do not know which macrame rope to choose, you may be wrong. The strands do not all have the same diameter, there are different materials and their rendering must correspond to the result you want to obtain. The larger the creation, the thicker the yarn will be needed, but if you want to make fine and intricate designs, your work will be more enhanced by a thinner yarn. This is why buying the right yarns can sometimes be complex.
If you want to make a macrame suspension , it will also be necessary to determine the support on which you will mount your project. It is on this that the support wires will be tied. These are the ones who will carry all the work. Thus, there are wooden sticks, rings, driftwood… The choice of your future project will determine the medium chosen. It should be the right size and should be able to support the weight of the project without difficulty. As you will have understood, to choose your equipment, you have to know which realization to go for.
