Plant hangers are cool, okay. And they are great macrame beginner projects. But let’s face it. How many plants can you hang in your house?
Worry not, sister. If you’re as obsessed with this popular trend as I am, there are ample projects that could and should be made in macrame. Especially when you see how crazy adorable they are. Just take a peek at this bassinet…
Have I got your attention now? Good. Grab your chai tea, mocha latte, or glass of wine, and get ready to be inspired.
Ever thought of a macrame yoga mat strap? Simple, functional, and very cute…
Or a vintage inspired belt?
And this is my favorite – a clever way to hide exposed cords!
Confident enough to try a larger project? Woven runners look stunning on rustic tabletops.
Feeling a bit more daring? Why not a lampshade?
And macrame curtains rock, totally…
But don’t stop there; macrame is perfect for screens or room dividers.
Now brace yourself for another project on my personal to-do list… a headboard!
And there’s so much more inspiration out there; I’m feeling dizzy. Rugs, placemats, cots…
Well, I think I’ve given you lots to ponder. But no great article is complete without an impressive finale, so here’s one last image to help stir your creative juices. Almost makes me want to have another baby (almost).
SO HERE’S THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION… I’d love your opinion on what macrame project I should tackle next. And I’ll post it here with a detailed, easy-to-follow tutorial. YOUR THOUGHTS, PLEASE! Just comment here on my blog or email myfrenchtwist@aol.com.
I would love to see a Tree of Life Hoop tutorial please
Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll consider that.
Hi, I love the light shade. Do you have a pattern I can download? Regards Tan
Unfortunately I don’t right now. I’m working on a light shade tutorial for the coming month, though.
Hi, Sure do like your.blog. I will be teaching a beginners macrame class late summer. I can’t find one I think is suitable. Like you, how many plant hangers does one need? I’m thinking if their are guys in the class do they many to make a plant hangers? Can you offer any advice, direction or even a pattern? Thx so much for your consideration. Hope you are doing well in these uncertain times.💞
That sink curtain. For sure!!!

Janet, I’ve gotten so many requests for a curtain tutorial, so I’m sure it will be in the near future!
Can you do the curtain over the kitchen sink? That is so lovely! And thank you for posting your tutorials. I just did the wall hanging and it was so fun. I want to do more, more, more. Your directions were perfect. 🙂
So happy you like my tutorials! I’ve been asked a lot about the curtain, so I guess I better do it soon!!

If not a tutorial, would you please tell what size cord was used for the window curtain? I’ve been searching for a macrame design just like this one. Perfecto! Thanks so much!
My guess would be they used cotton rope no smaller than 3/16″. You could go just a tad bigger, but not much. They sell a clothesline rope 3/16″ on amazon at a great price as well. I use it for most of my projects. Hope this helps!
Thank you so much! I’m really excited about trying this one!
You’re welcome, Cindy. Have fun!
I love the table runner but I’ve been on the hunt for a macrame tassel tutorial. I’ve seen some really cool intricate vintage German ones. I love the look and I am struggling to find any tutorials.
You’ve piqued my curiosity! I’ll start looking!😊
I have been obsessing over that PBteen macrame chanelier since I stumbled upon it a few months ago. . I’ve actually tried it, but for some reason when I do it it gets sort of pinched in in the middle. I’d absolutely love a tutorial for it. Thanks!
I agree! I love that chandelier!
The window covering is gorgeous, my kitchen window needs something like that! I’d love to see a tutorial for that one. Also, the table runner is lovely.
Thanks for replying!
LOVE your window covering above the sink!! Sooo pretty!!! Actually LOVE them all!!!! I did some macrame years ago, would’nt take me long to catch on again. SO, anything would be GREAT!!!
Thanks for replying!
Hi,
This is Neeti from Mumbai, India. Love Ur work, it’s crazy the stuff you have made, can’t think right now about what else you can do with macrame. I want to learn!
Nice visual treat! Thanks,
Thanks Neeti! Glad you stopped by my blog.
The lampshade is beautiful, but I guess what I’m most interested in learning to make are wall hangings. Thank you for your tutorials!
Thanks for your input Cynthia!
Love your blog, Would like a tutorial on the lamp shade and table runner.
Thanks for your input!
