What’s it all about?
Macrame, or the art of knotting, is having a swift revival since the 70’s. It’s easy, affordable, you don’t need any tools and can spice up any room with a wall art or planter.
Instead of making our planters with rope, we’ll also be learning how to make your own t-shirt yarn so you can turn those daggy old t-shirts into gorgeous macrame planters. Learn two skills in one fun class!
What will we cover?
We’ll be learning:
- How to make your own t-shirt yarn out of old t-shirts. You can use this yarn to crochet, knit, macrame and do all sorts of other crafts.
- Once we have our yarn ready, we’ll learn the basic knots to make a planter including the half knot, 4 strand braid and square knot.
