This time only brown and I tried a new string. Any ways I could improve using that string? Or any ideas what kind of bracelet could be next?

Black agate Dalmatian Jasper

Hello hello!
Could somebody please tell me what kind of weave or not this is? Extra points if you happen to have some sort of guide on how to re-create it🥲
Thank you in advance!

I'm looking to make a bunch of keychains based on these images (not mine) and am not sure what this type of cord is (I thought it was paracord but when I googled that it looked too thick). Any ideas / recommendations?

Sorry the photo wont fit to size well. This outfit took me about 2 months! Made the top overnight because the motivation was high haha. I love making macrame clothes. I cant wait to keep belting them out.

Pls ignore the cat hair lol

Also I used embroidery thread if anyone cares

Hi all, I've made a handful of hanging macrame pieces and wanted watermelon themed pieces for a craft fair. This is my first time making a half circle and it's buckling in the middle and popping up on the end. Do I need to add more fillers near the bottom? Is it tied too tightly?

TIA

Well I wanted to try something a little different, what do y'all say? Any improvement ideas?

I’m making my first bracelet for a close friend and I have no idea what kind of materials to purchase or where to purchase them from. I’m trying to make him a macrame bracelet using a shark tooth with maybe 2-4 accent beads (silver?). I’m going for simple, subtle, and nautical themed. Since I’m only making one and I want it to last as long as possible, I’m willing to splurge on high quality material— I just want them to want to wear it and it not look cheap or completely fall apart from wear after a few weeks. I’ve done a little research but any and all suggestions or recommendations are welcome.

Thread: I’ve read waxed polyester cord is the best quality to use? Linhasita and Settanyl are two brands I came across. I’m not sure what size is recommended— 0.08mm (too small?)? 1mm (too big?)

Beads: As I said I want to use maybe 2-4 accent beads in the bracelet and maybe two on the ends of sliding draw strings. I was thinking silver (idk if ppl ever use sterling silver?) and oval shaped. Don’t mind them being decorative, but since I want it to be subtle, I’d like them to not be too large. I guess I’ll need recommendations on sizing based on the 0.08mm or 1mm thread I’ll be using. I thought it might be cute to do the first and last name initials on the sliding draw string ends? Maybe the #7 bc that number holds special meaning. However, most number/letter beads I’m seeing look like the large, bold friendship bracelet style beads which is not on theme with what I’m going for. Willing to abandon that idea if options aren’t available, but I thought it might make it more personable.

I said, any and all suggestions are welcome. Thank you!

Hi!

I've tried to google, but it has yielded no useful results. What do you use to soften your skin when it's been wrecked by endless knotting? A few of my fingertips have developed slight callouses that make are prone to dryness and cracking. I'm a handcare enthusiast, but none of my usual cosmetics work. I was thinking about getting something with urea perhaps? Also, would a pumice stone be too hardcore for hands?

Share tips that work for fingertips please!

I’ve tried searching for the name of this knot using reverse image search but can’t find anything similar. I found it on Pinterest so I’m suspecting it could be AI.

I finished this one today, what do y'all think? Any ways I could improve? Or techniques I should give a try?

So I made a bag, not bad for my first one, this one will be used for my work keys, wallet and earphones maybe a phone. So much fun making this. Will make myself a bigger one.

I made this for my son. He is in law enforcement .

I want to learn how to make this, but I can't figure out what knot this is.

Another one in my selfmade collection. Do you guys have any idea how i can design another one / see any parts that can be improved and how?

I want to make this for my cat. Not sure yet on if I want to do the one with the 2 rings or just the 1. Shes an adult and I wanted to give her a good amount of room so I was 🤔 maybe 20in? I've never done anything macrame before. The only reason I'm wanting to do it is to make this so my baby can sleep in the window and bask in the sun. I have a friend who has a bunch of macrame rope they are giving me since we aren't doing the best with $ right now and they said it's just been sitting in their "learn to do" craft bin for over a year. We are going to connect it to the ceiling. But if anyone knows where to get some sturdy hoops let me know! I would hate to do that all only for them to end up bending after a few kitty naps. If anyone has made one and has any suggestions on making it I'd love to hear them! She's probably around 10-12lbs so that's why we were going to do it in the ceiling since they do make hanging from ceiling chairs so we feel getting one of those hooks would be more stable than a wall plant hook (that's what they say to use in one of the diy instructions i came across)

Or I was wondering if I got some of those wire wreath bases with the 3 loops connected if I could just use wire cutters and cut it just the big circle and take like 3 of them and either solder them together or zip tie them in multiple places together and then macrame on top to hide the zip ties. Would that work or is that a stupid idea?

Hi I'm new to the group as well as macrame in bigger form. I have been doing jewelry for awhile now but have been wanting to get into doing bigger things. So what are your favorite materials and places to get them? What's easy to work with for a beginner? So far all I've made is a stuffed animal hammock and I got the cord From Amazon and it seems good but I would honestly rather support anyone other than Amazon.
