Is this course for me

In this Macrame course you will make a macrame plant hanging with a variety of knots in the design.

Macramé is a French word that means knot; it is one of the oldest forms of art. Work is produced using knotting techniques. Basic macramé uses a number of different knots that when combined can create borders or braids to decorate bags, lamps, curtains or for this course – a plant hanger. Macrame has become very popular again in the last few years, and there are over 50 types of different knots that can be used to create beautiful designs.
