About this Event
This session we'll be making our own festive macrame decorations from a variety of cords in different sizes.
It's the perfect craft for anyone who likes to make their own decorations and learn new craft techniques. You'll learn all the macrame knots you'll need to make a variety of different designs and you should leave with a few finished pieces and a few instructional sheets to make more at home.
The techniques learnt in this session will work for much bigger macrame pieces too, so this is only the beginning!
