6 Everyday Uses for Macrame

I came across a tutorial for a simple bottle holder using basic macrame and gave it a go. Now I've been macrame-ing everything. A few lengths of cord, or twine, tied in the right knots, have a remarkable number of applications. Best of all, you don't need any hooks or needles to get started. If you have a spool of twine around, you can probably start now.

Step 1: Bottle holder

The tutorial that got me started is here. Go there first, then come back!

Of course, this covers other long, cylindrical items like umbrellas and yoga mats. You'll just need more string.

Thanks... this is awesome.  I've been looking for a way to do this with a rock pendant for a necklace.  I can modify this to be smaller and cinch the top together... wallah!

I've been meaning to do a macrame necklace for sometime now.  Too many projects!  If you do an Instructable on it, I'd like to see it!

Like a minimalist transparent bag. Thanks for the ideas!

Thanks! You've got to love something that only requires scissors and string. And I didn't even cover the shelves and tables that people make with macrame.
