Macrame for Beginners: Bottle Bag with Maddy
Event description
What better way to learn macrame that making a very useful water bottle carry bag! This beginner bag is perfect to stay H2O hydrated, with your loyal drink bottle by your side.
From festivals to going to the beach or the gym, these bags are made with t-shirt yarn making them washable and stretchy.
So many creations are possible with macrame, which in its basic form is a series of simple knots. These bottle bags are a good beginner project, as the knots themselves are extremely simple but are functionally sound and with some glitzy macrame cord make for a celebratory gift or keeper.
This is also a useful project to get your head around 3D macrame (like pot plant holders). Once you've given it a go, making your next bag will be much simpler and faster.
