Intro to Macraweaving: Make a Wall Hanging

“We've reached the end of the journey. Thank you so much for taking this course with me! I really hope you enjoyed it and feel inspired to keep exploring the world of macraweaving. It is now time to work on your project. This could mean finishing the tapestry you started while completing the exercises or you could start a brand new project! Either way, I strongly suggest you take the time to gather inspiration and make a unique project of your own. Make sure to keep track of your progress with different pictures of each step. It would be great if you could also explain the choices you've made along the way and tell me if you have any doubts. This will help me understand your creative process and guide you better if you need advice. These are the main steps to follow: Inspiration and Mood Board Make separately themed Pinterest boards, for instance, one for macramé inspiration, one for weaving, one for colour palettes, one for texture and one for other inspirational non-fibre art objects. Then, put together your own mood board using images from the different Pinterest boards.

The Design and Materials Use the mood board as inspiration for your design and make a sketch. Based on this sketch and the mood board, choose the materials for your tapestry and calculate the amount of material you will need. The Tapestry Measure and cut the cords before you start the macramé base of your tapestry. Add your woven details. Clean up the back and add the finishing touches. I can't wait to see what you have created! Upload your Final Project by clicking on ‘Create your project’. I’ll do my best to respond to each and every one of your comments as soon as possible. In the meantime, participate in the forum, comment on others' work, and interact with the community! Bye!”
