Basic Macramé: Knot Nature-Inspired Tapestries

“Congratulations! You have reached the end of this course. Thank you very much for participating. I'm so excited to have shared this part of your journey in macramé with you. Now it's time to work on your project and share what you have created! As you keep practicing and perfecting your art, remember to always try to plan this type of wall hanging and practice your knot tension. And don't be afraid to step back and take some time away from it if you feel stuck or tired! Often when I take a moment away and come back, I feel refreshed and ready for the challenge that was presented the last time I worked on the piece. Here are the essential steps to create your macramé tapestry: The Design Look for inspiration, choose the colors, and make a rough sketch of the design you want to create in Procreate or on graphic paper.

The Workspace Set up your workstation, cut your cord, and attach the cords you will use for the framework of the piece. The Upper Part of the Tapestry Begin knotting the outline of the sky and the top layer of the scenery, the top outline of the mountains. Layers of Color and Lower Part of the Tapestry Introduce color to the tapestry, using the square knot wrapping technique, then continue adding new layers and sections to the landscape. The Finish Finish off the tapestry by adding a final row of knots and weaving in all the loose ends. Once it's ready, style your macramé artwork in your home and take some pictures! I can't wait to see the project you come up with, so don't forget to share it in the forum. You can do so by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result and the steps that have led you to it. It would be great if you showed a picture of each step and added a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. Finally, I hope to see you in the forum — it's such a great way to see everyone's progress and encourage each other. If at any time you feel stuck, you will also be able to reach out for guidance there. I would love to see you continue your progress by challenging yourself to design your own original wall hanging. So, remember to share your designs! See you soon! ”
