logcabinmama Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Here is another craft you don't hear about often. Here is a site for learning the basic knots, for macrame. http://www.knotingwork.com/Pages/knots.html I did this one time, and then never did it again. Have others done this craft?? (((((HUGS))))) Quote Link to comment
Kygal Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 this really looks like something i would like to try. Quote Link to comment
jillg Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I've made hemp necklaces, which is macrame knots on a small scale. I haven't made anything large like a belt or plant hanger or anything though, too many other projects going. Quote Link to comment
Kygal Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 i have made hemp necklaces as well. not in a long time. my sister in law makes a lot of them, so we usually all end up with one each at christmas. hee hee i use macrame to put straps on the purses and other bags i make.

moonstar Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 I've made large hanging planters as well as small ones. Sold a bunch and gave a bunch away at Christmas time. Fun to do. It's time consuming. Haven't macramed since the 1980's except for a few things for myself. Quote Link to comment
furbabymom Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Is anyone else having trouble with this link? I can't get the page to come up. Quote Link to comment
Snowmom Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 you are so right, I put that there lets see, how long ago. I suppose it has been changed at the site. for bringing it to our attention. I'll try to find the right link as soon as I can, right now, it is late and I need to breakfast. Then I'll see about fixing it. Yes, it was me, but during the last change in Mrs. S., our names got all mixed up and so those of mine are now under LCM. Quote Link to comment
Snowmom Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Ok, so I didn't wait. Here are a few links that did work for me just now. I did a google search and the link that I had before just isn't working there either. http://www.43things.com/things/view/283190 http://www.creativity-portal.com/howto/art...ts/macrame.html http://jewelrymaking.about.com/od/macramep...ctsArticles.htm and books, http://www.candjcraftsupply.com/macrame_%2...CFQ1dPgodzE0eYg for letting us know.

furbabymom Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Thanks Snowmom! Quote Link to comment
Snowmom Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 . I may have to see about doing some of that again, only did a couple things, so would be interesting to see if I could make something useful this way. Quote Link to comment
furbabymom Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I made a macrame rainbow wall hanging once at Girl Scout camp. That's about as far from useful as it gets, LOL! Quote Link to comment
Nett Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I hope this picture comes through. My girlfriend made this for her grandson. I am waiting on the pattern now. open the pic and see. http://by132w.bay132.mail.live.com/mail/...mp;n=1850161437 Quote Link to comment
furbabymom Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Your link took me to my hotmail inbox... Quote Link to comment
Nett Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 That is strange. When I pulled it up it showed the picture. I opened an extra tab to put it in. I just clicked it and clicked open and it showed the picture. Quote Link to comment
Nett Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Okay furbabymom, when I did it this time it took me to my sign in too. I don't know what I have done wrong. The picture is of a cradle that she made with macrame and it is gorgeous! Hope I can get this figured out to share with you guys. Quote Link to comment
furbabymom Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I use www.photobucket.com to store the pictures I want to share online. I just save the picture to my computer, and then upload it to photobucket. Then you can insert the code to have the picture put right into the message. Quote Link to comment
Nett Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Let us see if I got it right this time. http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r126/AliceAnnette/3.jpg Quote Link to comment
Nett Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 here is a couple of closer pics http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r126/Al..._Bichel_006.jpg http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r126/Al...te/SLEEPING.jpg So is this a cool thing or not? I am waiting on the pattern now. Quote Link to comment
furbabymom Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 That is beautiful!!! I love it! Looks like that precious baby does too! :cool1: Quote Link to comment
Nett Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Okay folks here is the sad news........she made the pattern and keeps it in her head. So no passing it on. She (like I) is very creative but does not always write patterns down. So when one is requested she just builds it from memory. Quote Link to comment
Snowmom Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 yet for a couple minutes at least. Nett, that is really nice. Now, did you realize you can put the picture right in the post? Just click on the IMG code and it will copy the picture and then just paste that into the post. I've been using photobucket for a long time now. Quote Link to comment
KatMom Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 what I am looking for is a place to purchase the balls and spools of jute in both natural colors and colors. Also the handmade looking beads that were used in that time.We made many beautiful Items at that time.Thank You-Katmom Quote Link to comment
Snowmom Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 KatMom, The only places I know of would be like Hobby Lobby and other craft stores. I've not seen this type of stuff in any of the Wal-Mart stores. I haven't been to the dime store lately, but, don't remember seeing any Macrame stuff in there the last time I was in there. I'll do a search on line, and maybe a person can get it on line. Quote Link to comment
Snowmom Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 again, Here are just a couple places I found on line. http://www.macramesuperstore.com/ http://www.kingskountry.com/ Check along the left side and you will see where it says, "Macrame Cord". I'll keep checking though. Quote Link to comment
Snowmom Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Found a couple more places. Hemp Cord: http://shop.rings-things.com/cart/pc/viewP...idproduct=16751 Here is a page with instructions. http://www.rings-things.com/projects/68002-10.htm Hope some of these help you. Quote Link to comment
