How to Make Minimalist Macramé Ornaments

Materials You’ll Need:

• Thin white macramé cord or cotton string
• Wooden rings (about 2-3 inches in diameter)
• Scissors
• Optional: Wooden beads

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare your cord: Cut 4-6 pieces of macramé cord, each about 24 inches long.
2. Attach cords to the ring: Fold each cord in half and use a lark’s head knot to attach it to the wooden ring.
3. Start knotting: Begin creating your macramé pattern. For a minimalist look, stick to simple knots like square knots or half-hitch knots.
4. Create a geometric shape: As you knot, form a simple geometric shape like a triangle or diamond.
5. Add beads (optional): Thread wooden beads onto some of the cords for added interest.
6. Trim and finish: Once your design is complete, trim the excess cord, leaving a short fringe if desired.
7. Create a hanging loop: Use a piece of cord to create a small loop at the top of the wooden ring for hanging.

Tips:

• Keep your design simple and symmetrical for a truly minimalist look.
• Use different sized wooden rings to create variety in your ornament set.
• Experiment with different knot patterns, but remember that less is more in minimalist design.
