What’s it all about?
Macramé, or the art of knotting, is having a swift revival since the 70s. It’s easy and affordable. You don’t need any tools and you can spice up any room with a wall art or planter.
Instead of making planters with rope, we’ll be making t-shirt yarn so you can turn old t-shirts into gorgeous macramé planters. This is a fun class where creativity and sustainable practices collide.
What will we cover?
We’ll be learning:
- How to make t-shirt yarn out of old t-shirts. You can use this yarn to crochet, knit, macramé and do all sorts of other crafts.
- Once we have our yarn ready, we’ll learn the basic knots to make a planter including the half knot, 4 strand braid and a square knot.
What will you need?
- A couple of old t-shirts or fabric (it works best with no embroidery and no ribbed cotton)
- A pair of scissors
- Optional: a pot plant you’d like to hang, macrame style.
