So, today I’m excited to be sharing these DIY Macrame Christmas Ornaments.

    Hi,
    I have literally watched the video on the macrame ornaments about 100 times and tried to do it
    along with the video and for some reason I just can’t get it!!! Do you have any other tips that would help?
    I’m having some kind of mental block!!
    I really want to make these!
    Thank you,
    Andrea

      Hi Andrea, So sorry you’re having such trouble 🙁 It would help to know at which point you get stuck. As far as other tips are concerned: Remember that the filler cord should remain straight as you wrap the working cords around it. It’s not quite like tying a shoelace, for example, since only one of the cords wraps around the other. Also, don’t wrap around the filler cord too tightly.
      If I ever do a facebook live video (which I am considering), I’ll let you know! Also, you might want to watch some other YouTube videos that demonstrate the double half hitch knot (which is what I’m doing) and they might help you see it from some other perspectives. Hope this helps!
