DIY🌿 3 ways to create Macrame Placemats

🌿3 ways DIY macrame placemats for husband
Hello everyone🌿 It’s Pim.
It’s been a while since I did my last video about macrame placemat. This time I found 3 ways to create practical and beautiful macrame placemats without changing my entire placemat or buying a new cord and creating new one over again. besides my husband found out that last video about macrame placemat was not practical to use as a placemat cause the cord is too thick, he suggested me to use 3 mm cord this time.

This mainly sharing “square knot” I made as main pattern and some basic tips by adding another knot and/or using another cord on both side (top & bottom) to make it different..in case you’re interested to create by not taking out the main pattern “square knots”.
During my process of making my third macrame placemat. It’s sort of funny cause I realized that I didn’t have much rope left on both side to create more knot or put more cord. I found a solution and it’s turned out great.
However I’m thinking of making this a series. if you have any idea, feel free to let me know.
I hope you find this video helpful to create your own macrame :) and thanks again for watching
