Macrame –

If you are new to this term – It’s the art of knotting strings in a certain pattern. While Knotting and weaving can be quite tedious, Macrame comes in handy. Once you get the hang of it, you can easily knot yourself one. I am no pro at this, but this Fishnet  Knotting pattern is the easiest one I feel.

I have knotted the fishnet pattern on empty beer bottles, it can be done on anything you like, I am going to make hanging pots soon, But the process remains the same.  So, Let’s get started with this…..

Check out the video and get the instructions down below.

Supplies :

• Beer Bottle
• Jute Twine 
• Fevicol /Glue
• Scissors
• Paintbrush (optional)

Directions:

1. Start by wrapping the twine around the neck of the bottle. Tie an overhand knot and cut the extra twine.
2. Measure a strand twice the height of the bottle and cut such 6 strands.
3. Now, Fold each strand in half and start looping.
4. Take one of the six strands, loop it through the strand, circled around the bottleneck making an overhead knot again and lightly pull it through.
5. Repeat the process with all the remaining five strands. Adjust all the six strands at equal distance and secure them tightly.
6. Now, take an adjacent strand of each and knot them together and repeat the process all the way down to the bottom of the bottle, Until you encapsulate the bottle in a Fishnet pattern.
7. Once you reach the bottom, tie all the strands together in a single knot at the center and cut any extra twine. 
8. Moving on to the neck, Simply wrap the twine all the way up. Use glue / Fevicol to secure in place.
9. Let the glue dry for 10- 15 mins.

And Your Bottles are Macramed!!!! Use them as Planters, or as hanging planters.

( just wrap a twine to make a handle and use them as hanging planters)

OR Use them as lamps 🙂

You can knot the fishnet pattern on anything you want.
