Hey guys! I’m excited to share with you three way to use macrame to create napkin decor for the holidays this year. These are fun, simple items that just take a few minutes to whip up but add a nice touch for the holiday season. As always, if you are enjoying my tutorials a quick like, comment and subscribe really helps me out. Thank so much. Let’s get started.

Cut one piece of 3mm string in the colour christmas red that is 1 ft long. Cut one piece of 3mm string in the colour eucalyptus that is 15 inches long and one piece that is 4 feet long. Fold the 15 inch piece in half. Fold the 1 ft piece in half and tie a bow around the eucalyptus string about 2 inches down from top. Fold the 4 ft piece in half to find the centre and then tie a square knot. Tie a second SK about 1 inch down from the first. Put the SK up the filer cords to create loops on the sides of your work. Tie 3 more SKs leaving a bit more space in between each SK to create bigger loops. Trim the ends.

This is a similar design to the first but I wanted to show you what it would look like to add a ring and use a neutral colour to create your tree instead. Cut one piece of 3mm natural string that is 1 ft long and one piece that is 4 ft long. Fold it in half to find the centre and then attach it to your 1.5 inch ring using a Cow Hitch Knot. Tie 5 SKs leaving more space in between each as we did to create the first napkin holder. Trim the ends.

Cut 3 pieces of 8mm natural string, each piece is 6 inches long. Cut a 2 foot piece of 3mm natural string. Set them for now. Cut a piece of 5mm natural string that is 2 feet in length. Fold it in half to find the centre and then tie an overhand knot about 2 inches down from the fold. Add one large bead and two medium beads to the ends. Grab the 3 8mm pieces of string and lay them in-between the 5mm string. Tie a reef knot to secure the 8mm string in place. Brush out the string. Grab your 3mm string and tie a gathering knot wrapping the string 3 times. Cut the top and then brush out the bottom to create more fringe. Trim the ends.

Thanks for watching!
