Supplies Needed

- 100% Cotton Macrame Cord (28 ft of 10 mm / 8 mm cord will do)

- Blue tape
How to Make a Macrame Wreath
Step 1:
Find the center of the Macrame cord and place a blue tape (or any tape) on it. Attach the center of the Macrame Cord to the Metal Ring.
Step 2: Start Your Half Knot
Begin knotting by running a half knot. Start with the cord on the far left, guide it over the ring and under the far right cord, leaving a loop on the left and its tail on the right.
Step 3: Create the Knots
Guide the cord on the right over the tail of the first rope under the ring and through the loop on the left. Then, pull both ends to tighten.
Step 4: Repeat Steps
Repeat steps 2 and 3. The repeated knot will form a spiral column of knots. Continue this knot until the entire ring is encased in the macrame spiral.
Step 5: Close the Loop
Pull the ends of the cord tight on the final knot. Cut the ends of the cord and glue the end of the knot to the beginning of the knot, creating a solid ring.
Step 5: Create a Hanger Cord
This part is super simple. Fold a 34-inch piece of the excess cord in half and tie a knot towards the end of the loose area to create the hanger cord.
Lay the Hanger Cord flat, then place the completed wreath halfway along the hanger cord.
Step 6: Add Greenery
Add your desired greenery into the area where the hanger cord and wreath meet.
Step 7: Bring Everything Together
Once you add your desired greenery, Bring the loop around the back of the wreath, then thread your tied cord ends through the loop, pulling them to tighten and hold everything together.
