  2. Hi Heidi!!
    I was wondering if there is a way to get the instructions to make the diamond pattern hanging from a metal rack?
    I can’t seem to find a link anywhere for such?
    I am in love with it and want to give it a go….
    Thank you in advance for a prompt response,
    Regards,
    Pat

  3. Yes, I have tried macrame and I’m making plant hangers, wall hangings, coasters…
    I love your site. I was looking for a site like this for a long time and finally found one.
    I love your tutorials as well. I will be back checking out more things you have posted tomorrow.

  5. I would like to find a pattern and instructions for a fairly large lamp shade.
    I have a hanging lamp in kitchen and want to cover existing shade which is made of capise shell.

  6. I did macrame quite obsessively as a kid. I was very artistic but nerdy smart, so I became an engineer. Then my daughter went to college wanted a hip wall hanging. I made a cool one from my imagination. I make lots of things now and never use a pattern. Those degrees paid off! LoL

    I love seeing your work!

  7. I used to make macrame years ago when I was a teenager, back in the 70’s! That tells my age ha! Now that I see macrame make a comeback it’s so refreshing to see it. I’m so excited to he into it, although I’m a little rusty. 🙂

  8. I learned to macrame in 1975 in art class in high school. i am now 56 and making paracord bracelets for family and friends. Trying to decide if I should attempt to open a Website to sell them, they are easy to make. I am going to attempt to make one of the easy patterned hangings you have on your website for a wedding gift for one of the nurses that is help taking care of me.

  10. Heidi,

    I would like a beginner project that measures approximately 36″ wide and 36″ long for a wall in my bathroom. Do you have a pattern I can buy that fits that criteria?

  11. Isn’t it wonderful to be able to achieve something so beautiful? Heidi you’re a gem for sharing these gorgeous patterns. I just tripped upon your site and I am so, so glad I did.

  13. Heidi…I have never done macrame before but would love to have a go. What would be a good pattern for me to start with???

  14. I taught myself macrame and made many different things in the 1980’s, even a Christmas tree that was used for many, many years. Then I got into other crafts but am excited to try a wall hanging. I totally love your coral natural, but center diamond and square twist chevron run a close second. Is there any chance of my getting one of these patterns. I am fairly new to Pintrtrest but did sign up for your emails. Any advice you have for me will be greatly appreciated.

    1. Thanks for reaching out, Gloria! Each of these patterns is available for purchase on Etsy.com. If you click the photo or the name of the pattern that you are interested in, it will take you to the shop where you can purchase the pattern. 🙂

  15. I love these patterns. Im a self taughter and need to learn a bunch of knots yet, but will be trying these when I do.

  16. I love Macrame. I’ve made many plant hangers, Indian corn, carousel, owls and a hammock swing. I am looking for something new to make.

  18. Four of Diamonds Macrame Pattern – I would like to have a go at creating this wall hanging – is there a set of instructions for it and a materials list.

    Reply

    1. Jacqui, if you click the image or the link below it, it will take you to the full instructions and materials list. 🙂

      1. Heidi – I clicked on all the links and the pictures and the only instructions that would come up were the last set. Would you please check the links and see if they have been moved? Thanks so much! I love the wall hangings and would like to try a few but have no idea how much string to buy. I might be able to figure out the knots but so much easier with instructions.

      2. I’m so sorry about that, Vicky! There appears to have been a glitch in the link-shortening program that I had used. They should all be updated and working now. I appreciate you letting me know!

  19. I did macrame Tiffany lamp shades in the 70’s as well as hanging tables and plant hangers. I actually made pretty good money too but it petered out. I’m so glad it’s coming back and I can’t wait to get into it again!

    1. Do you have any of the old plant hanger patterns? I made them back in the 70’s too but after 6 moves no longer have any of the patterns. Mine seemed more detailed than what I have been seeing on line.
