I really love the macrame trend, but I am not much of a wall hanging person. I came up with this table runner so that I could showcase some macrame without it having to be on a wall. This is a really easy and cheap DIY, and chances are if you spent anytime making friendship bracelets then you already know how to make the knot I am going to show you.
Materials
• 300 feet cotton braided cord
I bought my cord from Walmart for $12. It's clothesline cord.
• Scissors
• Tape
Before you begin...
You should probably brush up on your square knots. Working with this amount of string can be a little cumbersome, so I recommend practicing on something a little smaller. Here are some easy steps.
And lastly, if you have a cat LOCK THEM UP NOW! This project will drive your cat crazy. Don't ask how I know this.
This is a really fun runner and I think it will look great on my table for Spring.
I would love to see how you made this project your own! Leave your DIY pictures in the comments below!

Thank you! Hahah -- it does remind you of all the bracelets you used to make!
DeleteCan I pay you to make these?!
ReplyDeleteHey Nicole! I am thinking of adding them to my Etsy, but until then feel free to email me with exactly what you're thinking! sallie[at]theurbanacres[dot]com
Deletewhat are the dimensions of your final project?
ReplyDeleteThis one is about a foot wide and 6ft long. I had plenty of cord to go longer, but I didn't want it to hang over on the table.
