For your class project, you will be creating a series of Macramé art pieces, using different patterns and stitches. Each project will take around an hour to complete. You can divide that into several days, depending on the time that you have. I just recommend being consistent with the practice to stay on track.

To start your project first watch all the preparation videos:

Materials
Preparing the Dowel
Choosing the Right Cord
Preparing Your Mind & Work Space

Also, download the resources in the "Resources" section as they can be very useful for you during practice.

The first project is creating a Square Knot. You will learn the basic knot used in Macramé - this will give already the skill of creating any pattern that you want. It covers the step-by-step guidance and tips that will help you along the way.

Next, you will learn how to create a Spiral Stitch and the Pearl which will give you even more possibilities of patterns and designs. Both of these classes are a great warm-ups for the final projects.

Then, you will create a first Wall Hanging Art, based on the stitches that you learned. It will give you an understanding of how to create a Macramé, what are the most important principles in the design, and an experience on using the skills in practice.

The next project will be the functional art - The Plant Holder. It will teach you how to make the basic pattern which you can expand later to other design ideas. You will have an understanding of how to create any plant holder you want.

And the final project is the Heart-Shaped Macramé. It will teach you an important lesson of giving a shape to your Macramé projects so that you can create whatever you imagine.
