What am I going to do with macrame?

Yesterday, I made a post explaining why I have taken up the skill of macrame. If you haven’t read it yet, click here.

Anyway, something I realised I left out of that post was what I actually want to make with macrame. Which is like the most important thing of all this.

So I decided that I want to make friendship bracelets. And before you all freak out about ‘Oh no you’re a VSCO girl!’ (Btw I still don’t 100% know what that means), I am not a ‘VSCO girl.’ I just want to make friendship bracelets in peace.

I just like the look of them if I’m being honest. Like there are so many different patterns and designs you can make with them, and I think that is the bit that appeals most to me. There are so many possibilities, and you can then vary the colours. I just love the idea of it.

Another thing I want to clear up is that I won’t be attempting big wall macrame things. I definitely agree that they look cool, and it takes a it of skill to make something like that, but I just don’t think it is something I would enjoy much. So that is that. However, if you like making hanging macrame planters or whatever, go for it. Who am I to stop you?

What I don’t want to do. Although I do think it is pretty and it takes a lot of skill, I just don’t think I would be very interested in it.

I hope this post clears up any confusion anyone might have had about what I want to do with my macrame journey! Feel free to ask any questions or give any suggestions for macrame!

Thank you very much for reading, and I’ll talk to you in the next post.
