Description

Natalie Ranae taught readers the basics of designing macrame in her first book, Macrame at Home, and now she is back to teach next-level macrame projects. Just as Natalie created large-scale, chic macrame pieces for spas, such as the Knot Springs in Portland, Oregon, or The Beauty Barn in Ontario, Canada, readers will learn to craft sizable decorations for the home that take anywhere from 1-4 weeks. With the knotted-rope craft already making a huge comeback in home decor, this book will be a great asset to those who grasp the basic technique of macrame and now want to make large, astonishing pieces. Readers will follow Natalie's step-by-step instructions through 12 different intermediate and advanced macrame projects, from wedding event backdrops to wall hangings, from hammocks to chandeliers, from window curtains to multi-plant wall hangers, and even mats and bed headboards. With 12 guided designer pieces and beautiful photos, macrame crafters everywhere will feel empowered turning to this book to guide them through impressive projects. Readers will finally be able to skip the high prices for macrame decor in stores like Urban Outfitters and West Elm, and brag that they made their own professional, designer-looking pieces by hand. This book will have 12 projects and 100 photos.
