MAKE YOUR OWN MACRAME CURTAIN

1. Tie four strands together on a foam core board and put pins into the top knot and at the bottom of the
two middle strands to keep those in place.
2. Take the outer right strand (pink) and pass it to the left side over the other middle two strands. Take the
outer left strand (yellow) and pass it underneath the pink strand, behind the middle strands, and over the
pink strand on the other side.
3. Pull the two strands tight. Now you just reverse what you did in the first step! Take the outermost left
strand (which is now the pink) and lay it across the middle two strands. Take the outermost right strand
(which is now the yellow) and pass it underneath the pink, behind the two middle strands, and over the
pink on the other side. Pull these two strands tight until they make a knot with the woven strands from the
previous step. That's the hardest part! The rest of the steps just repeat these basic motions.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 with four more strands to make another knot right next to your first knot. Bring the two
rightmost strands of the first knot to make a new group with the leftmost two strands of the second knot.
5. Repeat your basic knot with the new group by taking the outer right strand (purple) and passing it to the
left side over the middle two strands. Take the outer left strand (green) and pass it underneath the purple
strand, behind the middle strands, and over the purple strand on the other side.
6. Pull the two strands tight. Now reverse the first step! Take the outermost left strand (which is now the
purple) and lay it across the middle two strands. Take the outermost right strand (which is now the green)
and pass it underneath the purple, behind the two middle strands, and over the purple on the other side.
Pull these two strands tight.
7. Divide the middle group of strands by moving the two leftmost strands left and the two rightmost
strands right. Repeat the basic knot with both the groups and continue this process until you have done as
many rows as you would like.
