✨ Crafting Your Macrame Masterpiece: The Essentials ✨
When it comes to Macrame bags, all you really need are Macrame cords. But hey, if you’re feeling a tad extra, some patterns call for cute bag handles and shiny metal clasps.
Hunting for Macrame bag handles?
Etsy is your haven! You’ll find a treasure trove of wooden, bamboo, and metal handles there. And don’t forget those metal key clasps to attach your snazzy bag strap.
Now, on to cords!
For Macrame bags, cord sizes usually range from 3-5 mm. Depending on the vibe you’re chasing, you have a buffet of cord types to pick from – single twist, 3-ply, and braided. My heart beats for Bobbiny Macrame cords. Why? They’re eco-friendly, buttery smooth, budget-friendly, and available in a rainbow of trendy hues.
Remember, always stick to pattern suggestions when picking your cord type and size. Different cords can jazz up or tone down the final look of your bag.
