DIY: How To Make a Macrame Bag

This is an easy pattern and great tutorial for a beginner. There are only 3 knots used for this purse, here is a link to my basic knots tutorial incase you should need it! • HOW TO: 7 MUST KNOW Ma...
Here is a link the the cord I used: amzn.to/47IEXsc
You will need 20 cords cut to 11 to 12 feet or 335cm to 365cm.
One cord tied into place(to add the 20 cords to!) about 4.5 feet or 136cm
Yarn needle to sew the sides

I made this but with paracord. It's a bit of a challenge here and there, and it's taught me to not try and join the edges late at night when I'm tired. Otherwise I am very happy with the result and I intend to make another one. My wife is very happy with it and she intends to show it off to her friends and family. Thank you for the tutorial.

This was my first macrame project and it really was perfect for a beginner. Thank you so much for the tutorial. I’m really proud I finished it because I usually have a hard time doing something to completion without quitting. It took me maybe 5 hours because I had to redo some of the knots. Great learning experience :)

[@soulfulnotions2648]

I have one planned down the pipe line, it’s not hard, same as this but just measure the width that you want and that’s how many strings across you’ll need! Wish I had more time to just hop on it lol but I’m a single mom and work full time, this is just my side passion project 😊

It may look complicated at first but your tutorial made it easier for me to do so! Thanks for making these awesome videos! My concern is, I have a laptop and I want to try to make this purse as my laptop bag. Is it possible? And how to mease? Should I add macrame cords from 20 cords of 12feet each to how many? Please help me This is my first macrame project :) trying to have a small business because my work is suspended. Thank you so much! More powers to your channel and stay safe!

[@soulfulnotions2648]

Ok so I can’t give you exact measurements because I haven’t made a lap top bag before and I don’t know what size your lap top is... but I think you should add more than 20 cords , add how many you need to make it the same width as your laptop and add a couple to be safe and depending on how big your lap top is, instead of 12 feet long for each cord, for my MacBook Air I would ESTIMATE about 18 to 20 feet, but once again I don’t know exactly. Macrame is mostly about trail and error and basically you need to make peace with failing every now and then and in tying. I make these project TWICE from my imagination before I make the ones for tutorials and that’s how I know how much and how many to use.

Hello, beautiful piece, qq..is it 12feet after the larks knot or the single piece is 12ft long? Basically when you hang it's half the height.

Could you slow down in the triangle part and explain a bit about the cords, that would be helpful:)

[@soulfulnotions2648]

You can adjust the playback speed by tapping the 3 dots.

[@gleehughes1542]

I wish the second row was slower....do you leave one string one the end or use all strands.

[@soulfulnotions2648]

It’s alternating square knots you ALWAYS leave 2 out. I linked my video on very slow basic beginner knots for anyone who had never done macrame before.

[@moiraferry36]

Before you cut the bottoms how much extra cord did you have hanging. Just curious for how big i could potentially make mine. Love this! ❤

[@soulfulnotions2648]

I think you could definitely pull off a decent amount more! Some were shorter than others but for tutorials I always over estimate so no one gets stuck not have enough rope in parts, and depending on the thickness of rope you use, that could easily happen! That being said, if you’re using a 4mm single ply, you could get several more inches, if if were rope or a thicker single ply, not much at all! I hope that helps, let me know if you have any more questions,:)

Yes just add more cords on in 2’s until it is as wide as you want:)

Great job! Greetings from Greece! Can you tell the multiples because I have a thinner string for bags and it would come out smaller than yours if I string 20.

yes if the song is smaller and you use the same amount of cords your bag will be smaller. You can always add more strings though...

[@celesteortega8384]

Are you skipping one rope every other row? I did and ended up with only 3 strands to work with at the end of my second row 🥴

[@soulfulnotions2648]

No 2, as you usually would! I have a tutorial called 7 basic macrame knots, the 2nd knot is the square knot which goes into alternating square knots, it’s a great tutorial and I hope this all helps!

[@oliviamartinez1569]

So glad I read the comments before starting! I ran into the same problem on my second row. The problem was that I used the last cord from the previous knot to start the next one. I undid the whole row and started again, using 4 cords to make the square knot, then the next 4 cords, and so on. And finally it comes out to 2 cords by the end!!

My cousin recently gave me macrame cords that one of their friends found in their garage. (Not sure if they knew it was macrame or thought it was yarn, since I’ve only knitted and crocheted). The ones they gave me were 6mm and braided (Maxi-Cord?). Would these be okay for a purse? I don’t have any wooden sticks at the moment for other projects.

Yes that should be fine, I have 2 market bag tutorials that I used almost that exact cord for I believe. You can make this clutch as well, I’ve never done it with braided cord but I think it will be bigger and must thicker, probably very beautiful.

Hi! The co4d I have is 3mm instead of 4mm. Will it work even if my cord is thinner? I will it be smaller?

yes it will totally work! it will be smaller so if I were you I would shorten the length of each cord by 6 inches, you won't need as much in length, but maybe add 8 more actual cords, meaning if it say 20 cords, use 28 cords to make it wider because you cords re skinnier, just make sure its an even number of cords!
