[@georgettealegria6383]

Do you know how much total macrame cord was used for one? Trying to figure out how much cord I need! :)

[@AndreaSanchez-bd1ly]

you're the best

[@AndreaSanchez-bd1ly]

22 inch = 56 cm (apr)

[@Dannotello1982]

@@georgettealegria6383 I guessing the 5ft cord is the 1m 55cm Then it would be x5 chords 76cm and the gap fillers are the last number

[@phoebevella]

for those of you who made one and it became curved or bowl like this happened to me as well. try making looser knots. I also restarted and used a thin piece of cardboard and pinned it down to the cardboard to make sure my coaster stayed flat. hope this helps :)

[@DrDre5268]

This happened to me as well. Once done, you can also wet the coaster, place it between two flat and heavy items (like a textbook), let it sit for about an hour, and this should flatten it out. Just put foil or some sort of plastic between the macrame and the textbook so that the book doesn't get wet.

[@katerinafraiman8337]

Thank you so much for your tips, very helpful!!! ❤

[@chocoheartss]

@@DrDre5268 yes, or maybe just place a book or something on top to flatten it up

[@katieprest310]

It sounds like you might have needed to add in more strings, any time you have a gap, add in!

[@caligurlz28]

@@katieprest310 was my thoughts exactly

[@RSABCDEFG]

Great tutorial! I made 3 coasters last night. First one was... a total mess. But the second two came out pretty much perfect! I learnt that you need to push the loop of the knot tight up against the previous one so it's perpendicular to the holding cord. Super easy once you get the hang of it.

[@lallybean]

How much macrame did you use total for each one?

[@RSABCDEFG]

@@lallybean can only offer an estimate sorry, but I used about 40m for 5 coasters. So probably 6-8 metres per coaster?

[@ilsemarie1973]

Perfect tutorial! Easy to follow, clear instructions. I am an intermediate/advanced knotter, it took me about 25 minutes to finish one of these coasters :)

[@shineval]

Podrias decirme el gtosor del cordon???

I watched at 75 percent speed because to me, you were speaking at 90mph but that said, it's a super-clear video. Thank you!

This is my first time trying to make a macrame coaster and am excited. The tutorial is extremely easy and simple to understand. I hope the coaster turns out well :)

Such clear instructions - a delight, after all the talk-fests I have endured! Fabulous for a beginner. Thankyou.

[@brihope1020]

I highly agree 👍

[@kaykayyou9088]

SERIOUSLY. I about wept with joy when the intro was less than 10 sec.

[@helenxsarah]

Best tutorial I’ve seen, it turned out great, thank you! 😊 If it starts to curl my advice would be make looser knots and add more additional strings. I used just over 10 metres in total to complete one coaster.

[@Lauren-zk5yp]

Best coaster video! Love how ya explained the knots

[@gutslappa]

Thanks for this! Super simple and to the point. I appreciate not having to skip through a lot of extra stuff to get to the tutorial, and it's easy to follow even though I don't know knot names. This looks like it would be really great large-scale to make a rug as well which is what I would like to try. Feeling inspired to maybe go get some cord...

[@Redeemed27]

My kind of tutorial. Just straight up easy to follow and no fluff! Thank you ♥️

[@cassiopeia7353]

Having so much fun with this. Your explanation was clear and very easy to follow. Made a few of my own in a couple hours!

[@Strutability]

I'm blown away! Up until now I had only see loosely tied wall decorations made from macrame and I always thought they looked tacky but these are so cute! Thank you for opening my eyes to this art form 😊

[@marycanton7585]

Great tutorial! It’d be helpful to know how much cord in total (example: 1 5 foot cord, 5 30 inch cords, 4 26 inch cords, 4 XX inch cords etc . I thought I only needed the 5 ft and 5 30 inch cords until I got into it then realizing I actually needed more cording then originally listed.

[@SuperKcourts]

She does say that you need to add cords when a gap forms, unfortunately these gaps will be different depending on how tight you do the knots and how thick or thin your cord is

[@ruqayyahfarhan9592]

this is so helpful! thank you so much!

[@colb3590]

@@SuperKcourts It would be more helpful if all the cords needed were given at the start of the video. Mary Canton thought only two sizes of cord were needed. Its not until you are half way through the video that you are told to add more cords, other youtubers give a list of all materials required at the start of their tutorials.

[@staceydickinson8021]

I'm in agreeance with this.. I would have appreciated knowing all the various cords needed right from the very beginning.. and now I'm just adding as I go along.. kind of winging it

Just incase anyone tries this. I’m left handed and realized I was creating the right side ( pretty side) of my project upside down instead of facing up. Also I suggest not making the loops too tight. I would just say snug. I might have more tips once it’s finished.

I am asking for the size of the strings in cm

According to the notes, she's using 3mm diameter cord, which would be .3cm. If you are referring to the lengths: 5' Holding cord = 152.4 cm 30" knotting cords = 76.2 cm (you will need 5 of these to start)

So I just started trying my hand at macrame, and I've been trying this tutorial for a couple days, but I just can't get it.🥴 When I finish the first row there is a BIG gap, and I have to add like two extra strands...but even after, as soon as I start the second row I have to add a new strand every few strands.🥴

Mine turned out pretty good, but not flat. Also, is it normal to have to keep adding so much string to it?

Hi, I would add more cord to fill in any gaps. Hope this helps.
