DIY Macrame Coaster | Round Macrame Coaster | How To Make Them Flat

[@RikinikiDIY]

Hi everyone! Thank you for visiting this video 😊 For you guys who get difficulties with the half hitch knot, here is the tip: Do not pull both the cord on the left and the right side all together. 5:06 Pull only the cord that is on the left side (the working cord). The cord that is always on the right is only to direct the shape (horizontal, diagonal, round, or other shapes). And if this video is too fast for you, you can slow down by pressing the Settings button, select Playback Speed, and select 0.75 or 0.5 for a slower speed. Or you can take a look at this kzbin.info/www/bejne/jafPhXaXqsdkiJI for slower and clearer steps on each knot. I hope it will help you. Thank You and Good Luck!

I'm confused in measuring a cord please help me

[@kelleewalters7832]

There are alot of negative comments, it amazes me how rude people can be behind their phones. I wanted to say thank you for the tutorial, I successfully made my first coaster with this video. As a beginner, I did struggle here and there but re-watching and reading comments helped. I only had 2mm 3ply cord and I love how it turned out so I gave it a try with 4mm 3ply cord and its a bigger version that I find so pretty. They are currently being used for my candles and Ive received compliments from family on them. You know what I'll be gifting for Christmas this year! Thanks a bunch! ❤

[@RikinikiDIY]

Hi, thank you so much. I'm so happy reading your comment. Have a good day ❤

[@amylichter1559]

I love that you put the cord lengths and directions in your video

[@anuthomas7887]

To understand this you must first learn macrame knots then come and view it this is realy very helpful of those who already know the basic knots super I need such quick ones that saves my time❤

[@jodiecoles69]

Thank you! Such an easy tutorial to follow and my coasters have come out perfect!

[@nikkipaniagua2841]

You are a great teacher I am excited to make these coasters. 🎉

[@Aashbard01]

I just got into Macrame and your video was very easy to follow Thank you so much

[@rajeshwari403]

Finally was able to make it after hours😅! Took me a few hours to understand how the hitch knot works, I did one successfully and kept forgetting how to do it again but finally completed t)3 coaster. The only issue was I used a 3mm cord and didn’t know where to add the new cords as we went. There was too much gap at few places and I wondered if we could add multiple new cords with lark knot.

[@MaryWeaver-g8b]

Indeed you can!!!

[@michaelloftus9619]

What a great tutorial!! This project was perfect for all the scrap cords I've been keeping 🙂 Easy, peasy; clear and concise instructions. Thank you so much!!!

[@Nivieee]

Thanks for the tutorial! It was very easy to follow! I used 3mm rope and I had too much cord left, so instead I made a dish coaster! :)

[@RikinikiDIY]

Great job!

So glad to lean this DIY from you. You have mentioned the leanth of cotton rope nicely but wish you will also let us know the how much should be the thickness (mm ) rope we should take. Thanks

[@RikinikiDIY]

Hi, thank you so much. It's 4mm thickness. You can check the detail on the description box. Good luck :)

[@idalestari8900]

Thank you so much. It's very easy to follow.

[@goosemediaproductions]

this was so stressful and frustrating i wasted so much cord and time i am very mad because everyone else’s worked out nice so i’m too stupid to understand this tutorial. no hate to the channel but im writing this for anyone else who failed so they don’t feel as stupid as me right now.

[@brimolina4993]

I failed !! I attempted five times and my yarn would come out so loose . It was annoying!!

[@catedowling3090]

We totally agree. Hearing you sister!!!

[@RikinikiDIY]

Hi, I hope you're doing well, and thank you for sharing 😊 I understand that. It was stressful too for me on the first try. A tip for double half hitch knot: Do not pull both the cord on the left and the right side all together. 5:06 Pull only the cord that is on the left side (the working cord). The cord that is always on the right is only to direct the shape (horizontal, diagonal, round, or other shapes). Or you can take a look at a basic half hitch knot (slower tutorial) if you have difficulty making this round shape. Check this out kzbin.info/www/bejne/jafPhXaXqsdkiJI Good luck 😊

[@RikinikiDIY]

@@brimolina4993 Hi, I'm sorry to hear that. It seemed that you didn't pull every cord tight enough or didn't direct the main cord (the longest cord) close to each other. That is why it came out loose. Don't give up 😊

[@RikinikiDIY]

[@RikinikiDIY]

@@newhumankind Hi, I'm using Single Strand Cotton Cord to make this coaster. You can try to search with the Single Strand Cotton Cord keyword. I hope it helps you :)

[@Rahmaomarismail]

Thank u for a great tutorial❤

[@RikinikiDIY]

You’re welcome 😊

[@seece4]

Hi. Can you share with me how you calculated the length of cord needed? I would like to make some larger coasters for some flower pots. Thank you!

[@RikinikiDIY]

Hi, it's pretty hard to calculate it. My coaster on this video end up with about diameter 13 cm. You can cut longer cord by one or two times from mine, depend on your coaster you want to make. Good luck!

Hi, good luck. You can read the comment below if you have any trouble or something you don't understand with my instructions. There are some people helped me to explain and clarify the steps :)

[@nigelladamascena1096]

U made it look very complicated, i learned how to do it in a 10 second short video

[@RikinikiDIY]

Great. You made it finally :)

[@ambercurtin]

Very easy to follow! I seemed to have so much cord left i didn't want to waste it so I just kept going around haha. Mine ended up being 14cm across without tassels

[@RikinikiDIY]

Great job! Bigger coaster is also good for plates

[@FttyhxJhghjgjhfdsreokkm]

I luv this channel. By any chance would you know how much it cost to make one coaster as I am hoping to start my own macrame business.❤

[@growstronger8]

Is it possible to use 6mm cord? What would the measurements be? 😊 Thank you

[@RobBirch-k4f]

Hi. I have a question. The video is great but its not clear at which stage you use the 80cm & 60cm cords. Once you've used the one 160cm and five 100 cm cords which do you then use. The 80cm or 60 cm? I might be being stupid but I can't tell.

[@RikinikiDIY]

Hi, I'm so sorry to hear that. I think I forgot to mention the length. I use the 80 cm first. After the 80 cm run out, I use the 60 cm to add the next gaps. Hope it will help :)

[@RobBirch-k4f]

@@RikinikiDIY That makes perfect sense now I think about it. Thanks.

[@Aaron84danielle]

how do you keep the last strand from coming loose? Did you tie a knot or does it just not come loose at the end? Thank you for doing this video.

[@RikinikiDIY]

Hi, I tie a knot at the end. You can go to 9:38

[@hetalmeghani7420]

Hey wonderful tutorial....but want to ask....i added.many more cord a in between...more then your instructions...is it fine?

[@RikinikiDIY]

Hi, yes it's totally fine :)

[@gomarai3365]

Hi..i am confused..when u added first, did u add 80 inch or the 60 inch??

[@RikinikiDIY]

First I added the 80 cm or 31 inches cord. When I meet a big gap, I keep adding the 80 cm or 31 inches cords until I run out of those cords. And then when it ran out, I started using the 60 cm 24 inches cords.

[@JanisGagliardi]

When you filled in first time what length cord did you use?

[@amoramorena]

My question exactly

[@RikinikiDIY]

Hi, I use the 100 cm length cord

[@amoramorena]

When you add the extra coeds for the forst time, what lenght are they?

[@RikinikiDIY]

It's 100 cm length cord

[@helenclark4343]

Can you put the strings in inches instead of Cm?

[@helencos8269]

Very nice tutorial!! Thank you so much! I did it already but I add much more threads!!! If I want to make it bigger I have to put longer threads or to do something else?

[@RikinikiDIY]

Hi, I'm glad you made it. Yes, you have to put longer threads if you want to make it bigger. Good luck!

[@reaganschultz702]

Can I do this without the fringe??

[@SarahVloggs]

If it gets dirty how do you wash it, is it just hand wash?

[@justhayley3245]

I’m confused on when you add in the new rope. You had two lengths cut so do I slowly put those all in? Also you were adding a new one doing two stitches added another one and did six stitches then added another one and it skipped to the end so I’m not sure the pattern for adding the extra cords

[@kamiebeck3809]

Yes ….. please clarify

[@kuluin14]

You add an extra cord if there is a gap between your current cord and the next one, so you don't end up with a space in your finished work. There's no set rule about when as it will depend on the tension of the thread on your coaster.

[@angiericouard792]

@@kuluin14 thank you. This is the second one I’ve watched and they neither made this part clear. I wasted so much with the last one that I’m trying to find a clearer one before I try again. This answer helps and I should be able to follow hers.

[@angeldark871]

Hey um i don't know when exactly do i add new ropes, i know you add them whenever you see a gap but i don't really see any in mine? So whenever i add a rope i feel like it complicates the circle?? Please help

[@RikinikiDIY]

Hi, if you don't see a gap in yours then you don't need to add new rope. Just add it when you feel the gap is too far from the next fringe. Good luck :)

[@treamatate]

How long is cm in inches? My tape measure doesn’t have cm clearly marked so I can know how long that is 🙁 other than that I love the tutorial 😊

Why do we cut the short one at the beginning? Why don't we make it longer and incorporate it?

[@RikinikiDIY]

I cut that short one because I didn't use it and it's not possible to incorporate it

Guys I gotta serious question. I am autistic and have ADHD so I need to keep bussy, but since my RA got worse I am having troubles to hold the crochet hook for decent time to do something and yes I have the special RA hooks. Is this any easier on hands, does anyone has experiences, comparisons?

[@christinehebden4012]

I have Carpal Tunnel in both my hands and I have tried to crochet many times but have trouble holding the needles. macrame is much easier I feel. My hands do not cramp up at all. I think this will be good for you. At the least try it and see how it feels, as everyone is different. Good Luck!

bad tutorial too fast and double half hitch knot doesn't make any sense.

[@RikinikiDIY]

Hi! I'm sorry to hear that. The double half hitch knot was frustrating on the first try. A tip for double half hitch knot: Do not pull both the cord on the left and the right side all together. 5:06 Pull only the cord that is on the left side (the working cord). The cord that is always on the right is only to direct the shape (horizontal, diagonal, round, or other shapes). You can take a look at a basic half hitch knot if you have difficulty making this round shape. Check this out kzbin.info/www/bejne/jafPhXaXqsdkiJI And for the fast tutorial. I speed it up only on the repetition steps. I keep a normal speed when I move to the next step. I hope it will help you in some way. Good luck 😊

[@mariasalazar1023]

Iḿ really having trouble with following your tutorial cause you do the knots so fast and dont really explain them. Also, it would be nice to know what strands to add to the spaces. Thank you

Girl you need more pins. It's not secure enough

[@RikinikiDIY]

Definitely, you can use more pins. Doesn't have to be exactly the same as what I use 🥰

[@amoramorena]

Main cord needs to be way bigger....

[@RikinikiDIY]

It depends on how big you want your coaster to be. In this video, the final size is about 14 cm (diameter) with tassels. Without tassels, it's about 11 cm (diameter). Also, the cord length requirements are not always exactly the same. It also depends on the thickness of the rope. Thicker cords take up more space. So you have to add a longer main cord. While the thinner cords, take up less space. So there is a possibility that your main cord will be left a lot or you can even make your coaster way bigger than my coaster's final result. I hope it helps :)
