DIY Round Macramé Coasters | Boho Room Decor | Curly Made

🤔🚨 Written description for those confused with the cords 🚨🤔
- Cut 5 small cords with 90 cm each and another big one with 230 cm.
- Grab one of the smaller cords and fold it in half.
- Get another small one, fold it in half as well. Use it to make a lark’s knot, make sure to leave a small loop at the edge of the first cord, so you can pull the cord through it later.
- Repeat the same knot with the other 3 smaller cords left.
- Lastly, add the longer 230 cm cord along with the shorter ones, it's the 5th knot that goes onto the first one before grabbing the ends of it and pulling them through the loop.
FAQ.:
"Do you do a special knot to tie it off at the end?"
- I added a drop of glue on the last knot to hold it in place.
"Do you decrease the length of the new cords you add?"
- Yes, you can do that, as you go on, they don't need to be as long.
"How many filler cords did you use?"
- I'm sorry but I forgot to keep track.
How to make round macramé coasters/trivets made out of cotton cord. These have a boho decor feel that is super trendy right now.
Make them for your mugs, plants or pots.
▶Supplies:
- 3 mm cotton cord
- Something to hold the cords, either tape, or as I used, a cork coaster or board.
- Pins to hold if you use cork
- Fabric Scissors
- Ruler or measuring tape
- Comb

thank you so much, let me know the result :D

[@dawnm1392]

So... I kept track of my calculations while I did this tutorial. (And subtracted all the extras that I cut off). In case anyone wants a more detailed estimate. --- 1 x Long cord - 140cm (I did the technique at 3:05 where she folded one side shorter - same as the rest of the strands - and then used the long end, which is why my long cord is much shorter than her suggested length of 230cm) 5 x Starting 'small' cords - 90cm 5 x filler cords - 90cm 5 x filler cords - 80cm 5 x filler cords - 70cm 5 x filler cords - 60cm 5 x filler cords - 50cm I used a total of 25 strands to fill. You use the long filler cords first, and shorten them as you go. --- My coaster ended up being 9-10cm across (the braided part) plus a 4cm fringe. The lengths above will ensure you have space to trim. Hope that's helpful! --- Thank you @Curly Made for the tutorial!

[@CurlyMade]

Thank you, I was so focused on making the video that I forgot to keep track of measurements. This will help out so many makers ❤️

[@melissagorogo1008]

I'd like to make a larger ones of this, say 30cm wide or even metre wide as a floor mat. I have 6mm cords to use. I guess it's all the same technique...I'm thinking I have to multiply x 3 for a 30cm mat

[@idawnsm]

@@melissagorogo1008 I'd advise also to make your Long Cord extra long (just in case! so you have space to keep going if necessary), especially since the thickness of the cord is different. And be careful about the tension of your cord as you knot (I tried to make a larger one and it kept curling into itself).

[@melissagorogo1008]

@@idawnsm hey thank you for that. Am a newbie so any help is so much appreciated. I started a mini size last night and need to re-do. My brain and knots!!!

Hello , thank you for this beautiful and well explained tutorial. These coaster are such an inspiration, i really love to make those.

When you fold the small cords in half is the length 90 cm then ? Or 90 cm cut in a straight line and when folded in half it's less then 90 cm?

[@heimylilianagonzalezplata2559]

son 5 cables de 90cm , pro hablas de añadir mas, entonces cada cuanto se añaden cables de 90 cm? y cuantos son en total?

[@03mspretty]

Did my first macrame coaster today (my first macrame proj actually) but it was a bit wavy. I'm not sure if its bcos i tightened it too much or should've i added more cords?

[@tingliasmr]

I heard that using a cat brush is great for combing out the threads at the end and also that white is the easiest colour to deal with regarding stains as you can just bleach them out.P.S I'm writing a blog post up about macrame and I've featured your coasters and video and added your info i.e website and youtube links. :)

[@CurlyMade]

Hey, thank you so much for the feature and also the tips, my dog has a brush that I guess its similar to that cat brush so I will try try it out.

[@helenai13]

I use an animal metal brush with very fine bristles and combs fringes wonderfully

[@Christy8134]

Thanks so much for sharing this tut! Just a few tips tho. 1. You had way too much wasted cord, so use less next time. 2. Cut your fringe as close as you can before combing, this way you’ll have less to unravel. 3. Before the combing process take your fringe and vigorously slap in against something solid, for this size piece I like to use my thigh. I discovered this little trick by accident, but it works miracles by separating the twisted rope a good bit before having to comb 👏🏽 3. Yes, they stain very easily! I even dyed my cord dark green bf I made another coaster, in a diff design, and spots are still very obvious. I’m thinking maybe treating them with starch may help, but... 🤷🏼‍♀️ Again thanks for sharing 😘

[@CurlyMade]

Your tips are so good, thank you so much ❤️

[@private15]

Curly Made scotch gard spray is for water proofing rugs and cloth furniture, prevents stains. Try that.

[@rhondapickup5714]

I'm confused as to when to attached longer piece? Good tutorial thank you.

[@Christy8134]

Rhonda Pickup once you start you’ll see that there will be a gap, and even if you try to keep moving along you will need to fill it.

[@freeangie11]

Camera backwards😅 good idea with circle cork👏

[@rabiyakhatoon6765]

Nice...

[@CurlyMade]

Thanks 😉

[@joettabrasko7578]

Fabric protector would be good on it and I think washing it would be okay hand washing it and letting it dry

[@CurlyMade]

Thank you

[@styxonfire3246]

TIP : place a plate or bowl on top to trim around the excess cords.

[@CurlyMade]

Great idea ;D

[@hanankadadohamatto6156]

Wow

[@CurlyMade]

Thanks 😉

[@jazzmoos5382]

I wonder if a water repellent spray, like what you’d use on shoes would help to keep them clean. But I don’t know if they’d be okay against heated pots. Or, just soak them in vinegar and baking soda when they get dirty.

[@CurlyMade]

Yeah, the cord is cotton so I guess they're also easy to wash

[@amyphillipscowell5086]

love this! cannot wait to try it! I would love to make matching placemats too, how long would you recommend cutting the cord? :)

[@CurlyMade]

Thank you so much. Sorry I don't really have a good estimate

[@zeynepkurtulus4744]

muhteşem... ama kolay bir şey değil ..

[@abbifrassetto9914]

When you add more string do you keep them the same length of 90 cm?

[@CurlyMade]

I did on the first ones, but as I got closer and closer to the end I stopped caring so much about the length and eyeballed it shorter.

[@choserene3253]

Fantastic idea and clearer explained. Thanks very much. I may try with jute cord in order not to dirty it? ❤

[@CurlyMade]

that seems like a great idea, let me know how they turn out

[@jac90xxx]

Hi, super nice coasters. Can you Tell me how much rope you need round about in total?

[@CurlyMade]

Sorry, I can't I was cutting as I went

[@kristelloo]

I am trying to make big ones so i cam put on a wall do you think it aould look good?

[@CurlyMade]

That seems amazing. Depending on the stiffness of the cord, after you finish make sure the ends stay upright, maybe use fabric stiffener ou even hairspray. Let me know the result

[@styxonfire3246]

Use cloths special glue like the did with doilies in the old day.

[@CurlyMade]

Hey. Nice video! I have a problem though, whenever I go further I reach a point where the following knot is really far away from the main cord. Should I add more cords or what would you recommend?

[@a.becker7503]

I am having the same problem! Help!

[@CurlyMade]

I don't remember if I came across the same problem, I don't think so, but maybe try adding a new filler cord in between each of the main ones, see if that is enough, if not maybe test with two filler cords, but I would not add more than that

[@vedarajuaparna]

hey can you mention lengths of all cords....i couldn,t understand...plz mention in your description box...thank u

Cut 5 cords with 90 cm each and another one with about 2,30 meters, then keep filling with more 90 cm cords.

Hey thank you for the great video! Just a question: if i want to finish the work without the fringes should i Just cut the rope in excess? Thank you!

I'm so sorry but I actually dont know, I haven't tried it that way, but cutting the rope doesn't really seem like the best solution, won't they become undone?

[@94arance]

@@CurlyMade that's what i thought! I'll think about something else ahah

[@shaymarie7045]

@@94arance How about brushing some Fray Check around the edge before you cut off the excess fringe, do this on the top and bottom of your coaster edge where you want to cut. That will help to keep it from unraveling and it dries clear.

[@cami2288]

Hi! I tried to do it but got lost. Idk why but from the middle it started to grow vertically and not to the sides how it is supposed. Maybe its because i am using a much thiner rope that i had before. Any suggestion?

[@CurlyMade]

You might be tightening the cords too much, or not adding enough filler cords. Try that and see if it helps, you can also iron the piece one in a while to keep it flat.

[@karennamartinez2906]

How long does 1 take to make?

[@karenarev]

Thanks so much! Only mine comes up like a bowl...any remedy for that?
