Back in the late 70’s/early 80’s, I used to love doing macrame, and honestly don’t know why I gave it up, but recently became interested again, and stumbled across your videos. May I first say, thank you for making these, they are great and you should definitely make more! Second, you have the prettiest eyes, and such a lovely, bubbly personality, I don’t know why anyone wouldn’t want to watch your tutorials. Keep up the good work, and thank you for your time and efforts!

[@adreamclellan6924]

I just came across her videos today and totally agree with your comment. Luv her bubbly personality...Thank you Chelsea

[@fof3904]

Happy u return back✌️

[@onlytruth7690]

I don't think I have ever left a comment on here. I am a disabled Marine that spends the majority of my time alone. I am into pretty much everything - anything that will keep my mind busy. Then I came across you, or I think proper is your channel? This is some amazing stuff. You teach well, which is odd because you speak so fast, but demonstrate perfectly. I also found that is I go into settings on your video that I can slow you way down. Your energy is great and it compliments your animate communication. I have already started tying. I just wanted to say thanks. I see this video is rather old and I hope you still check it.

[@mariegjackson3865]

Thanks Chelsea, it's all coming back to me. Liked your video and the funny remarks! Great job!

[@littlem33mz]

This is the BEST tutorial. You are great at explaining. You are GORGEOUS. You are FUN!!!!! God bless and THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH for keeping it real! Awesome awesome.

[@cindybrown120]

I'm just going to say I love you! Thank you so very much Chelsea for making this video!! I came across you tonight and was thrilled! I Did macrame back in the 70s and I guess the teenage years just took me away from it I don't know. But recently I've been interested in doing a wall hanging but I want to incorporate beads as well. Anyway, girl thank you for the amazing refresher course. You are an incredible teacher, with a great sounding voice And are so adorable, and your personality is tops! Don't stop being you! I look so forward to watching more of your videos and seeing your projects 🙏❤🙂

[@sabahatasyfahmed4869]

Thank you so much... I really leanerd a lot... you were slow n clear so I got the hang of making these knots. Thank you so much once again.

[@esthersmith9182]

Thank you for your instruction about macramé knots it was very helpful and your step by step directions, I’ll have to watch again and practice the knots, I now have knowledge to make some things I want to make but couldn’t because some videos go to fast and I get lost on all the knots used. Omg I love craft projects and I have added a new craft skill to start doing thanks to you! I’m so glad I found your tutorial ❤ thank you!😍

[@siepbooij4816]

I kind of started of very frantically, multiple macrame projects at the time. Thanks to this video i have a better understanding of different knots. Now I will sit down and take my time with this craft

[@crazyauntcc9491]

Thanks so much! Glad to have found your channel easier being taught by a fellow G.R.I.T.S! Now I’m a lot older than you (turned the big 40 this year) but when I was young we didn’t have iPhones & stuff to occupy our time while not in front of our TVs which even then had to sit thru commercials so we made each other friendship bracelets fro: colored thread this reminds me of that except on a larger scale with way bigger thread! Thanks so much girl many other instructors would either skip k Er basics or were too fast talking to understand them you the perfect speed for me to get it. Awesome keep on teaching I’m loving learning & a new sub!

[@Nina-mr9mu]

I like this young lady, her enthusiasm and her personality are great and she is easy to follow.

[@OriginsofMe]

I appreciate how you taught this. Thoughtful and throughly enjoyable.

[@eternalreece]

I love how you demonstrate how you do macrame

[@LanceBear]

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! so far you have the only video that was able to teach me how to tie these basic knots! Im brand new at this and i already feel like im able to learn by watching your videoes!

[@sherrimartin1543]

Yes I would love to learn Macrame from you. Your so patient, silly and so sweet. Great Teacher attributes.❤☺

[@aliciarius3629]

Yes, me too! Finally somebody who does a tutorial, step by step, in a slow way! Thanks Chelsea.

[@jafallica]

Slow? Lol

[@diannespink2168]

Hi Chelsea I am a senior from Canada who is returning to this craft. So I just want tl say your training is one of the best out there. For me being a senior your talking is kind of fast for me but still good lessons. Thank you!@

[@jasonlyons7329]

Now if all my teachers in the high school where is interesting beautiful talented and charismatic as you are I think I would have been a straight a student not to mention that beautiful Southern accent really makes you hang on every word I can't thank you enough stay safe and and god bless ✌️🇦🇺

[@tan1854]

I just started doing this and your video is very helpful. Thank you very much because I didn’t wanna cry but now I don’t.

[@anndesantiago858]

This is so cool you make it fun and simple! This was fun to and nice to see someone so bubbly and happy.

[@mind_body_mom_coach]

Rat rope? Ooooh right! You're not from California. Thank you! Fun and helpful video! Love your eyes and make-up!

[@deborahwood9503]

Thank you so much for actually talking and explaining!! Lol New to macrame, and you're the first instructor I've found that does! I've been doing paracord for a while, so it kinda looks similar!

[@Carleeene]

Thank you for your time !!!!! Thank you for teaching all of us 💚🪴

[@kadiryusof2348]

i think i love this girl. she's funny, giving concise explanations, i love this kind of tutorial when the tutor have a very beautiful pair of piercing platinum colored, hazel shape eyes, with great make-up and eye lashes very nicely mascara-ed.

[@thegirlatthefrontdesk3519]

Very helpful. I want to teach my homeschooled kids as part of their handy crafts.

[@gonefishing8586]

I love you Chelsea! You are my new fav macrame wiz kid on KZbin. I have never had any luck learning this stupid knot until I saw your video. I had all but give up on it. THANK YOU SO MUCH! :) :) I look forward to watching all your other videos! I see now that this video was made in 2017! (All those wasted years!) Thanks again!

[@EmilyAlimonos]

You're the only one who's actually been able to teach me a double half hitch know! Thank you!

[@rosariatyre]

You taught me how do this in 10 minutes and I've been trying to learn this for years. Thank you so much.

[@beckyql8126]

This makes me happy to hear, because I'm just going to start my first project, and I'm so glad Chelsea's saved me years of frustration that would surely have made me quit! 🙂

[@roxanns9149]

Same here! Just started one, thanks Chelsea 👍🏾🌻

[@ashmonroe1791]

Me too. Such a great teacher lol

[@borealliving5859]

This gives me so much hope!!! Ive always loved knitting and crochet but cant because it ruined my wrists, macrame might be my new passion!

[@sunfish4]

this is a really good video showing basic knots. I used to do macrame in the 70"s, I am an old hippie LOL and of course it went out of fashion so I stopped creating. Now my granddaughter has asked me to make her a purse and I just needed a little refresher course. Your video did the trick. Thanks!

[@elizabethgalloway3955]

Awww you’re so cute! I really enjoyed your video and I’ll be watching more. I wanted to learn a nice relaxing hobby and tried knitting. Ha! I had to quit before I pierced my own eyes out of frustration. Maybe artfully jerking knots in ropes is a little more my style, and your bright, silly attitude is very engaging. Thank you!❤️

[@claragowin2604]

Ive Macrame 30 yrs ago. Forgotten a lot. Your sooo cute! You have showed and explained it so easy! Thank you so much sweetie. We need more of your tutorials please !! 😊

[@yeoldeboy]

I have arrived at researching “how-to” videos with macrame. And I am so glad I landed immediately on yours. I am JUST embarking on the thought of seriously pursing this. All I need is plant hanger! -lol- - with like three “ropes”(?) coming down from it. I am a total novice; not even funny. Seriously. 😆 But I was a Boy Scout, and I’m an artist; so I think I’ve got this? ... I dunno. But your video immediately put me at ease about the whole thing. (On to more research) ... I got this. I got this - I just know it! 😆

[@SusanBullockUberGrams]

Love your bubbly personality

[@GypsyFeet316]

It's like friendship bracelets on steroids lol....I can do this 😎 Thank you.....Montana 🐾🐾

[@christinagadbury2326]

I just want to THANK YOU for these videos! You made me so happy, I cried! I was taught macrame as a little girl by a lovely lady, Mary, who was like a grandma. I LOVED IT! Then it fell out of fashion & I couldn't find any materials to make things with. I had forgotten how to do this when it came back in fashion. I was in high school & now I'm 50. You are an Angel! You not only reached me, you brought back so many beautiful memories! Bless you! I've subscribed to your channel & will be following forever! Peace & Love lovely Lady!❤

[@sharlenegilliana3938]

I've been looking at videos for macrame..nobody explains the knots like you did. Thank you

[@queenlucimay]

Wonderful job explaining basic knots to someone like me who has never done macrame. I’m looking forward to trying it.

[@michellelove6681]

So glad you are here to help us

[@susanzimmermanfabricrep7617]

You are adorable. It's as much fun listening to your turn of phrase as it is learning macrame.

[@AshleyMarieMommy]

You are funny and you are a good teacher. Some people suck at teaching so thank you!!

[@tinamckinney2328]

Thank you so much!!!❤❤ love your personality. You're so fun to watch.

[@tguthrie1121]

Thank you for teaching me the basics to try for practice this first time!

[@luanahaigood278]

You eyeliner is spot on. Thank you for video. Adorable personality 😊

[@TamarynLJohnson]

Oh my gosh, you are such a stunning Southern Belle! I love your accent, I love your vibe and thanks to your simple and beautiful videos I can now do macrame just like my mama used to when I was little. She tried to teach me but let's just say she wasn't a natural born teacher lol. Thank you so much Chelsea! Big hugs 😘😘

[@Stitchin_is_the_Besst]

I thought the same exact thing 😊😊 She’s a bundle of FUN! I know your comment is FOUR years old, but I JUST now found her channel & your comment echoes mine 😁😁

[@thomasoppenlnder3934]

You do explain this so well. Thank you wery much. Someone bless you too.

[@VERONICALIGONCRAVIN]

I'm from California and very very rarely do I like southern or country accents but yours.....omg! Its toooooo cute! I love it, love your bubblyness that's not goofy and I LOVE how articulate you are with your directions and instructions! You're a VERY GOOD instructor! Thank you for the refresher course!

[@dawnmainwaring7797]

Yes please more videos like this. Tutorial’s!!!! Yes

[@craftychickkyle]

Brand new to Macramé. This is my first video to it. Very detailed. Thanks for making this.

[@jan9764]

Chelsea i love your energy what you bringing to your videos 🙏🙏♥️♥️🦄🦄

[@allienunnally7949]

I went through so many videos and was so confused before I found yours. You actually went slow enough and explained it. Plus your personality really shines through and that makes the videos even better! I will definitely be watching more of your videos!

[@Dianah1952]

First of all I agree with the other commenters about your great personality. You are a lot of fun while teaching us these knots. And I am happy to say, I got it! While watching your video I finally learned the square knot! Thank you so much for taking your time to show us these cool knots. I did macrame back in the 70's but I forgot everything. So it's like learning all over again. Hugs!

[@viviennebarnes1387]

Thankyou so much for your video. You make it easy and clear in your instructions. I'm about to go and buy the rope to get started. Can't wait! Thanks again.

[@Stitchin_is_the_Besst]

Wow. You are the cutest THANG! I love your energy & how comfortable you are on camera. I hope to get that comfortable eventually. I WILL be back to your channel to learn more 👏🏻👏🏻 Great Job, hon 🥰😊

[@kbowersful]

You continue to inspire me and you make this beautiful art humorous!!!

[@brandycewonderland1497]

[@kimjinkens8831]

I like your energy. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I did this as a kid in the 70's so I need that refresher and to learn some new knots. I love how you take off without a pattern or even a plan in one video. That is my kind of crafting🙂

[@dlc5166]

Hi Chelsea - you're a GREAT teacher - I'll be practicing the four knots you've taught us to tie - thank you!

[@veragailfaircloth117]

I use to macrame back in the early 70's I even macrame some beautiful curtains !!! There's so much you can do get creative and have fun 🙆

[@annegreen2394]

Young lady, thank you so much for your clear presentation of these basic knots. I haven't done macrame since the 70's and wanted to try my hand at it again. Since then, more patterns and knots have been created so this should be fun. Thanks again.

[@nellebelle30]

Well, you're just precious! Thank you!

[@lindashaw8802]

Your video is excellent! You are so cute and refreshing (and funny), and your explanation of the knots makes it look simple and doable! Thank you! I used to do macrame back in the 70's and needed a refresher as it seems to be popular again. I hope you make more videos.
