Please note: the cord lengths in the description will prevent wasted cord. The video says 400cm but you can use 400cm only on the outer 8 cords for the pattern and 350cm for the centre to save some cord. I hope that makes sense :)

Návod v češtině děkuji ❤

[@macramewithlilly]

@@annahaltufova152 Vezměte prosím na vědomí: délky šňůr v popisu zabrání plýtvání šňůrou. Video říká 400 cm, ale můžete použít 400 cm pouze na vnějších 8 šňůr pro vzor a 350 cm pro střed, abyste ušetřili šňůru. Doufám, že to dává smysl :)

[@lisawyer6036]

Love this. Defo going to give it a go. Could you show a picture of your workspace set up please. I am a newbie and finding working flat difficult. Thanks in advance ❤

[@macramewithlilly]

Thanks Lisa :) Yes working flat is really hard on your back! I use an easel and you can see this in my video studio.kzbin.info1daVd9vZnxA/edit The good ones can be quite expensive so keep an eye out for specials. I got mine from Aldi ... it was originally I think about $130 AU and they discounted it a couple of times and I got it for $29.95 ... best bargain ever! The reason you need to get a good one is that they are heavy, so wont fall over, they are adjustable and have caster wheels. If you get a cheap one you will probably regret it and end up getting a good one later. I hope that helps :)

How much macrame cord do you need to make this and what length do you cut the cords?

[@macramewithlilly]

The cord lengths are in the description

[@stefaniamastropietro7491]

Ciao posso fare una domanda? Io sto usando corde da 3mm quante ne devo aggiungere? Perché mi viene piccola . Grazie

[@macramewithlilly]

Ciao, questo l'ho fatto con un cordoncino da 3 mm e ho aggiunto 4 cordoncini (devono essere 4 o 8) e ho fatto 2 o 4 file extra di nodi quadrati alternati prima di iniziare il modello. Spero che aiuti :)

[@daxavora2095]

In which order all the 20 cord have to insert in 180 cm cord?

[@macramewithlilly]

4 x 400cm then 12 x 350cm then 4 x 400cm. The 400cm cords are on the outside for the pattern. Thanks for the question :)

[@roshirun]

Hi. Thank you for the tutorial. However can you please clarify if it is 450 cms or 400cms. Description says 350 and caption says 400.

[@macramewithlilly]

Hi, apologies for the confusion. I originally said 400cm .. and can't change the caption on the video ... someone complained that there is too much wasted cord so I amended it to 350cm in the description. I will pin a post to try to make it clearer for viewers. Thanks for the comment :)

[@flaviaporpiglia9168]

Can you please tell me how much mètres the whole bag needs?

[@macramewithlilly]

It's about 92 meters all together so a 100 meter or 109 yard roll will be enough :)

[@flaviaporpiglia9168]

@@macramewithlilly thank you so much 😊 I’m gonna make it now …. Beautiful bags

[@kusumatal4227]

I made this bag, and it turned out beautifully. However, in spite of increasing the length of the bag and also adding to the front flap design, there was a lot of cord wasted in the end as small cuttings. Cord lengths need to be much smaller than defined...

[@macramewithlilly]

Thanks for the comment. I will make another one and revise the cord length accordingly

[@kusumatal4227]

Thankyou. I'm sure it will help other beginners😊

[@roshirun]

Hi. So how much should be the deduction from the original length?

[@tanvijoshi9056]

Length of the final strap plz

[@macramewithlilly]

The length of mine is 120cm or 1 1/3 yards but you should do it to suit you. I suggest measuring you favourite handbag strap length and go by that. Thanks for watching :)

[@flaviaporpiglia9168]

I meant how much cord in meters ? Thank you 🙏

[@mialtimaserena]

May I know the size of the yarn? This is so pretty 🥰😍😍

[@macramewithlilly]

Thank you so much! The cord is 4mm and all the lengths are in the description :)

My bag is not enough stiff to be be straight at the top.

Did you use 4mm cotton cord? If so, your tension may be too loose

[@GetAbsoluteInfo]

Thank you so much for the tutorial mam. How to choose the right macrame for different projects mam like twisted or single thread etc. New subscriber from India❤

[@macramewithlilly]

Hi there, thanks for the comment. I personally like to use single thread for anything I want to fray and comb like tassels and twisted for more structured projects. Single thread will often be softer but not always. I prefer 100% cotton. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching :)
