Macrame Christmas Ornament | Easy Tutorial for Beginners

This macrame project is one I've been having a lot of fun working on lately - I've made so many ornaments I've covered my entire Christmas tree with them! This project is do-able even if you are a complete beginner at macrame, and they also make great Christmas gifts!
The cord I'm using is from a shop on Etsy called RockMountain Co, I used their single strand 3 mm macrame cord.

I purchased my cinnamon sticks from Amazon in bulk since I knew I wanted to make a lot of ornaments, but the same shop offers a smaller bag as well.

This is the board I used to help make the project - it's not technically a necessity but it makes small macrame projects like these SO much easier!

Merry Christmas!

Hello friends! The cord you need to make this project is “3 mm single strand macrame cord.” 4 mm would probably work as well! The cord I used in this video is linked in the description box! If you make this ornament I'd love to see it - tag me on instagram @madebyhandbyallison

Never thought I would see the day where Macrame would make a come back!! I did it in highschool in the 80's and now my daughter does it.

[@staceykersting705]

'80's! Wow. I did it in high school in the late '60's, too! Guess it never really goes out. I love it!

[@madebyhandbyallison]

That is so cool! I’m so glad it did make a comeback, it’s so fun!! 🤗

[@1966DAG]

....yes, we.made a necklace and bracelet in middle school...!

[@ruzannahayrapetian9751]

When i was 10years old i learning macrame... And that work very very nice... Very interesting

[@judyr9447]

Did it in the late 70s

[@sailorgirl2017]

Anyone else immediately mesmerized from the beginning of this peaceful, gentle video?

[@mayarenhult5631]

using cinnamon sticks for this project is such a sweet idea. thank you for sharing. ✨

[@rosiemcnaughton9933]

Have been doing macrame off and on for about 35 yrs. I'm currently in an "on" phase. 😊 I've done many different crafts, but macrame can create such beautiful things in a very short time. 😁

[@candiwelsh5524]

So cute. Thank you for the SLOW how to instructions. They are so helpful for old ladies like me😉 GOD bless you my dear👍❤️

[@terifreeman6169]

Thank you for such clear instructions and making it look possible for someone that has never tried macrame. Looks like a great project that could be completed in a short time! I think I see a new hobby in my future!

[@Denuliena]

I love the idea of using a cinnamon stick! Thank you 😘

[@lindabeebe7065]

These would be cute also combined in a seed covered pinecone and dried orange garland for the birds. Or just in a garland without seeds inside! They’re so cute!

[@reneebanbury7066]

I used to love macrame. I would spend hours on projects & loved it. Thank you for a beautiful video!

[@jenniferpoole8370]

I've never made anything using macrame but just started watching your videos... now I think I might need to do this!! Ornaments! brilliant way to start!

[@madebyhandbyallison]

😊❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@patternandcraft3908]

Very cute! You could incorporate the hanging string into the design too instead of cutting off. Great idea with the cinnamon stick!

[@jewelelaine6866]

I did macrame In the 1970’s & 80’s. Think I’ll always love it. 😊 This is beautiful hanging on the tree. 💕

[@madebyhandbyallison]

That’s awesome!! I think I will always love it too!! 🤗❤️

[@ticker1963]

Thank you for making this video on such an adorable and do able macrame ornament. My sister was always a macrame crafter. Now I feel with your instructional video I have been bit and can not wait to try this. These might just be not just my ornaments but a small, tag gift on presents to friends.

[@madebyhandbyallison]

That’s awesome, I’m so glad to hear that - have fun crafting!!! 🤗❤️❤️❤️

[@dalainebloom4505]

I loved this one. Thank You, Sooo Much.

[@Autumn74]

This is just fab! You can also thread pieces of dried oranges or other fragrant fruit and it can be used as a sweet smelling mobile to hang by windows and doorways.

I have a bunch of little pieces of driftwood, so I might do it on them and add on a few seashells for more of a North Carolina beach theme!

[@madebyhandbyallison]

That’s a great idea!! 💡

[@jessicamahar9908]

That’s a great idea if you don’t have a macrame board to hold your work secure while you do it! Thread it through and tape it to the table :)

[@sparklingcreations-shriyam6577]

Hi! I loved your video, The ornament is soo beautiful ! ❤️ but I had some doubts regarding this.. Is it possible we could use any normal wool yarn for making this ornament or do we have to use a macrame cord only?
