Macrame Christmas: 24 festive projects using easy knotting techniques
Author: Isabella Strambio
Written by acclaimed macram artist Isabella Strambio, this book offers a unique combination of practical and personal, inviting you to embrace a mindful and meditative experience through knotting. Each knot tied is a chance to slow down and experience the satisfaction of making something beautiful with your hands while nourishing your soul in the process.
Choose from quick 30-minute creations (jewellery, belts, keyrings), those that take less than an hour (coasters, placemats, plant hangers) to more intricate designs that invite a few hours of you-time (wall hangings, baskets). Each one is customizable in colour and size, offering opportunities to decorate your home with meaningful pieces or make thoughtful gifts.
Whether youre dipping your toes into the waters of mindfulness and crafting for the first time or seeking fresh inspiration and support, this beautifully illustrated gift book welcomes you with open arms.
