Macraweave: Combine Macramé with Weaving Techniques

Larissa Meléndez begins the course by sharing her story of how she got started in macramé and talking through her career path, from budding designer to selling her artwork across Mexico and the world. She also shows you the influences that spark her creativity.

Before you dive into your final project, get to know the tools you need and learn the basic macramé knots. Combine these knots to create a sample design that acts as the warp, and then see how to incorporate weaving patterns into it.

Put together a mood board, sketch out the idea for your wall hanging, and select the materials to bring your design to life. Knot together the base of your piece using macramé and weave in other materials to add color and texture.

To tie it all together, Larissa shows you some alternative uses for your newly learned techniques to keep you inspired and motivate you to further explore your creativity. She also shares some useful tips on how to properly care for your creations so they stay looking new for years to come.
