Join Melissa, founder of Hiraya Crystal and Chord for a relaxing and creative hands-on workshop where you'll learn the art of macrame to craft your very own stylish, reusable tote bag!
This eco-friendly market bag is not only a chic accessory, but also a sustainable alternative to single-use plastic bags.
No prior macrame or crafting experience is needed; this class is perfect for complete beginners and those looking to refresh their skills. Melissa will guide you through all the necessary techniques.
In this 3-hour workshop, you will:
• Learn the essentials of macrame materials, including how to select the right cord and prepare your project.
• Master basic macrame knots, including the Lark's Head Knot and the Square Knot, which form the foundation of most macrame projects.
• Work with alternating square knots to create the flexible, net-like body of your bag, ensuring it can stretch to hold all your groceries.
• Learn a wrapping technique to create sturdy and comfortable handles.
• Leave with a finished macrame grocery bag and the confidence to design and create more pieces on your own!
