Macrame Strap

Macrame looks like it takes years, but this session starts at the very beginning: the Lark's Head Knot for hooking your work onto a keyring or handle, the Square Knot for building the pattern, and how to keep tension even so the knots come out symmetrical. Along the way you will get a feel for the different cords and what each one is good for, work out how much cord a strap actually needs based on how you plan to use it, and pick your own colour combinations to make the piece yours. Common problems get covered too — including how to undo a mistake cleanly and how to trim and secure the cord ends so the finished strap holds.

The workshop runs from Sun 22 Sep 2024 through to Sat 30 Jan 2027 at Hougang Street 52 in the north-east, with the listed session starting at 2.30pm, at S$22.05 a person. What you walk away with is decided by you: knotted up as a wristlet, or sized and finished as a water bottle holder, with colour choices made along the way.
