Introducing Ignite’s Macrame Kit! Macrame is a form of textile that uses knots as opposed to weaving or knitting. While there are hundreds of different macrame knots, just learning a few of the basics will open many possibilities of what can be made.

6 Common Macrame Knots
We have put together a small book to include in the kit. This book demonstrates how to tie some of the most common macrame knots. If you’d like to check it out in advance or would like to make your own copy of the guide, you can download it HERE.
What you can make
To get started, we have included a template in the kit on how to make a keychain. This small project is a great starting point. It provides a low-pressure project to practice consistency when tying knots. Using just a few different knotting techniques, you can make many different things. For example, you could attach the cord to the wooden dowel to make a wall hanging or attach it to a wooden ring and make a plant hanger. There are many free online resources if you prefer to follow templates.
We’re excited to see what you all make with this new kit. Share what you make on the Ignite Community Discussion Board. Happy Making!
