How to Create a Macrame Christmas Wreath

Cut the following:

2 sets of 6 x 1.3 meters strings(central two flags)

2 sets of 6 x 1 meter strings

2 sets of 6 x 90 cm strings

3 sets of 8 x 40cm strings (tassels)

Place 6 x 1.3m strings in the centre of the large ring using the Lark's Head Knot.

Tie a row of 3 Square Knots.

Next tie a row of 2 Square Knots and a final row of a single Square Knot.

Take the first string, use it as a guide and tia a diagonal line of Double Half Hitch Knots with string no 2 to 6.

Repeat on the opposite side and close the two diagonal lines with a Double Half Hitch Knot.

Take the next set of 6 x 1.3m strings and repeat steps 2-5.

Slide the two flags you have made in the middle of wreath. Next take one set of 6 x 1m strings and tie it on the right of the central flags and one set on the left.

Repeat steps 2-5 with both sets of strings.

Finally tie one set of 6 x 90 cm strings on the right and one on the left of the flags.

Repeat steps 2-5 with both sets of strings.

Working with the strings from the central 2 flags, continue the diagonal line on the left and the one on the right till they meet in the middle to create a diamond of Double Half Hitch.

Repeat Step 11 on the left and right to create two more diamonds of Double Half Hitch.

Using the paper wrap from the Rewist String as a template, trim the fringes of the flags or 5-6cm in length.

Brush the fringe.

Take 8 x 40cm strings, fold them in half and place them over the 4 strings in the middle of the central diamond of Double Half Hitch.

Take the string's ends on the right, pass them under strings 3 & 4 and through the middle.

Take the string's ends on the left, pass them under strings 1 & 2 and through the middle and pull gently to create a tassel.

Repeat steps 15-17 for the other two diamonds of double half hitch to create two more tassels.

Place greenery on the smaller ring, half pointing towards the left and the other left towards the right, fix it with a piece of string by making a double knot.

Next, wrap the string around the greenery in the middle and the double knot around 10-12 times and then make a one or two double half hitch knots to close it.

Take the berries and glue them in the middle over the string.
