Remove the twine from the top of the baubles and paint them in your favorite colours or leave them white. I used old egg holders to hold the baubles.
Cut 14 1m lengths of macramé string.
Take one string and make a circle shape.
Take the next set of 4 strings and make 5 consecutive square knots.
Continue until you have used all the strings.
Leave a gap of 1 or 2cm and tie two alternative square knots.
Repeat all around.
