Steps for making the wreath:

Follow these steps to make your wreath.

1. measure your macrame cord

Cut a bunch of equally sized strings.

Rather than cutting a bunch of pieces individually, I looped 1 metre sections around my fingers and cut a bunch at once.

The photo on the left shows both ends of my macrame cord after I looped it around my fingers.

2. cut to length

Cut the loops at each end.

The result will be a bunch of 1 metre long pieces of macrame cord.

3. Break out sections of 3

From your large pile of strings, break away three strings.

Fold them in half.

4. Tie a larks head knot

Step 1/4: After you have folded your string in half, put the string under the metal ring.

5. Tie a larks head knot

Step 2/4: Take the end of your string and feed it underneath the loop.

6. tie a larks head knot

Step 3/4: Pull the end of the string towards you

7. tie a larks head knot

Step 4/4: Pull the string and tighten.

Technically we did a backwards larks head knot…

You will have to turn your wreath over to see the knot OR during Step 1/4 you can put the string overtop the metal ring rather than under.

8. REPEAT LARKS HEAD KNOT

Repeat larks head knots across the diameter of your metal loop.

9. trim ends

Cut the ends of your macrame cord with a pair of sharp scissors.

10. Trim ends

I decided to trim mine in a V-shape.

I eye-balled mine but if you wanted a perfect V you can count the number of larks head knots to find your center point.

Cut at whatever angle you like!

11. Add natural elements

Gardening wire can be used to attach your natural element to the metal hoop.

You could also use hot glue. The advantage to using gardening wire is that you can remove the natural element after Christmas and keep the it up year long.
