DIY: MACRAME PURSE TUTORIAL | EASY MACRAME BAG | MACRAME MARKET BAG

Hello friends, I am so happy to share this new tutorial with you! In creating this pattern, I made several in all different shapes and sizes, but this one felt like a great universal size that can be used for many occasions. I hope you enjoy the video and get creative with it.

If you are new to macrame or need extra help with Square knots and/or Alternating Square Knots, please watch this slow, step by step tutorial on the basic knots before you begin:

**PLEASE NOTE: The cord length measurements are quite long to allow for some wiggle room as I know many of you will want longer handles, and I personally had a great deal of difficulty tying the very bottom Square Knots to close the bag with shorter cords when experimenting with lengths in creating this pattern. That being said, if you know for sure you knots are very tight, close together, and are comfortable with a short handle, you can get away with cutting about 3/4 to 1 foot less per cord. For myself, I always like to cut some extra cord when attempting a pattern for the first time, as there are many variances in cord sizes from one company to the next, knot tension and more.


HERE IS A LINK TO THE CORD I USED:
