Vase decorated with macramé bows
Here's how to easily dress up a large glass canning jar using macramé knots.
Ideal for holding a large bouquet of holly, very heavy...
Weaving start
Tie a simple piece of macramé cord (3mm diameter) around the top of the jar, leaving a margin to easily place the knots that follow.
Cut lengths of rope much longer than the height of the jar to be covered, as knots require a lot of rope...
Place these strands on the rope attached to the jar with lark's head knots (see photo), two by two, spaced about 4 cm apart (this will become the measurement of the diagonal of the net's diamonds).
Place these strands on the rope attached to the jar with lark's head knots (see photo), two by two, spaced about 4 cm apart (this will become the measurement of the diagonal of the net's diamonds).
Combine 2 pairs of adjacent (and spaced-apart) strands and join them in an overhand knot, thus linking all the strands together.
In staggered rows, link the overhand knots so as to create the diamonds of the net.
At the bottom of the jar, tie overhand knots all the way to the bottom of the jar. Pass a strand through the knots, tighten to stick to the glass and tie a double knot.
Pass the ropes flush with the overhand knots. To secure the ends of the strings, brush them with quick-setting glue.
Your decorative vase is ready for large bouquets!
