So I got both, thinking I will save on shipping and have more for another project 🙂 Nursery bedding and Natural Ganxxt cord Vs. I’m so happy with the Premium Soft Ganxxet Cotton Cord I chose! It really is beautiful and worked so well! The right tools make all the difference when taking on a new craft! I had a hard time deciding between the Natural Color, which I feel is more “bohemian style” and the White cord. I wanted the cord to be soft, easy to work with and last! So I turned to the internet and youtube and found a very talented lady who suggested Ganxxet Cord. It was really stiff and I just couldn’t tell if it would be worth the money! They had some rope in the hardware isle but it was pretty awful looking and I would have had to buy a lot of packages and since it was not the right material would of probably turned out pretty poor. I heard you could find rope at Walmart and since that is just about the only store near me I went to check it out. and a lot of it! The craft stores near me do not carry anything worthwhile for macrame. The first thing I needed was Macrame cord. Otherwise you could end up spending money on items, that you don’t necessarily need! Something I am guilty of at times!

Even if your final piece doesn’t turn out exactly as planned, it’s good to have an idea of a starting point.

It’s important to lay out an idea of what you want to make before you start shopping for supplies. With the images I came across as inspiration, it was time to sketch my design! Here is what I came up with! Macrame Dream-catcher sketch idea My niece also loves the “bohemian style” & I wanted to tie it all together with a Macreme dream-catcher! Of course I started my search for inspiration on Pinterest and came across a few pieces I loved!Īfter hours spent researching, I came to the realization that I was going to have to learn how to Macrame~ something I have never really done before )! I love the dream-catcher tradition and even more, hand made gifts. Once I found out my niece was pregnant and saw the theme she chose for her nursery I wanted to make this macrame dream-catcher for her new addition.
