❔ What is Macramé?

Macramé is a craft that uses a multitude of knotting techniques to create a wide range of decorative and functional objects. The origins of macramé date back to the 13th century, when Arabic people used knots to secure the loose ends of woven textiles into decorative finishes. However, some resources even say that macrame origins can be traced further back to the Assyrian and Babylonian civilizations. Nowadays, macramé can be used to make many things such as plant hangers, drinks coasters, decorative wall hangings, handbags and much more!
