I must admit, I’m not the most strategic or methodic of crafters. However, when it comes to my macrame wall hanging projects, the first thing I think about is the size of it. This is usually determined by the size of the stick or dowel that I have in my collection of wood.
•
I buy the dowel from my locally owned DIY shop and I also collect some on the occasional walks in the local forests. Sometimes I paint the dowel and I tend to give the natural sticks a good old clean with soapy water then sand them to get rid of any sharp bits.

Once I’ve chosen my stick I then decide the length of the piece according to the size of the stick. It has to be a length and width that will suit the length. Getting the proportions right can make all the difference to the final piece.

As a crafter, you never stop learning new methods, everyone has a different way of doing something. The starting points are sometimes the most exciting!
