Inspired by the traditional macramé techniques of Weldon’s Practical Macramé and a souvenir from the Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco, this project is a chance to enjoy favorite yarns in a new way.

  • Tassel maker or 3" square of cardboard
  • Tapestry needle
  • Sewing needle
  • Size 6° seed beads
  • Strong sewing thread to match beads
  • Large safety pin or kilt pin
