Make a Macrame Valance from Manila Rope
Macrame curtains are so easy to make, and can be nautical, boho, hippie, retro or give a beach cottage vibe, depending on the cord or rope you use.
You can follow along with me and make your own, or just chill out watching the pattern form and listen to the beautiful music. I added chapters to make it easier to navigate.
Here are the DIY directions to make this cool valance or curtain with a thick, chunky manila rope.
The materals I used are;
16 - 25 foot lenghts of 3/8 inch manila rope
1 oar
I also used some cotton whipping cord to make the tassels
Attach you rope with larks head knots to the oar.
Make alternating square knots until it is the length you want, them reduce each side to make a point.
Half hitch down each side of the point.
Cut all the ends, leaving 2 at the points, which you can whip together to make tassesl.
