With Macramé you can make a great place mat from simple natural Yarn . It's fun to tie the knots and the selfmade doily harmonizes with the interior decoration.
Preparation
First prepare your work area: Use an old cardboard box measuring at least 50 x 50 cm as a work surface.
The Macramé-place mat was made with Warp yarn . First cut 22 Warp yarn threads of 1.5 m each. Tie a small ring from the first thread. Fold each thread in half and tie it to the ring at this height as loops

Many threads form the initial ring
If you now spread out all the threads radially on your work surface, you will have 44 threads. In each case 4 threads are linked to weaver knots. Make each skein about 2 cm long.
Tying & knotting fun even for the inexperienced
In the next step, 2 threads per skein are processed into normal knots with 2 threads of the neighbouring skein. Soon you have created the first round of the grid pattern. Also in the following rounds, 2 threads of one strand are always knotted with 2 threads of the adjacent strand.
Extra tip: Individualize this craft idea by continuing to work with weaver knots as shown in the step photo. This will create completely new patterns and thus placemats!
Finally, cut off the thread ends - the placemat is ready.
Present self-made things on the table set!
With only little effort you can conjure up a contemporary decoration from simple storage jars in a short time. Simply fill the glasses with Decorative sand or gravel, insert artificial succulents, wrap a small Jute ribbon-loop around each glass - the decorative glasses are real eye-catchers, also ideal as gifts!
