Many impressive things can be knotted with the macramé technique, including these decorative picture frames. The picture frames were made with different knots and put pictures of the last trip or of your loved ones absolutely in the limelight.

With our instructions and practical step photos of the individual knots, you too can make a macramé picture frame.

First of all, you need 8 x 1 m long macramé yarn cuttings for each picture frame, as well as a round stick. You can also use our template with the different macramé knots and the corresponding step pictures. You can find more knots in our macramé basic instructions. 

Macramé knot for the white picture frame

Row 1: Lark's head knot backwards
The eight threads are attached to the round rod using the lark's head knot.



Row 2: Horizontal rib knot
For the horizontal rib knot you need an extra piece of the macramé yarn. This is the so-called guide and is placed horizontally on the already attached ribbons.



Row 3-5: Cross knot



For beautiful knotting patterns you can use the staggered square knot.

Row 6: Horizontal rib knot

Between the 6th and 7th row the photo will be placed later. Leave enough space between the two rows so that the photo fits in between.

Row 7: Horizontal rib knot

Row 8: Wrap knot

Shorten the ends of the threads as desired and tie a knot in the bottom of each thread.
