Always at hand

Whether cleverly knotted or decorative wrapped - with wool threads and yarn can make beautiful things, such as this drink holder.

You need that for the cup holder:

  • Zpagetti wool in 2 colors (department store about 14 €)
  • beverage bottle
  • wood Beads
  • scissors

And that's how easy it is:

1. Tie a ribbon tightly around the opening of the beverage bottle and knot it.

2. Now cut six equal lengths, about three times as long as the bottle, and double.

3. Attach the bands evenly to the band around the neck of the bottle with a loop.

4. Now knot four ribbons as follows:

The two outer bands are the working bands that hang down the two middle bands.

The outer bands are knotted around the inner ones. Start with the right band:

Place the right band over the two middle bands to the left, then under the left band.

Place the left band under the two middle bands to the right.

Pull the left strap from the back to the front through the loop of the right strap. Now the tape is knotted.

Tighten the knot carefully. This node is the base node.

Repeat this process three times per strand of 4 bands. Knot all 3 strands in this way.

When all the threads are knotted, the second row follows knots. For the net pattern take 2 threads from the first strand and 2 threads from the following. Knot this again four times as described above.

Depending on the length of the bottle, make row by row in this way.

Put all the ribbons together at the bottom and tie them together with a ribbon.

Now you can add pearls or individual knots.

For the handle:

Cut two long ribbons, each approx. 2.5 m long. Double tap ribbons and fasten them side by side on the strap at the bottle opening with a loop.

Now use the macrame knot described above until the handle is long enough. Automatically the cord twists.

Connect the ends to a double knot.
