The art of macramé has been around for centuries, and it’s a great hobby for anyone to try.

With the right approach, you can turn knots into patterns and stunning creations that are as beautiful as they are functional.

Over at NORA Best Life, we’ve created a list of three common beginner projects you can try. You’ll learn how to make a decorative item for the season, the key to a useful item anyone can benefit from, and a creation that can hang out in your home or outside.
