For this festive macramé I used a cinnamon stick to hold my cord. I looped the cord around the stick and secured it with long pins on a board.

Step 2 and close up of how to loop your cord.

For this creation, I used 6 strands of a 3mm long cotton cord which was 24 inches in length

Basic square knot technique: bend cord A cross it over the filler cords and then under cord B

Pass cord B behind the filler cords and bring it out to the front

Repeat this process

Square knots

In this step, I'm repeating the square knot technique

With the first strand loop over the second for a half stitch knot

Repeat the half stitch knot until you reach the middle cords

If you'd like you can add small wooden beads to complement your macramé

Once you secure your bead, cut the strands to the desired length, use a comb to loosen the strand creating a fringe

The loosened strands are easy to separate with the use of a fine-toothed comb

Enjoy your mini festive macramé!
