Helpful Tips:
Do I have to use 2mm macrame cord for my macrame heart coaster?
No, you can also use thicker cords to make your macrame hearts. If you use a thicker cord, you may not need to add the extra cords on the sides of the heart. You may also have to adjust the pattern, because thicker cord will make a bigger coaster. You can even use the bigger coaster as a mat for a teapot or serving dish!
What else can I do with this macrame heart pattern?
You don’t have to use these macrame hearts as coasters — you can use them in lots of other ways, too! Leave the dowel in to create a heart wall hanging – but be sure to start at the top of the heart and work in reverse order! You can also create 2 braids from the top of the heart, tie them together, and hang your macrame heart coaster from a doorknob or on the wall. You can even arrange macrame hearts in a shadow box for a piece of wall art. When hanging these macrame coasters vertically, you may want to stiffen the fringe to help it keep its shape. You can use Aileen’s Stiffen-Quick fabric stiffening spray, or use spray starch or even hairspray to give the fringe some stiffness.
Where can I buy macrame cord?
Many craft stores, such as Michaels, sell a small amount of macrame cord, but not in every size and colour. There are also a lot of macrame specialty shops and websites.
