Helpful Tip:
What rope do you use for macrame rainbows?
The inside of the rainbows (the white fringe you see sticking out the bottoms) is 8mm braided macrame rope. It easily pulls apart into three separate cord sections. The colourful macrame cord, that gets wrapped around the rainbow base, is 2mm cotton macrame cord. You can also wrap embroidery floss or yarn to create the rainbow.
Do you need wire for macrame rainbows?
Some people put thin wire inside the macrame rope to help the rainbows keep their shape, but this isn’t necessary. The arches keep their shape well without wire, and you can make them as narrow or as wide as you’d like!
What can I do with my macrame rainbow?
Use the macrame rainbow as a wall hanging, or string a bunch of them together to create a garland! Or you can hang them on a baby mobile in colours matching the nursery. If you make a smaller macrame rainbow, with a thinner inside cord, they make adorable keychains! Simply attach a jump ring and keychain to the top arch instead of the hanger.
What size macrame rainbow does this make?
Our macrame rainbows are about 5 inches across and 4-1/2 inches tall (including fringe).
We love how cute and friendly this macrame rainbow looks! The wrapping on these rainbows takes a bit of time, but it’s super easy and relaxing to do while you’re watching TV or chatting with a friend.
