Estimating cord length - for a macramé project is difficult, but a good way to start is
with individual cords that are seven to eight times the length of the finished piece. As a
beginner, add a little extra to your estimate because there are many factors that determine
how much cord is needed. If a design is predominantly vertical, less cord will be required
than for a design with many horizontal areas. If a design has lots of knots, it will take
more cord than a design with areas of floating cords (cords without knots). Tightly tied
knots require more cord than loosely tied knots.
Estimating the number of cords – It is important when making a belt or wall hanging.
To do this, you must first decide how wide the piece is and lay strands side by side until
they equal one inch. Multiply the number in one inch by the number of inches in the
piece to get the total number of cords needed. For example, if a 15-inch-wide wall
hanging requires four cords to the inch, you will need sixty cords.
Measuring and Cutting - Measure and cut long cords can be done efficiently by
measuring one length with a ruler or yardstick, cutting it, and using that length to
measure all subsequent cords. If you have many cords to cut, attach two C-clamps to the
edge of a table, tie the end of the card to one C-clamp, wrap the cord around the other,
and bring it back to the first. You can also measure cords using the backs of two chairs,
winding the cord around two doorknobs, or between the handles of kitchen cabinets. A
weaver's warping board is handy to use if one is available.
Anchoring Cords - Macramé knots must be tied with the cords held under tension. There
are several alternatives for anchoring the cords, such as slipping a dowel between kitchen
cabinets or slatted chairs, weighting down a chair with books, and tying one end to a door
knob or dresser drawer handle. If the cords are attached to a dowel, it can be slipped
between the handles of two kitchen cabinets or slatted chairs, or put the dowel behind a
ladder-hack or slatted chair. Articles that are long and narrow can be kept under tension
by tying one end to a door knob or dresser drawer handle.
E. Application
(The Teacher will divide the class into 4 groups, each group would pick 1 of the four
steps in setting up the macramé cords and will perform it to the class.)
IV. Generalization
(The teacher will ask the student what have they learned about the topic.)
