Hey guys, I made a macramé leaf
to add to the flower I made in my previous video.
It could also be used as a flower petal
and here’s what I did.
I cut 6 cords at 36”.
Fold one of the cords in half
and tape it down.
Place the center of another cord,
under the left side of the first cord,
and hold it in place.
Create a number 4,
with the left cord over the right cord.
Then, pull the end through the loop created.
Do this twice,
creating a double half hitch knot
that goes toward the right direction.
Place the right end of that same cord
under the right side of the first cord.
Then, make a double half hitch knot
that goes toward the left direction.
Make a backwards 4,
with the right cord over the holding cord,
and pull the end through the loop created.
Do this twice,
creating a double half hitch knot
that goes toward the left.
Repeat this with the rest of the cords.
I moved the cords to the center of the first cord
and taped it down.
With the 2 cords in the center,
make a double half hitch knot.
It doesn’t matter if it’s the left or right direction,
as long as it’s consistent.
Use the left cord as your holding cord.
Bring it over the cord to the right of it,
and make a double half hitch knot
that goes toward the right.
Continue doing this until you reach the center.
Next, use the right cord as your holding cord.
Bring it over the cord to the left of it,
and make a double half hitch knot
that goes toward the left.
Continue doing this until you reach the center.
Then, make a double half hitch knot.
I made 6 rows on each side.
Starting from the left, I made a double half hitch knot
that goes toward the right.
I gathered the cords that I used,
and used that as the holding cord
for my next double half hitch knot.
I continued this until I reached the center.
I repeated this with the other side.
When I reached the center, I made a square knot.
To do this, make a number 4
with the left cord over the middle cords
and under the right.
Then, pull the right cord through the loop created.
Then, do the opposite.
Make a backwards 4 with the right cord
over the middle cords and under the left.
Then, pull the left cord through the loop created
and your macramé leaf is done.
