Here are the steps to make macrame coasters:


Materials needed:

1. 3mm cotton cord (approximately 3-4 yards per coaster)

2. Scissors

3. Ruler

4. Cork mat

5. bobby pin / big eye needle

6. sewing pins


Cord Length:

(this is just an example, and you don't need to cut them all at first, you will need to cut 1 and 2 first.)

1. 160cm / 63 inches x1

2. 100cm / 39.3 inches x4

3. 80 cm/31.5inches x6

4. 60 cm/23.6 inches x2


Instructions:

Step1: Cut 4 pieces of cord, each measuring 100cm / 39.3 inches x4 in length, and cur 1 pieces of cord in 160cm / 63 inches in length.




Step2:Measure one side to be 50 cm, and use lark knot to hang on the 4 pieces of cord and flip to the back.

You can use the sewing pin the hold the cords onto the cork mat.





Step3: Keep making half hitch cord, each cord need to do 2 times.

TIPS: If you started to see gaps between cords, you will need to cut new cords and use reverse lark knot to add on it. That's why we don't recommend you cut add the cord at first.




Step4:Continue this pattern of double knots until the coaster is the desired size. (Note: A typical car coaster is approximately 4-5 inches in diameter.)



Step 5: Use the big eye needle or bobby pin to hide the cord at the back.


Step 6: Trim and brush the car coasters


Done!!!







Your macrame coaster is now complete! Repeat these steps to make additional coasters as desired.
