Macramé on jars and bottles
#v16813
Reuse wine bottles and preserving jars and upcycle them with beautiful macramé. Remove all labels from the bottles before making a ring at the top to which you attach the other cords. The instructions are the same whether you use large or small bottles or jars. Simply adjust the top ring, length and number of cords you use. You can also create long-lasting lavender flowers to decorate the finished bottles and jars.

2 Make a loop (magic ring) with 120 cm of cord and then wrap the nine 45 cm cords around the loop with a lark’s head knot. Gather the cords in pairs so that the 9th cord forms a pair with the ends of the magic ring.
5 Knot the pattern using four cords – 2 x 2 from each side. Tie a square knot around the two middle cords with the two outer cords. Make the knot around 2.5 cm from the top edge, depending on the size of the jar.
11 Remove all labels from a recycled bottle. Cut 120 cm of cord for the magic ring and cut nine 60 cm cords to attach to the ring using a lark’s head knot.
Knotted Lavender Flower Make the flower on a thick steel floral wire that is 50 cm long. Cut 3.5 m of macramé cord.
