Hi! I am a creator Ium weaving various props with macrame. I make various macrame accessories for everyday use with a variety of materials and knotting methods. For those who were having the will to make macrame accessories and bags by looking at those on social media, I would like to recommend you all your classmates to take my class. I made this class with all of my know-how and my heart, so if you'd like to focus on macrame for just an hour per day, that's enough! By following my class, you will be able to forget all your worries and stresses, and also get a gorgeous bag! :)
How is it different from your first class?
Different from the first class, I'm also going to make faux leather line bags and lace drawstring bags with a new starting method and finishing method. In addition, for a perfect output, I've prepared thoroughly to make the inside part of the bag to be neat too.
For making oval-shaped bags, tons of my tips are included on how to add lines and new techniques.
I'll also be making macrame interior accessories, such as magazine racks and hanging planters which will add a lovely touch to your living space. The most important thing about knots is to hold the center line and adjust the strength, and learning these will gradually develop your knotting skills. It is the best class to not only learn the basics of knots but also get complete, lovely work.
You can even apply more advanced techniques you've learned!
Using the finalizing skill to make oval bags, I'll also show you how to make a top part for the classic peanut bag. Your skills will grow dramatically while working on various types of bags.
Apply the starting method of a faux leather line bag for a good grip round handle, I'll teach you additional skills every time we make a different type of bag!
You can try making a lace drawstring bag by adjusting the size or adding the number of rows. If you purchase the deluxe kit, you can start making it right away without having to buy additional materials.
I'll also try to make a bag strap accessory that fits each bag. I'm also going to make a strap key ring using a string or a leather strap.
Step by step at your own pace!
I am going to explain all about macrame step by step from the basics with all the know-hows I've gained through numerous offline and online classes. Learn anywhere, anytime you want with me and it will never be hard to learn all procedures. Try making your handmade bag that you won't be able to find anywhere else in the world!
Macrame props,
Why are my knots not pretty as others?
It's too hard to follow along since I cannot see all the details in the class video.
I still have three more steps but the string is not long enough :(
I've got a lot of questions like the ones above during the first class. A very small difference changes the degree of perfection of the work. I'll show you how you can hold the strings while making the basic knot. The more elastic the thread, the more the length of the string varies. In this class, I'll give you detailed tips and know-how that are hard to learn anywhere else. Even if you change the knotting habit, I'm sure that you can create better work!
I have no idea how to adjust my strength
whenever cutting the strings
While working on macrame, it feels like half of the steps are finished if we ever cut the strings properly. Sometimes you might have cut the strings too short or too long. If you ever had an experience struggling with the string lengths length, not anymore! In this class, we will try to cut the various types of threads. We will be dealing with those problems together, and we will carefully learn how much tension you should wind with the thread.
If you purchase a deluxe kit
You can create 3 more works!
We have prepared a deluxe kit so that you can buy additional threads and accessories at once. Use the techniques you've learned in class to create more works!
[Bonus 1]
Big lace bag
Peanut bag
Round handle bag

Use the techniques you've learned to create a different kind of bag of your own. I've detailed the process and tips for making each bag.

You'll be able to learn how to make a bonus magazine rack with a pattern with oblique stitching. I'll tell you in detail how to apply the skill and where you should pay attention when working on the pattern.

ium macrame
Hello, I'm Jeongsook Park, currently running my own ium macrame workshop. I have an ambient willingness to design all the accessories and bags with macrame for daily use. In this class, we'll make bags and accessories using only a few basic knotting methods that are not difficult at all. I have prepared this class, especially for those who are new to macrame to slowly follow along. Macrame is a charming craft that you can't find a way out of if you get interested in it. People who are new to macrame often say, “It's been a long time since I can focus on crafting without thinking about any stresses.” Make an hour a day, a precious time to focus on yourself.
