Are you tired of wasting macrame cord, or worse, running out mid project?

Don't worry, in this tutorial, I'll show you how to ACCURATELY estimate the length of your macrame cords for all of your projects!

It doesn't matter if you're making a wall hanging, a plant hanger, or any other type of macrame patterns, if you're designing your own pattern you're going to have to estimate the macrame cord lengths before you get started.

I'm sure you've heard that you can just multiply by 8 for the knotted portion of your wall hanging, and that method does work to an extent.

But if you want to get more specific and accurate, the method I show you in this video will get you there!
