Pom poms (optional)
Hot glue gun

Macrame Rainbow Instructions:

Step 1:

Decide the number of layers and size for the macramé rainbow. Prepare pieces of rope strands according to the determined numbers and sizes for each layer.

Step 2:

Grab a fall color yarn bundle and tie the yarn around any one of the rope strands, 1 inch from its open end. Tie 2 tight knots.

Step 3:

Start to wrap the tied yarn around the rope strand. Try to keep the wrapping as even and adjacent as possible.

Step 4:

Wrap the yarn all the way to the other side of the rope but making sure to keep an inch of the rope intact on the open end. Keep a few inches of the yarn extra even after wrapping is done and cut off yarn from the bundle. Insert a tapestry needle through the open end of the wrapped yarn strand.

Step 5:

Draw the needle between 4 or more yarn wrapping. Pull the needle all the way through and then cut off extra yarn. The yarn wrapping is now secured.

Step 6:

Select a different colored yarn and prepare it with a tapestry needle. Draw the yarn through the wrapping again, from any one of the open sides.

Step 7:

Wrap the yarn around the previously wrapped yarn but this time; make sure to keep big gaps between each gap.

Step 8:

After reaching the other side of the rope, wrap towards the opposite direction by overlapping the previous wrapping (from step 7). Tie a knot or 2 once the wrapping is complete.
