My quest to find the BEST Macrame Feather Stiffener 🪶(and what you should AVOID)
I tested 5 different macrame stiffeners to find WHICH ONE REIGNS SUPREME! And you won't believe which one it was. (Or maybe you will, but either way, come watch the video.)
When you're making macrame feathers (or leaves), one super important step if you want them to look good is you gotta add something to make them stiff.
Otherwise, your leaf (or feather) will end up being a hot mess.
In today's completely scientific endeavor, beginners and beyond will find out how to stiffen macrame feathers, fringe, earrings, and what ever other macrame items you want to stiffen.
Here are the 5 contenders of today's quest:
💥 Aleene's Stiffen Quick
💥 Hairspray
💥 Fabric Starch Ironing Spray Stuff
💥 Cornstarch and Water Goo
💥 Watered Down Elmer's Glue
You won't believe which one wins. Let the battle begin!

    Hi, where can I buy the white beard? What's the name of that material? Thanks!

  • @dianeschillinger8461

    Love, Love punch needle. But, there are so few projects to make that are useful... I used to do pretty punch back in the day, and did a sweatshirt once. But besides wall hangings, and not soft pillows, i find little of use when you have a houseful of stuff... is there a list somewhere of what items that could be made with punch needle? if not, we need one. thats why its such a lost art i believe. actually, i just saw a wooden rabbit shape frame with a hole in the center that is punched with a face on soft padded fabric. so cute. it would be so neat as a pumpkin frame decor.. but i have no idea how to do that...

  • @bonniehaisten1537
    @bonniehaisten1537 Před 3 dny

    What you need to do with that vine that has a long section without leaves, is to cut it back totally at around 8-10 inches from the pot, water well and new leaves will appear. Use the end with the leaves to root new plants in water.

    Hi Crystal...thanks for your awesome videos! I was wondering if you have a finished length for this hanger. Also, on another video you were working on a white board. What kind of board is it and how do you fasten your work down? It must be quite sturdy to handle the tugging! Thanks for your help.

  • @susansimmons3740

    Great job! This is a very helpful video and explained well. It's a little too big for a bridal bouquet, which I might be doing for my son's wedding among table runners and chair covers. I'm sure I'll find a smaller pattern.

    Hello?

  • @01antsinmypants
    @01antsinmypants Před 11 dny

    The only place you zoom out enough to see the whole project is the beginning & it's too far away to tell how many switch knots.

  • @01antsinmypants
    @01antsinmypants Před 11 dny

    I'm so confused! Are there 4 switch knots or 5? Zoomed in too much to see.

  • @01antsinmypants
    @01antsinmypants Před 11 dny

    At the beginning of the switch knots you said 1 1/2 to 2 inch spacing. I chose 2 inch spacing. Then AFTER you say we'll stick with 1 1/2 inch spacing. So that means I will probably run out of cord :(
