    💙💙💙 FAQ 💙💙💙
    All the cords I cut were about 136 inches long (11 feet) or (3.75 yards) but I really encourage you to figure out your own lengths based on your desired curtain measurements.
    The formula I use is I take the measurement of what I want the final project length to be. Then double the “working cords” length
    You want the overall working cords to be twice as long as your desired length. When I say “working cords” that means the length of each cords after you tie the larks head (because it’s doubled over)
    So I wanted my curtain to be 34” long 68” is where I want the cords to hang from the larks head knot. So then my cut would be 136” to accommodate folding it over.
    Also I used 3.35 single strand cotton cord from RopeShop.ca (I’m not affiliated at this point in time just love their rope)

    Late to the party and have just found this video. I would like to create these for my bedroom windows. I'd like to stop knotting at the bottom of the diamonds, skipping the mason jars. I am not certain how long that is from top knot to the diamond bottom to do my math on cord. I will probably add a couple inch "shag" under the diamonds.

      @@SimplyInspiredbySheena It totally makes sense. I've mostly been making macrame hangers from Paracord as I've just been learning and had it on hand. It's crazy how quickly the knots eat up the slack though.

      Yes the knots completely use up all the length. I feel so guilty cutting the cords so long sometimes because of how expensive my rope is 😬 ....but I try my best to use up the waste by making feathers out of them or use it as fringe on another project.

    I really like this. I have already figured out how. I would just like a little help with the lengths on the rope. I understand there will be sizing differences. I would just like an idea of how long your ropes were. I am new to the figuring it out and am getting tired of the waste. If you could just give me an idea so my figures may be a little less wasteful. Thankyou

    I've been wanting to start some macrame, and I'm about to make some pods. However, is there a way to make a continuation pod hanger? Say, if I wanted it to hang vertically for cuttings? I don't even know where to begin, but I have a bunch of those Oui yogurt jars I'd love to put up for propagation, vertically. I can't do drapes cuz my place has those awful vertical blinds. :/

      I apologize for the unclear instructions. I’m still fairly new to CZcams. While filming I only intended this to be a quick time lapsed video but due to the simple pattern I figured I could voice over with a bit of instructions.
