Investing in macrame tools and building up your own macrame workstation and supplies is a great way of getting your projects finished quicker and allowing you to be more creative.
Tools
1. Trimming threads and fringes is a key part of completing a macrame project. Invest in some high-quality, sharp scissors to have on hand.
2. Fringe combs are a great tool for fluffing out threads on your finished piece. You can also invest in stiffener spray if you prefer your threads to have a more robust feel.
3. A rotary cutter paired with a cutting mat is an excellent investment to ensure quick and precise cord cutting.
4. Crochet hooks are a great addition when crafting smaller pieces like macrame jewellery. They help you to pull the thread through the smallest of loops.
5. Precision tweezers are good for unravelling mistakes or knots or making changes to your project. Their precise point means that you do not risk your cord becoming frayed or damaged.
