Macrame mandala mirror
These pretty mirrors are perfect for popping in a handbag or using as an accessory on a dressing table. They can be made to look like everything from flowers to stars and are easy to personalise to suit individual colour preferences.
Coasters
Everyone from grandparents to aunties and uncles will appreciate handmade coasters, which are as pretty as they are practical. Choose colours and designs to complement interiors or look for patterns that reflect your loved one’s personality or interests. Coasters are an ideal choice if you are just starting out with macrame and have never made anything or have previously used a macrame kit.
Plant hanger
Plant hangers are a staple for fans of macrame and are a versatile gift that you can give to almost any member of the family; for example, children can use them to hold their very first attempt at growing a plant, or parents can use them as a herb pot in the kitchen. The best plants for macrame hangers include ferns, ivy, and spider plants.
Phone bag
Most people have a mobile phone these days, so a macrame phone bag can offer perfect protection for these much-loved devices.
