Guided course: Create unique bags with macramé
A guided course by AMARENA , Textile artist
Learn to create unique bags with macrame techniques, from design to the final finishes, step by step
Discover the art of creating unique bags through the macramé technique. This course will take you step-by-step through the fascinating process of transforming threads into a personal and functional accessory. Begin by gathering inspiration and creating a mood board to guide your design. Learn to define proportions, choose materials, and shape your idea with detailed sketches and technical sheets. Each step will bring you closer to a bag that reflects your personal style.
Immerse yourself in the construction of the bag's body through knotting techniques, perfecting patterns and edges to achieve a flawless finish. Finally, attach the handles and complete the finishing touches that will give it that professional touch. With each knot and choice, you'll learn to communicate with the fibers, creating a piece that is not only an expression of your creativity but also a testament to your patience and dedication. When you're done, you'll have a macramé bag ready to wear, with a polished finish you can proudly show off.
