These easy Macrame coasters will be a beautiful addition to your home, no matter what style your home is decorated in. They are simple yet stylish!
They can be used for many different things not just your tea or coffee cups! Use them for keeping your candles, vases, plants, etc.
You can customize the size just by using longer cords. So the size is up to you and what you need it for.
They are really easy to do as the entire piece is just square knots. Even though it is simple, it does take a while to do. It took me about an hour or so to make one. But the end result is so worth it! Don’t you think? 😊
You can make this even if you are a beginner. If you do not know Macrame, it is a very easy craft/hobby to learn. If you are interested in picking up a new hobby, do read this post – 10 Fun Hobbies to do at Home

HOW DO YOU MAKE THESE EASY MACRAME COASTERS?
I followed this step by step tutorial from here:isabellastrambio.com
Please visit her website to get a step-by-step tutorial for this Macrame Coaster.
The things that I did differently were:
I used 3 mm cotton cords not string.
In her coaster, she did 11 rows, but in mine, I made 13 rows of square knots.
As I said earlier, you can customize the size of the coaster to your needs.
Notes:
You can leave the fringes short or long. I cut the cords first and then brush them out, and then trim them again.
Spray some water on the ends of the cords, and that makes it easier to cut your fringes.
Use a good pet brush or macrame brush for your projects.
I used packaging tape instead of painter’s tape on both ends of the holding cord.
If you try it out, let me know how it turns out, I love hearing from you.
