Macrame Light Shopping Guide. (5 Macrame DIY, plus 18 To Buy)…
What do you think of the macrame craze? You down? I have to say I’m still not overly enthused about the wall tapestries or plant hangers. The plant hangers mostly because I kill all plants.

But one thing I’m REALLY loving is great macrame light. A woven chandelier or a covered cord can be such a fun design element. It’s attention-grabbing with all the pattern, but not over the top because of the modest, neutral color.
If you’re more apt to try a DIY macrame light project, here are a couple great posts and tutorials about that very thing!
