WHAT YOU NEED
MATERIALS
TOOLS
Let’s get started
STEP 1
Take the macrame rope and cut out 36 pieces of 30cm each (18 for each slipper)
Note that the exact number of strings depends on the size of your slippers. Could be less or more than 18.
Now attach them with simple Lark’s Head Knots to an other string (cut it a 10cm wider than your slipper width).
STEP 2
Now that you have all the strings in line you can make a horizontal line of double half hitch knots.
This macrame knot takes one leading rope for each row you make.
Once you have made these knots along the whole length of the thread you can start with the second row.
Now take the first outer rope as leading rope. Make knots like before, going to the opposite end.
STEP 3
Repeat till you have few rows of double half hitch knots (4 in our case).
It’s time to make the fringes!
For the upper fringes you will have to cut each Lark’s head Knot.
Now comb the strings to make them thinner and form the fringes.
STEP 4
Last step is easy, but requires attention.
Sew your macrame creation to the slipper and be sure its well secured.
Repeat the whole process for the other one!
