Making Macrame Wall Hangings

We were lucky enough to have Chloe's nana come and teach us how to make Macrame Wall Hangings today as part of our art showcase for our Cultural Evening.
These were so fun to do - once you got the idea of how to do the knots.  It took a lot of concentration and perseverance to create our master pieces, and the students were very proud of their final pieces!  Some got very creative!
Thank you so much Maureen, we really appreciate your time and sharing your expertise, and also supplying us with the materials!!  💗
