Things you’ll need:
Metal rings
Macrame cord
Scissors
Wooden beads

Things to do:
1. Cut two five-foot pieces of macrame cord.


2. Next, you’re going to start the knotting process. Lay your cords under the center of your hoop and make a loop shape at the top. Pull the end of your cords up through the center of the metal hoop and through your macrame loop.

3. Repeat this step, creating knots all around the circumference of the metal hoop.

5. Add wooden beads to your excess cord and knot the macrame to hold them in place.
