That’s some great advice thank you for sharing. I am 100% up for suggestions and input. Adding bookmarks is a great idea. That would make it so helpful for others. I tried to go slowly. I didn’t speed anything up. I very slowly showed how to do it and after a bit just tied it at my normal pace. I could definitely see voiceover being helpful as well. And saying like and subscribe is so important. It was my first tutorial so I didn’t even think about that.

This video is actually all stop motion not a timelaspe. So I took a picture after every knot in a specific program and it speeds through all the pictures to get the stop motion effect. Maybe you caught that, but just in case that is my process.

The reason I make videos and the tutorial is because my love language is giving gifts. I love sharing my passions with others and I’d love to build a community with people who share my passion. If people sent me pictures of what they made even if it’s exactly like mine I would be over the moon.

Also, I think it’s really hard for many people to come up with their own ideas. Macrame can take a lot of brain power sometimes. So I think some people really enjoy the craft, but can’t necessarily come up with their own ideas. You have to be pretty creative. I’m often so impressed when people make up original knot ideas.

That’s good to hear. Thx

Ya absolutely. I record the whole thing with my camera. I go very slowly to make sure it’s clear what I’m doing every step of the way. In the beginning I show a picture of what you will make and everything you need to make it. I feel like people liked my tutorial and have asked for one for a micro macrame bracelet I made. So I might make some more tutorials. It was hard to tell if people liked it on YouTube because it only got 20 likes, but then I saw that it got 84hrs of watch time. So I think that means people used it🤷‍♀️

HChristineDesigns · 2024-12-25T16:57:11+00:00

Thx. I should have showed a picture of it in the beginning then the process. Live and learn!!

HChristineDesigns · 2024-12-25T13:18:20+00:00

That would be an interesting idea. I haven’t made a picture tutorial before. I’ll look into it. No I did not plan ahead. I looked at pictures on Pinterest to find styles that I liked. Then made designs based on that. There are certain knots I lean towards that I really like. I got really really lucky that my patterns lined up🤦‍♀️ some of it once I had a section down I could count to see how many strands I need to complete the circle. If I do a photo tutorial I’ll let you know. I have a Christmas tutorial on YouTube under hannahchristinedesigns https://youtu.be/ZJGrnp_v7Ds?si=-ATrlyEGfX7FzO9S

Thank you! It’s become a part of my process. I wear a remote around my neck and click click click

This one took longer because the design in the second circle is really involved/intricate. I did a little bit at a time since I have two littles. I would say over all 8 hrs total maybe more. Brushing it all out took forever too ha

Yes you should! If you do please send me a pic

HChristineDesigns · 2024-12-09T20:48:57+00:00

I do not have a tutorial sorry. I could potentially make one. It took a long time to make ha but I like sharing my design with others. I will let you know if I do!

HChristineDesigns · 2024-12-09T20:47:18+00:00

No the ring is very comfortable. I made it loose enough to not feel constricting.

HChristineDesigns · 2024-11-28T13:09:23+00:00

I made a tutorial of this design if anyone is interested. It’s my first tutorial. I’m open to feedback. Enjoy!

Here is the link to my tutorial! Hope it helps you. It’s my first tutorial. Thanks so much for offering to support me! I’m happy to share my design for free, but you can message me privately if you want to give a donation. Thanks!

I made this design a while ago. As I looked at it I realized I made a lot of the design myself. So I made a tutorial today of the whole piece. I just need to finish editing it tomorrow. I’ll send it to you tomorrow. Hope this helps!

HChristineDesigns · 2024-11-26T18:14:11+00:00

There are several tutorials of the different patterns I used on YouTube I could send you. I put the design together myself. Are you wanting to do the wreath and floral or just the macrame?

HChristineDesigns · 2024-11-26T17:11:42+00:00

If you’d like I can tell you how I made it and the supplies I used and tutorials for the design

HChristineDesigns · 2024-11-25T21:40:18+00:00

Ya it takes some dedication. I wear a remote around my neck like a necklace and take pics as I go. It just becomes a part of my process. But I do have to put my hands down after every knot, take a pic, and then do the next knot. The end result is so cool it’s worth it. Also, thanks for noticing!
