for those of you who made one and it became curved or bowl like this happened to me as well. try making looser knots. I also restarted and used a thin piece of cardboard and pinned it down to the cardboard to make sure my coaster stayed flat. hope this helps :)
This happened to me as well. Once done, you can also wet the coaster, place it between two flat and heavy items (like a textbook), let it sit for about an hour, and this should flatten it out. Just put foil or some sort of plastic between the macrame and the textbook so that the book doesn't get wet.
Perfect tutorial! Easy to follow, clear instructions. I am an intermediate/advanced knotter, it took me about 25 minutes to finish one of these coasters :)
Great tutorial! I made 3 coasters last night. First one was... a total mess. But the second two came out pretty much perfect! I learnt that you need to push the loop of the knot tight up against the previous one so it's perpendicular to the holding cord. Super easy once you get the hang of it.
This is my first time trying to make a macrame coaster and am excited. The tutorial is extremely easy and simple to understand. I hope the coaster turns out well :)
Best tutorial I’ve seen, it turned out great, thank you! 😊 If it starts to curl my advice would be make looser knots and add more additional strings. I used just over 10 metres in total to complete one coaster.
Thanks for this! Super simple and to the point. I appreciate not having to skip through a lot of extra stuff to get to the tutorial, and it's easy to follow even though I don't know knot names. This looks like it would be really great large-scale to make a rug as well which is what I would like to try. Feeling inspired to maybe go get some cord...
Thank you Jenn, this is the best and simplest macrame coaster tutorial I’ve found, and I watched lots that were too long and/or complicated. Keep doing what you’re doing :)
I'm blown away! Up until now I had only see loosely tied wall decorations made from macrame and I always thought they looked tacky but these are so cute! Thank you for opening my eyes to this art form 😊
Thanks so much for this! During quarantine, I needed something to keep me occupied, and this was what I needed! It was so fun and easy to make. Kudos to you.
Great tutorial! It’d be helpful to know how much cord in total (example: 1 5 foot cord, 5 30 inch cords, 4 26 inch cords, 4 XX inch cords etc . I thought I only needed the 5 ft and 5 30 inch cords until I got into it then realizing I actually needed more cording then originally listed.
She does say that you need to add cords when a gap forms, unfortunately these gaps will be different depending on how tight you do the knots and how thick or thin your cord is
@@SuperKcourts It would be more helpful if all the cords needed were given at the start of the video. Mary Canton thought only two sizes of cord were needed. Its not until you are half way through the video that you are told to add more cords, other youtubers give a list of all materials required at the start of their tutorials.
I'm in agreeance with this.. I would have appreciated knowing all the various cords needed right from the very beginning.. and now I'm just adding as I go along.. kind of winging it
Today the first time I make macrame and I make coasters following your instructions. It’s little bit hard for beginners but I did it. Even though isn’t perfect like you. Thank you already make this tutorial. Love from Indonesia
I added some macrame to a table, I really think that this coaster would look great on the table. Here's a link to the video of me making the macrame on the table. th-cam.com/video/CiGQf9wBThc/w-d-xo.html
If I wanted to make this rug size could I just triple the cord measurements? Should make any other adjustments? Thanks for the tutorial and help in advance, ordered my cord yesterday 🥳
Can you provide a list of the quantity of cords and at what length they should be cut? I get a little confused after the length of the cord starts to decrease
im having problems with this and I was wondering if you could help me! The coaster as I go round is starting to curve and isn't sitting flat where am I going wrong? apart from that the tutorial is great thank you!
Just incase anyone tries this. I’m left handed and realized I was creating the right side ( pretty side) of my project upside down instead of facing up. Also I suggest not making the loops too tight. I would just say snug. I might have more tips once it’s finished.
Hi, following this to make my very first coaster and mine is starting to curve...almost making a bowl! Am I keeping the tension too tight? Help please!!
This happened to me the first time too, it was because i was pulling them way to tight! Try making a looser knot, the second time I did it a lot looser, and it came out perfect 😊
Hey, i have a question. Can someone tell me how long is the longest string? I live in poland and my english is not the best soo yeah.. (Edit: I googled it it 152.4 cm long)
Amazing! Your instructions are very clear, thank you very much. For my first row, I ended up with a big gap. Do I just more than one extra? Or do I first need to loosen my knots? Thanks for any advice. Love the process.
It is my first try for a macrame piece. It came out a little wavy (not flat). Is it because I made the knots too tight or should I have used more additional ropes? Thank you in advance and thanks for the tutorial too!
Hi, looks really good. I'm trying to recreate a string hat, that I used to have until I washed it, and found that the strings had rotted at the head band. Would you recommend this technique or knot to recreate an inch wide strip to re attach the hat to the brim, or is there another knot I should use?
Helpful tutorial except you have to list the amounts needed in the beginning!! I only dyed the cords you mentioned at the start thinking that was all I needed and now I can’t make it 😢
5 feet = 1 m and 55 cm (aproximatelly )
30 inches= 76 cm (aproximatelly )
26 inch = 66 cm (apr)
Bless you ✨
Do you know how much total macrame cord was used for one? Trying to figure out how much cord I need! :)
you're the best
22 inch = 56 cm (apr)
@@georgettealegria6383 I guessing the 5ft cord is the 1m 55cm
Then it would be x5 chords 76cm and the gap fillers are the last number

Thank you so much for your tips, very helpful!!! ❤
@@DrDre5268 yes, or maybe just place a book or something on top to flatten it up
It sounds like you might have needed to add in more strings, any time you have a gap, add in!
@@katieprest310 was my thoughts exactly
Perfect tutorial! Easy to follow, clear instructions. I am an intermediate/advanced knotter, it took me about 25 minutes to finish one of these coasters :)
Podrias decirme el gtosor del cordon???
Such clear instructions - a delight, after all the talk-fests I have endured! Fabulous for a beginner. Thankyou.
I highly agree 👍
SERIOUSLY. I about wept with joy when the intro was less than 10 sec.

How much macrame did you use total for each one?
@@lallybean can only offer an estimate sorry, but I used about 40m for 5 coasters. So probably 6-8 metres per coaster?
This is my first time trying to make a macrame coaster and am excited. The tutorial is extremely easy and simple to understand. I hope the coaster turns out well :)
How did it turn out? Did u like it?
@@siyamishra1610 It turned out pretty , and it was quite easy to make 😊😊
I’m about to try for the first time 😅 I’m nervous!!
Best coaster video! Love how ya explained the knots

I think I started pulling too tight so it ended up being the perfect holder for my bath and body works hand sanitizers!!! I will be trying again tho
Someone said to not pull the knots as tight.
Great tutorial, is it possible if you post a list of how many cords total and all measurements so we can pre cut? Thank you xx
This is just awesome ❤️☺️ will try this for sure ❤️ loved it .....
I made with the help of ur video ... Easy tutorial..

Amazing tutorial! The macrame coaster are so trendy right now!
So nice 😊
Very nice

As a newbie, I tried this yesterday and took about 5-6 hours. Just a heads up!
Wow to do one coaster??
Cara Davoli yes one but this was my first ever macrame project which might explain why
lovely work my dear !! 💕
when i add on a lark’s to close the gap am i half hitching that too or start with the next rope? ty
hi! thanks for the amazing tutorial, do u think i can make a super huge mat with this technique?
Great tutorial! What do I do if I keep getting gaps? Do I just add another 26in cord to the holding cord?
Nice and easy❤
Beautiful. I’ll try it.
Wowww its so so sooo pretty looks very sweet simple... Ur explanation way was awesome 💟💟💟
Just wow! Thanks for sharing!
Super dope!!!!! I love this thank you
This is awesome! Thank you! What if I wanna do it with a 4mm cord? Are the sizes the same?
💕Beautiful 🌹Tutorial. Thank you 🙏🌺
Love it!
Thank you for the great tutorial ❤️.
Loved the way you have explained it.. Thank you so much!
I'm finding that my fordsbare getting too short by the 5th round. Do I just keep adding new cords?
Hi,I am making these and I was just wondering how much time it would take and how much cord I would need for about five
Mine turned out pretty good, but not flat. Also, is it normal to have to keep adding so much string to it?
Wow what a beautiful coaster ... I'll try ... Thanks for the sharing 👍👍💐
Nice video but How do you add more guide cord if you want a larger coaster?
nice...i'd like to try this..
Best tutorial ! Thank you !
😘love this tutorial
It came out gorgeous! And your tutorial was so easy to follow, I can wait to make one for myself ☺️
Amazing!!
Can you provide a list of the quantity of cords and at what length they should be cut? I get a little confused after the length of the cord starts to decrease
How do I extend the main cord if I am going to make a rug? How do I add more length as I work?
im having problems with this and I was wondering if you could help me! The coaster as I go round is starting to curve and isn't sitting flat where am I going wrong? apart from that the tutorial is great thank you!

@@АринаБаева-р9о That really helped! Thanks!
That's beautiful.

Hey :) i love it but what are the équivalence in cm please ?
3mm = .3cm diameter of cord
5' Holding cord = 152.4 cm
30" knotting cords = 76.2 cm (you will need 5 of these to start)
A useful Macramé project! Halleluja!! Thanks, yo!
Hey, i have a question. Can someone tell me how long is the longest string? I live in poland and my english is not the best soo yeah..
(Edit: I googled it it 152.4 cm long)
i know its late,but she used 1 cord of 1,5 meter and 5 cords of 75cm :).
it is so confusing for me too!every time i have to use the converter :P
What does 5 O mean? I found that very confusing too.
@@gauribharati674 i believe she means 5 feet(1,5 metre), and this is just the way they pronunciated when they talk!
@@TheAnnaak 5 feet would be almost as tall as me, I'm pretty sure it's 1.5 meter which is 59 inches.
No worries, she spoke it way too fast for me too, all I heard on numerous replays "fifa" cord? Gonna listen 100 more times, I suppose. :)
Hii I want to make same design coaster for plates what are ideal measurements for that
Hey!! Love the tutorial!! Does anyone know how to add beads in between the knots??
Пожалуйста напишите все размеры.
Когда навязывать дополнительные шнуры и какого они размера.
Amazing! Your instructions are very clear, thank you very much.
For my first row, I ended up with a big gap. Do I just more than one extra? Or do I first need to loosen my knots? Thanks for any advice. Love the process.
Hi, I would add more cord to fill in any gaps. Hope this helps.
I'd have to make mine black or it would be stained first use
It is my first try for a macrame piece. It came out a little wavy (not flat). Is it because I made the knots too tight or should I have used more additional ropes?
Thank you in advance and thanks for the tutorial too!
Yes i need answers too
Same problem here.
Thank you for this! What hook did you use for the end?
love how you coudl've made the intro long but didn't

Really neat 😍
Thank you!
Nice madam , I diffininitly try
Great tutorial , well done 👏 thank u
I pulled the longer end of the 5 foot cord and I have a loop hole obove it how do I fix it
Hey. Can you share the name of the song and artist what you used as background music? Very calming somehow
The coaster is not keeping up with the round shape? any help
