Micro macrame differs from regular macrame because the thickness of the materials used is much finer. Beautiful and infinitely versatile, these micro macrame projects show crafters how to capture the allure of this classic craft by combining it with braids, cords, beads, stones, and pendants to create stunning items that rival the elegance and intricacy of macrame pieces made years ago–but are easy to make and have a modern appeal.
