Macrame , frendship bracelets.

The word “Macrame” is believed to come from the Arabian word “Migramah”, meaning fringe.
The art was invented by Arabian weavers in the 13th century, while trying to decorate the edges of cloths and towels.Macrame was started by mid century European sailors who entertained themselves by making belts and other trivial items during long voyages at sea.It was popular in Italy – in the 15th century the famous Italian artist Botticelli even depicted a man wearing a Macrame hat in one of his paintings! From Italy and England the handicraft was spread to North America…


 

Macramé has grown up and is fashionable all over again as micro macrame. Macramé is the art of knotting where you create your patterns through knots. The materials most often used in standard macramé are hemp, leather, yarn,and cotton twine. These materials are sometimes used when making jewelry with beads, glass, or wood.
