Christmas is just around the corner and it’s time to decorate our homes. If you are looking for Bohemian-inspired Christmas decorations, these Macrame Christmas Stars will go beautifully in any room in your home.

I am sharing two simple macrame tutorials using natural string that can be made more colourful by changing the string. You can also add fairy light and other decorations to make them more festive and to suit your decor.

1. Cut 2 x 1.5meters of string

2. Make half square knots starting from the top all the way around the star.

3. When you run out of string, cut two more pieces 1.5 meters long and start a new half square knot around the copper start wreath and the 4 strings

4. Continue until you reach the end. Turn the macrame and with the help of a crochet hook or tapestry needle pull the 4 strings through one or two half square knots and trim the ends.
