Tips for Working with 4mm Macrame Cord

• Use a sturdy macrame board, dowel, or branch as your base
• Cut cord lengths 4-5x your desired finished length for most patterns
• Keep working lengths around 2.5-3 meters to prevent tangling
• Use a wire brush or pet slicker brush to create fluffy, luxurious fringe
• Practice basic knots first: square knot, half hitch, lark's head knot
• Secure ends with overhand knots or clear-drying fabric glue
• Store in a cool, dry place in breathable bags
• Measure and plan before cutting - especially for large projects
• Use a spray bottle to lightly mist cord if it becomes too dry
• Comb out tangles gently rather than pulling
