Jute Macrame Twine

What was your inspiration?

My daughter needed a basket for her church to hold packets of beverage powders and this came to mind.

What are you most proud of?

I like the embellishment of the polymer clay tag with the church's name embossed in it. Though it's got nothing to do with the pattern, it shows that if you embellish these, you can really change their look to personalize it for whomever you give it to.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

If you decide to use jute twine, be prepared to have your hands hurt. It's not an easy "yarn" to work with. BUT for this project, any thick yarn will work - super bulky and even rag yarn works great!
