Every hear the saying, “Everything old is new again?” That is certainly the case when talking about macramé with the vintage revival in full swing and bohemian décor back in popular demand, ‘70s nostalgia is all the rage in fashion and interior decorating. Macramé and traditional handcrafts are definitely trending again; from Etsy to Pinterest to PAMA workshops, macramé is everywhere.

What is macramé? A form of textile-making art, macramé uses knotting to create intricate patterns and designs. These hangings create one-of-a-kind statements in your home with a contemporary spin on the ‘70s tradition. Fresh new materials, styles and designs have been taking this classic craft into contemporary interiors.
