Anleitung für Teelichtgläser in Naturoptik
Anleitung No. 1402Discover here a simple Macramé Idea, which creates beautiful lanterns from simple tea light glasses for indoors or outdoors.
Here's how it's done
Material requirementsTo make the pair of lanterns you need 1 Macramé-set in Nature: The large glass was made from 10 strands Yarn à 1 m, the small glass from 10 strands of yarn à 39 cm.
Preparation
Take the first tea light. In the first step, place Macramé-Yarn once around the glass to determine the length of the "basic thread". Calculate some thread length for a knot that will hold the thread on the glass later.
Now lay the thread in front of you and loop one strand each around the base thread at intervals of approx. 1.5 cm, so that this makes two threads. Fix the basic thread with double-sided Adhesive tape on the glass and start knotting.
Macramé nodes
The first Macramé row of knots is created by knotting one thread of one strand to the nearest thread of the "neighbouring strand". Care should be taken to ensure that all knots are set at the same height.
In the next row, the individual threads are again knotted with the threads from the neighbouring knot. Thus a pretty grid is created
Alternatively, in one row wooden beads are used instead of Macramé knots. Simply pull the two threads that would have to be knotted together through a Pearl and tie a knot at Pearl to fix it.
Once you have reached the bottom of the glass, tie another knot. Pull a piece of Yarn through all the "loops" of this last row, tighten it, knot it and glue the knots additionally with Handicraft glue .
For decoration (see big glass) pull wooden beads on a thread and knot them at the basic thread.
Clean Macramé-Edge
Glue transparent double-sided Adhesive tape to the base thread (upper edge of the knot work). Wrap Yarn around the glass several times in smooth rows - this will give you a clean optical finish to your Macramé-work.
