This tutorial is meant for beginners who want to venture beyond super simple projects. I will go over each knot used in this project in details.
If you are an absolute beginner and would like to create this purse without buying a whole lot of macrame cord. Reach out to me and I will be happy to create a kit for you with pre-measured, pre-cut cord.
