How to Make a Macrame Shelf
To make a Macrame shelf all you need is some sturdy 5mm Macrame cords (in most cases but make sure to check the tutorial you’re following), a wooden dowel and/or wooden ring, and one or two wooden shelves with holes drilled in them.

You can usually buy shelves in your local hardware store and have them drill holes for you on request. Make sure you write down the needed measurements before you head out!
