What You’ll Need for this Macrame Christmas Ball Ornament:

• Macrame Cord: Silent Knot uses 4 mm twisted Macrame cords
• Scissors: For cutting the cord (recommendation: Fiskars Fabric Scissors)
• Measuring Tape: To ensure even lengths (view recommendation)

TIP: If you’re using a different type or size of cord, you’ll need to adjust the cord lengths. Remember, if your cord is thicker, cut longer lengths; if it’s thinner, you may be able to use less. Working with a few extra inches on your first try of any new pattern is always better.
