macrames
Decorative cord crafts
Macrames is the plural of macramé, a craft technique using knotted cords to create decorative patterns.
The term can refer to multiple pieces made this way—wall hangings, plant holders, jewelry—or to different styles of the craft: She sells her macrames at the farmers market.
The craft enjoyed peak popularity in the 1970s and has seen periodic revivals.
