Okay, who here remembers how to macrame? I remember learning to macrame as a child in the 70s. My son and his friends would make these friendship bracelets out of hemp, I watched one day, and thought, "Hmm, that sure reminds me of macrame". However, when I confront the kids with this thought, I was informed that this was not macrame because that was "Soooo 70s" and they would not dream of doing that. Well, I laughed but I know that those friendship bracelets sure have a striking resemblance to my macrame curtains.
I love my macrame curtains. They are in my dining room over the patio door. Perfect place for them I might add. These are macrame from the top heading down for about 12 inches, then they turn into the most beautiful lace curtains you have ever seen. I have a considerable amount of panels because I have a large doorway. This isn't uncommon because lace is so delicate and fine; it is usually nice to double up on what is needed. On top of that I have a gorgeous macrame scarf valance that is placed beautifully over the top. This is a beautiful dining room setting.
Macrame curtains come in many styles and color choices to fill even the most fussy persons needs. I like the ones with a combination of other material such as lace or sheers. Usually, you can even get these specially ordered for those special needs. Any room with macrame curtains has a certain flare of the old, yet a flare for the modern day conveniences. These are extra nice because they can be washed in the convenience of your home - unlike drapes.
Before you go purchasing new curtains, it is important to know what you need.

Most curtains come in what is called panels. Panel sizes can be deceiving: a panel that is 40 inches wide will not fit a 40-inch wide opening. First, measure your opening from left to right, then top to bottom with a tape measure. I would suggest adding 2 inches per side for hardware and such. It is suggested that the window covering measures 2 to 3 times wider than the measurement you took. Consequently, a 40-inch opening would be 88- to 132-inches wide. I like keeping my panels even though. Therefore, I would use either two panels or four panels according to the width measured.
I find it useful to have all of the hardware need before I start a project, and I always start hanging curtains early in the day. I live in a subdivision that when it gets night, people would be able to see into. I avoid this by hanging things during sunny, daylight hours. You usually can use a small power drill, or you can use the old fashioned screw drivers to help place screws. I know that all curtains come with nails for connecting, but I never use nails. They tend to do more damage than good. Buying a few screws is extremely cheap and always worth the money. A step ladder is handy as well. I use a stud finder and a leveler as well. Having all these things together before you start will make your macrame curtain installation a snap.
