macramé madness

Last week we made Macramé keychains with Britlyn and Karli. Along with a little history of the practice, the class learned the Macramé technique of knotting hemp string. We each included a minimum of three beads to this 6th grade project. 
I have used embroidery floss with similar techniques, but this was one of my first experiences with using the hemp string. 
An extension activity could include completing more research on the history of Macramé. The students could them compile their research into a Ppt or Prezi Presentation with pictures of their own work.
Have a creative day!
