We’re excited to introduce our November Craftiosity kit – Festive Macramé Magic, the perfect way to bring a handmade touch to your holiday season. This kit isn’t just about crafting; it’s a creative adventure that lets you weave the spirit of the season into beautiful, personalised Christmas decorations that you’ll cherish for years to come.
With this kit, you’ll create three charming macramé Christmas trees in festive green, berry red, and natural tones, as well as two delicate macramé stars. The trees and stars make versatile decorations that can be hung on your Christmas tree, added to a garland, or displayed around your home for a cosy, handmade holiday feel. You can even gift them to friends and loved ones for a thoughtful, handcrafted present that spreads holiday cheer!
What’s Inside the Kit?
We’ve packed everything you need to craft these beautiful holiday pieces:
- Natural Cotton Macramé Cord: Soft, eco-friendly, and perfect for intricate knots. It’s ideal for creating a range of textures and patterns.
- Sage Green & Berry Red Food Colour: Add festive vibrance to your macramé trees with these easy-to-use dyes. You’ll learn a simple dyeing technique that brings out rich, warm colours perfect for the season.
- Latex-Free Gloves: Keep your hands protected while you dye your cords.

With step-by-step photo instructions and an online video tutorial, mastering macramé and dyeing is easy—even if you’re new to this craft. Our guides will walk you through every knot and dyeing step, making sure your decorations turn out beautifully.
All you’ll need is a pair of scissors, a tape measure or ruler, and a bowl or container for dyeing.

Key Tips for Experimenting with the Macramé Christmas Decorations
- To dye or not to dye? We dyed one tree red, another green, and left one natural for a rustic look. However, feel free to experiment—dye all the trees the same colour, create an ombre effect, or leave them undyed for a simple, classic touch.
- Customise your decorations. Get creative with the ribbon and bells included in the kit, or add personal touches with items from your craft stash. Think beads, sequins, embroidery thread, or yarn—glue, stitch, or tie them on for extra flair and make each decoration uniquely yours.
