We recommend downloading the step-by-step photo instructions from our
basic macramé tutorial for tying this idea.
Instructions for a ball:
1. Unwind the fairy lights, remove the protective foil from the battery compartment and place them in an acrylic hemisphere. Put the acrylic sphere together.
2. Cut 22x approx. 1 m long threads from the ribbon in the desired colour and take them double.
3. Use a wave knot to attach two threads at a time to another ribbon (approx. 30 cm long), which will later serve as a suspension. Repeat this process until all the threads have been processed.
4. Knot the suspension ribbon around the acrylic ball and tie it to the suspension eyelet of the acrylic ball.
