From knotting a simple spiral bracelet to creating a boho wall hanging--macrame has never been easier or more stylish.

In this book, Japanese macrame and handicraft guru Harumi Kageyama presents illustrated step-by-step lessons that introduce you to 28 different knots and 23 innovative projects, including ornamental, wearable, and useful items such as:

• Reusable shopping bags that look chic and cut down on waste
• Knotted handbags and pouches that add a boho touch to any outfit
• An ornamental feather to embellish just about anything
• Spiral bracelets that call back to everyone's favorite friendship bracelets
• Covers to transform glass jars into unique decorative objects for events or home decor
• And more!
