Here are my handbag straps made from parachute cord. Parachute cord comes in many colors, however for this project I used white. The top piece is braid, the middle is square knots and the last is separated square knots. These are the easiest knots of macrame. Here is the link.

I agree. I like the solid look of the middle one. I enjoyed macramé but never made any really large items. I preferred to sew.

me too, I want something more substantial for the handles. Hope this works, they sew so nice.

They all look great. I am certainly not attempting any thing that looks like this. Well done

It is really easy. you have to be able to hold for a time.

I prefer the middle one - I did soooo much macrame in the 70's!

after all this I decided to side rail the project until I can make what I want.

Thanks for that
