Craft bohemian macrame pieces that elevate any living space
Macrame has made a stunning comeback in home decor, with wall hangings, plant hangers, and curtains becoming staples of boho-chic interiors. Shopify helps macrame artists sell their knotted creations to design-conscious homeowners worldwide.
Single-strand and 3-ply cotton macrame cord (3mm-8mm), wooden dowels, driftwood, copper pipe, metal rings, and wooden beads. Buy cord in bulk to reduce costs.
A wall-mounted rack or freestanding frame for working on large pieces vertically. You need enough height to work on wall hangings and enough space to lay out plant hangers.
Master 8-10 essential knots (square, spiral, berry, gathering, lark's head, etc.). YouTube tutorials and macrame books are excellent free resources.
Master square knots, spiral knots, and gathering knots first. These form the foundation of 90% of macrame products. Practice with inexpensive cord before buying premium materials.
Start with 3-5 product types: wall hangings (small, medium, large), plant hangers, and table runners. Offer neutral colors plus 2-3 on-trend colors each season.
Offer each design in multiple sizes. A wall hanging in small ($35), medium ($65), and large ($120) captures different budgets and room sizes.
Style your macrame in room settings — hanging on walls, holding plants, over beds. Show scale with furniture nearby. Include dimensions in every listing.
Share your work on Pinterest (huge for home decor), Instagram, and home decor Facebook groups. Offer styling tips alongside your products.
Include a wall-mounting kit (hook and anchor) with every wall hanging — this removes a friction point for customers
Photograph your pieces styled in different room aesthetics (modern, boho, minimalist) to appeal to broader audiences
Offer custom sizing — many customers want a specific width to fit their wall space, and macrame is easily customizable

Start Free Shopify TrialSmall plant hangers sell for $20-40, medium wall hangings for $50-100, and large statement pieces for $150-500+. Price based on cord used (measure your cord cost per piece), time invested, and the complexity of the design.
Single-strand cotton cord (3mm-5mm) is the most versatile and popular. Use 3-ply twisted cord for a softer, more textured look. For outdoor pieces, use polyester or nylon cord that resists moisture and UV damage.
Gently fold the piece, wrap in tissue paper, and roll into a tube or fold into a flat mailer. Include re-hanging instructions and a care card. For extra-large pieces, use a long shipping tube to prevent creasing.
