It doesn’t matter where you start looping on the macrame cords. I started with the ghost’s head using the long macrame cords. In the below steps, I’m showing you how to attach the cords with a Lark’s Head Knot. You can see it even better in my video tutorial.
Fold the cord in half and lay the top loop onto the hanger. After that grab the cords from under the hanger and pull them through the loop. Then pull the cords tight. Keep repeating that with all the cords until the head of the ghost is filled. Cut more cord if needed and don’t make the cord lineup too tight because you will need extra space when following up with the knot in the second row.
After that move on to the arms with the shorter cords the same way you just added the cords to the ghost head. You can secure one of the arms to your working surface with tape like I did if that helps.
When you reach the end of the arm, make sure that you loop the last one or two cords through the bent ends so they can’t slide off.
The next and last step to adding the cords to the arms is important. I’m right-handed so I added a long piece of macrame cord to the left arm. You might find it easier to add it to the right arm if you are left-handed.
Let me explain: The last cord that I added to the left arm was cut 5 times as long as the length of the bent hanger shape. When you loop that cord onto the hanger through the bent end of the arm, make sure not to fold it in half but to fold it so the right part of the cord matches the rest of the macrame cords on the arms. The left side will be super long because that will be the leading macrame cord for the next row of knots to get looped on.
