I’m continuing on my Thanksgiving DIY decor theme with these easy macrame napkin rings!

Of course, you could make them year round and they’ll look great, it doesn’t have to be just for the holidays.

These would pair wonderfully with these macrame placemats to create an awesomely boho tablescape!

Lately, I’ve been seeing more and more boho and farmhouse decor mixed together at all the fun home decor shops.

One of my favorite places to browse home decor is Target. They always have all the fun Joanna Gaines stuff which I love, plus the dollar spot. You gotta love the dollar spot!

Last time I was there, I saw a macrame table runner and I started thinking hey, some macrame napkin rings would go great with that!

These are really quick and easy and they only use three knots: the lark’s head knot, double half hitch, and square knots.

If you’re new to macrame and haven’t mastered those yet, check out this Basic Macrame Knots for Beginners tutorial. It includes a link to get my free printable PDF with the 5 most important macrame knots, including the ones needed for this tutorial!

Then, take the six long cords, fold them in half and attach them to the shorter cord with lark’s head knots.

Step 2: Tie the top diagonal double half hitch knots

Now we’re going to tie the top half of the diamond shape.

Take the seventh cord from the left and use it as the filler cord, then tie six diagonal double half hitch knots going down and to the left.

Then, grab the sixth cord from the right and use it as the filler cord for five diagonal double half hitch knots going down and to the right.

Step 3: Tie the big square knot

Step 4: Tie the bottom diagonal double half hitch knots

To finish the diamond shape, grab the farthest cord to the left and use it to tie five diagonal double half hitch knots down and to the right.

Then, use the farthest cord to the right and use it as the filler cord to tie six diagonal double half hitch knots down and to the left.

Step 5: Trim and brush out the fringe

Now you can cut the fringe in a V shape and brush it out. Give it another trim and its ready to tie on your napkin!
