Step-by-Step Instructions
This project primarily uses the Lark’s Head Knot to create the full, petal-like effect of the daisy.
1. Prepare the Cord
Cut one short cord (approx. 12 inches / 30 cm) for the hanging loop.
Cut the remaining cord into six equal pieces (about 1.5 feet / 45 cm each) to create the body of the daisy.
2. Attach the Cords to the Ring (Lark's Head Knot)
Fold one of your six body cords in half, and use a Lark’s Head Knot to attach it to the wooden ring.
Repeat: Attach all six body cords evenly around the ring using Lark's Head Knots. You will now have 12 hanging strands.
3. Form the Daisy Design
This step is about spacing. Push the knots closely together around the ring. The Lark's Head Knots naturally form a tight, rounded shape that mimics petals when fully compressed.
Tie the short 12-inch cord onto the top of the ring with a simple knot to create the hanging loop for your car mirror.
4. Add the Bead and Finish
Gather all 12 loose ends of your body cords and thread them through the hexagon bead. Pull the bead up snugly against the macrame work.
Secure: Tie a simple, tight knot immediately under the bead to secure it in place.
Trim & Scent: Trim the excess cord below the knot to your desired length. Add a drop of your favorite essential oil to the cotton cord below the bead.
