DIY hanging macrame cat bed | Cute DIY present gift ideas for cat lovers | ADVANCED tutorial 😊

Hi everyone!
First of all I need to say sorry about the audio quality on this tutorial, I lost my headphones that I use to record the audio on so I bought some new ones and the audio is AWFUL but there was no way I was going to film it all again 😅 I now have a good quality microphone so my next tutorial will be much better!
But how cute is this hanging cat bed?! 😍 I love how it turned out and can’t wait to see my friends cats using it! This project is suited for more advanced macrame makers. It’s really sturdy and secure so will provide a lot of comfort for your kitty with a cushion insert, or even just a blanket. If you make it let me know how it turns out in the comments or tag me on instagram @lunacraftsonline!

    one of the best macrame tutorial i have seen! you are a fab instructor. do you have any suggestions for measurements if i use a 3mm cord? you don't need to give me detailed instructions, just an idea. many thanks!

    Aw thank you, that is so sweet! I really want to make more tutorials but work is hectic atm but that’s made my day, thank you! ☺️ If I’m honest I’m not sure, you will have to do a lot more knots using 3mm to get the same length and design of the 5mm cord. So if it were me I’d probably add on 160-200cm just to be sure I have enough, you’d always rather have too much cord than not enough. Obviously you don’t need to add that much length onto the wrapping cords though! Hope that helps you somehow ☺️ let me know how it turns out!

    Hello! I’m adding my last hoop to the bottom and for some reason it won’t go on evenly. The hoop itself is level but it’s making my square knots above look lopsided on one side. Any ideas what’s causing this?

  • @lunacraftsonline

    @lunacraftsonline

    Ай бұрын

    If I’m honest I remember mine looked a little lopsided too, not sure if that comes up on the video. Could be due to the tension of the knots being tighter on one side or slightly shorter gaps in between the rows on one side etc. But I do remember thinking mine looked a little lopsided but I think it’s fine once it’s hanging up and has a blanket etc in! I’m sure you’re cat won’t mind either, it’s handmade with love after all 😋

    Great video! I'm going to use 48cm hoops for my big cat. Will the lengths needed change much? I know the pieces needed to wrap the hoops will be the biggest change, but what about the other pieces? Or maybe I need to add more pieces for the basket part of it?

  • @lunacraftsonline

    @lunacraftsonline

    Жыл бұрын

    Thank you! Yes you’re right, you’ll need to increase the length of the cords that wrap around the hoops and also add more cords onto the hoop to form the basket. Otherwise the gaps in the basket will be a bit too big and it may become a bit flimsy! Let me know how it turns out 😊

    Would the length of cord be the same if using 3mm?

  • @lunacraftsonline

    @lunacraftsonline

    6 ай бұрын

    I’d recommend adding more length onto each measurement as the knots you make using 3mm will use up more cord to get the same measurements and dimensions that the cat bed is ☺️ I wouldn’t know exactly how much to add on as there’s no formula for it but maybe 100cm to try and be sure? Or add more if you want to be sure but you might have a lot leftover but it’s better to have that than not enough cord ☺️

    Hi, sorry for the late reply! You should probably add extra onto each length as the knots will use up more cord as the mm if thicker ☺️ I don’t know exactly how much you should add on as there’s no formula to work it out but if it were me I’d air on the side of caution and add more because you’d rather have too much cord than not enough!

    It all depends if I’m honest! I would work out how much the materials would cost you in total and then work out how long it will take you to make so you can figure out what hourly amount you want to charge for your time and then add that up 😊
