ABSTRACT:
An improved device for forming macrame includes an elongated extensible center pole held in an upright position by a preferably weighted support base, and bearing a plurality of spaced, releasably secured, adjustable frame support members, each in the form of a central collar with radiating removable spokes. A top macrame-supporting hook or bracket bearing spaced hooks is secured to the upper end of the pole.
The device enables one to readily perform the method of the present invention and thus quickly and easily make a hanging macrame item or the like. In carrying out the method, macrame-forming material is secured to the top hook bracket, or hooks and passed down over open frames which may be symmetrically supported on the device specifically around the center pole on the support members. Macrame is then progressively formed, preferably from adjacent the top of the pole downwardly, the spacing of the frames and support members enabling one to pull the macrame material taut thereover before and during macrame formation. The pole can be periodically adjusted in height in order to keep the work in full view as it progresses. When the macrame is fully formed, it is separated from the device, removing the frames or leaving them in place, as desired.
