Macramé Madness

This activity introduced us to the macramé process. Students would really enjoy this because it is something they can wear/use daily. This lesson was taught to make key chains. The teachers first went over the history of the macramé. I would use the history an extension activity. The students would be taught how sailors came up with the idea. I would have the students come up with different uses for the macramé using group collaboration. They would create their own macramé masterpieces. I think this is a great activity for students that broadens their idea of “art”.
