8. The “Ethereal” Silk Ribbon Hanger

For 2026, macrame is getting softer. Replacing some cotton strands with recycled silk ribbons or chiffon strips adds a flowy, romantic texture that catches the breeze from open windows.

  • How to Make: Use a 50/50 mix of cotton cord and silk ribbon. Knot them together using loose “Half-Hitch Knots.” The varying thicknesses of the materials create an “organized messy” look that is very popular on Pinterest.
  • Items to Make: Recycled sari silk ribbon, 3mm cotton cord, and a vintage-style porcelain pot.
