Hi guys, thanks for stopping by my channel! I want to start by letting you know that I couldn't record myself in this video because the townhouse right next door is getting renovated and it was so loud I could barely hear myself think, let alone give instructions. So I hope my written instructions will suffice.

In today's tutorial we are making this cute drawstring bag, that looks almost like it is woven, or perhaps knitted. I just love these knots and hope you do too. The strap is made using a four strand braided technique, but if you prefer something different, please feel free to experiment and have some fun with this design.

**Please note, the swivel clasps I used are quite small, it was what I had on hand, you can use any size you choose.

If you are new to macrame and/or need some help with the basic knots, please watch this video before you begin:
