Discover the different techniques for creating handmade macramé accessories with natural fibers
Handicrafts have the power to express your style and personality by allowing you to shape your ideas with your hands. This is precisely what Mapi Casafranca, textile artist and founder of AMARENA, is passionate about. Her brand is committed to fair trade and sustainable production, which combines traditional artisan techniques from Peru with carefully crafted finishes.
In this course, learn to design and create versatile handcrafted bags with natural fibers. Use macramé techniques to explore different finishes to personalize your accessories. Are you ready to tell a unique story with your own hands?
Start by getting to know your teacher, Mapi Casafranca. She tells you how she got her start in sustainable fashion, how she developed her professional career through her brand AMARENA, and where she finds inspiration to design her pieces.
Go through the materials needed for this course. Then, delve into the technical details, types of natural fibers, and the different fabrics and accessories you can use to develop a sample design of your bag.
Define a clear concept of what you want to convey with your design and organize your inspiration on a mood board. Afterwards, define your ideas by selecting the material, shape, colors, and patterns in a first sketch.
Next, start creating your handbag step by step and choose the final touches that best suits your style: a fringed finish, fringes tied with flat knots, or a flat finish.
