Suporte de Planta de Macramê (Nó invertido) | Tutorial Passo a Passo

Hello, I'm Osana, founder of Escola de Nóis and today I want to teach you how to make a plant support with an inverted knot To make this plant support, I chose to work with two types of thread actually, not two types one type, which is the cotton cord, but with two different thicknesses and when I show you the material, you will understand why Well, I want to show you everything you will need to make this piece, come with me we will need measuring tape scissors our friend, the tape here I have a 3mm cotton cord that's what I told you, they are two different thicknesses in this work look, we will need 3 meters of 3mm cord 1 cord of 3 meters and two cords of 70 centimeters this 3 meter cord we will use to make the net handle and these two cords of 70 centimeters are to make the hidden knot to make the support, we will use 6 cords of 3 meters but now I'm using the 6mm cotton cord but Osana, you will ask me, why did you change the cord? because the 6mm cord is quite thick, quite thick to make the hidden knot with it, and to make the net handle it would be too rough, too thick so I preferred to make the net handle and the hidden knot with the 3mm cotton cord, which is thinner and will give a delicacy to this plant support now that I've told you everything we're going to need let's make this piece the first thing we're going to do is to take the 6 cords of 3 meters and match the tips look, we're going to match the tips, I've already cut here we already have here 6 cords 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 we match the tips and, oops, it slipped we match the tips, hold it tight so I don't do what I did and we will match the tips down there to find half to find half of these cords I found half here this is half, which we will now make the net handle how do we do this? look, I'm going to mark this piece here which is about 12cm but for André not to get nervous I'm going to measure for André not to get nervous I'm going to measure look here, let's go how much is here? say André 12cm just for André not to get nervous that I measure so we do this more or less in the eye 12cm now we're going to start making the net handle and why am I going to teach you how to make the net handle? what is the advantage of making the net handle? does it give more work? yes, it gives more work but look, you can replace the wooden ring because when you want to make a plant support where you want to put a heavier plant, for example maybe that wooden ring won't last that long the wooden ring can dry out and break for me this is a great advantage of the net handle replace the wooden ring besides bringing resistance to your work and beauty, because it looks very beautiful a plant support with a net handle if you have difficulty doing this on the eyes you can mark with the adhesive tape and then I'll show you this now for us to start the net handle we do like this to help, we can mark here with an adhesive tape where I have to start if you prefer, you can tie a line I attached it on this side and I'll attach it on this side too I attached the cords and this is the 12cm measurement where I have to start and finish my net handle that it will be this size here done that, I attached it here, I marked it and now I take that 3m cord only 3mm I hold here I leave a tip I hold here with my thumb on top of the adhesive tape that I marked and I hold with my thumb I come to the other mark here the other tape is here I come to the other mark and I make a ring this ring will be this size which is the size I need for my net handle and now what do I do? let me hang this here to make it easier and now what do I do? with the rest of the cord, I'm going to wrap this movement here one line wrapped in sequence of the other it's a hidden knot that I'm doing look at this and we go patiently wrapping this here without squeezing too much but also without letting it too loose and we will take this roll until we get here at the end of this ring and we go taking look, I'm going to run a little bit when I get here, we'll be back look, we already came here going around and holding all that cord here making building the net handle let me tell you, it's important that this line is very close to each other and very tight I'm not going to squeeze too much but I can't let it loose because if not, when I do this movement here the lines will open so it needs to be very tensed at the time of putting and then I came with it look, the ring is here I came with it until the tape arrives look the tape is here can you see it? and the ring is here and then what do we do? take this cord go through here and pull pull hold here tensed and now we are going to pull with this other cord here we are going to pull and bring this ring and the line here inside making the net handle stay firm let's pull the line will come together can you see that the line is moving? can you see? until we feel that it's firm look we test here look how beautiful perfect now what do we do? we take this excess that was here and we can also take the marking of the tape we don't need it anymore let's take the tape here on the other side too look, now we're going to take the excess here, it's very firm this one too now that we've done the hidden knot to make the net handle we're going to join everything end to end here and we're going to make another hidden knot here with one of those 70 cm cords look we hold here hold here on my thumb here on my ring finger I turn around to make this ring that I hold under my thumb too and with the rest I'm going to make the turns my advice is the same that I gave the other time these turns have to be right one after the other well touched it can't be neither too tight nor too loose if it gets too tight what will happen? when you want to pull your thread, it won't pass because it's too tight but if it gets too loose when you pull, the thread will come out at once so pay attention to the firmness with which you're going to wrap this cord here on the last turn I gave here 1, 2, 3 4, 5, 6, 7 8 8 turns on the last turn I pass the cord through the ring finger I hold and I'm going to pull up here I pulled and brought the knot here inside and hid it and it didn't look pretty I'm going to do it again look here, I wrapped it back here can you see? I wrapped it back here and it didn't look pretty let's do it again how do we undo a hidden knot? I was pulling here to finish the hidden knot I come back with it here I came back and I'm going to undo look let me unroll it and do it again because I like it to look pretty and let's go now yes I held I held here I turned around and now I'm going one turn two three four five six seven oops and eight eight turns let's see if it's pretty it's pretty and on the eighth turn I go in here and I'm going to pull up there I pull I take my knot in there and voila look how pretty we fix it now we fix it to remove this excess and underneath this tip we can hide here and hide here beauty? and look how beautiful on both sides very beautiful done this let's start our plant support because until now we were doing the net handle now we are going to start doing the support what do we have to do here? we put six cords to do this tie here six cords we stay down here with twelve lines and then we are going to divide four lines and we are going to do let me unfold here we are going to do three arms look three arms each with four lines so I separate this one let me get this scissors over there four lines here I separated I separate four more here one, two, three and four and I'm going to stay here with one, two, three and four we fix these lines I like to fix the lines so they stay straight one, two, three, four one, two, three and four so we stay here with three arms to work let me put this on the side because I hang here too look at this we stay with three arms of four lines now that I divided three arms of four lines we are going to start to do the knots to do each arm of the plant support the first thing we are going to do here is a sequence of square knots we are going to do five square knots one on top of the other and let's start let me remind you that the square knot goes like this I have four lines I take the right line I pass under the two lines of the middle and over the left line this left line comes here inside and we pull and we will take until up there and tighten this is the first part of the square knot the second part does the same way only to the opposite side left line under the two of the middle and over the right line the right line comes here inside and I pull I took it up there and tighten and here I have the first square knot ready and we are going to do five square knots continuing always to one side and to the other Ah! Muzana but I forgot which side I was doing I don't know anymore I needed to answer the phone I don't know which side I was doing how do you know that your square knot is complete? when you do this little head here then you know that the square knot is complete so I did one two square knots but if it is complete how am I going to continue now? this side here is going to give the knot because this side here is already complete so I start to make the knot on the right side again and I continue tighten and I finish my knot so this is the way you know if you completed your square knot or also how many square knots I already did one, two, three, I need to do five so I need two more and then we go one, two, three, four and now I go to the last square knot and five ok? so a sequence of five square knots this is what we did here then when we do this, what happens? when we work with the square knot in sequence look at this André, let's see if you can show here look what happened the lines that were the same look what happened the side lines they get smaller and the middle lines are the same size why is that? because when I do the square knot I only work with these side lines the middle lines serve me as a base but the binding it has been done by the external lines here an option that we have to compensate this difference that the square knot causes in the lines is to use the inverted knot the inverted knot it is beautiful and brings this benefit you compensate this loss you will see this how do I do this? I will invert the lines the lines that are inside come out and the ones that are outside come in but how do I do this? the inside lines come out and the outside ones come in and with these here I already do the square knot right line under the middle lines and over the left line that comes in here I pull and voila I have here an inverted knot but I have to complete the knot but before I complete I want to measure a standard measure let me measure and I will tell you that we will do this inverted knot with 7 cm it was exactly what I wanted look at this 7 cm and we will now finish the inverted knot I did it on one side and now I complete it on the other side as a normal square knot I pressed and look at this how beautiful it's an inverted knot the inverted knot is a variant of the square knot because I actually do the square knot again what am I going to do now? I'm going to do another sequence of 5 square knots before we continue the sequence of square knots let me show you what happened remember that we had the middle line very big and the side lines very short, shorter now look what happened I brought that short line inside and I put the bigger lines out this is the gain that we have when we use the inverted knot now we will do 4 more knots we will do a sequence like we did here a sequence of 5 square knots and here we go right line under the two in the middle over the left line that comes here and then the opposite left line under the two in the middle over the right line that comes here and we pull and tighten and we complete this sequence of square knots after an inverted knot to compensate the difference of the cords that are shorter on the side and longer inside but you will ask do I need to do this every time I use the square knot? no, you don't need to this is just one option that makes you save the line besides bringing beauty to your work look, we did now 5 square knots in sequence like we did up here and what are we going to do? now we let it loose because look here we equalized the ends see? we equalized the ends with a minimal difference and now we will do this same work on the other two arms to later join them all and close our plant support and then just follow that same scheme I'll even leave it stretched here because we will follow it in the heights you don't need to mark and measure with the measuring tape right here you can already see and measure your size and then we go square knot right line under the two in the middle above the left and come here tighten it up and do it to the other side left line under the two in the middle and above the right line that comes here continuing here always square knot we will do sequence of 5 square knots look you will do the same scheme that we did on the first arm repeat on the other two equal and I will do here I will run I will repeat this same process on this arm and on the other when I get to the other at this point here we will go back to do the final step of the work we did here the three arms ok? and now we will join these arms making a basket a kind of basket to receive the vase how do we do this? we take these four lines that are here we take two lines of one arm with two lines of another arm and we will do here a square knot and now we need to measure with the measuring tape and we will measure here 25 cm under the knot and I come here 25 I will make here a square knot joining these two arms here look at this I took two lines here two lines here and here I will make a square knot right line under the two in the middle and over the left line look the left line comes here and I pull let me say something interesting a lot of people when they do this work here don't pay attention to these measures in the measure not in this measure exactly but in the measure you are using and another thing when I want to do this kind of work here I need to tension the lines the lines have to be with the correct measure and tensioned you know why? so that when you put your vase it doesn't happen from the line to do this I put the vase and the line was loose why? because you made a mistake in the measure and didn't tension the lines when you were tying when you tie you need to tension the line inside the measure and then yes I will complete my knot now I do the other side and complete the square knot I press and it's done the line is always well-intentioned the line is well-intentioned I turn to make it easier now I do the same thing two lines of one knot two lines of the other knot I tension the line well-intentioned until the measure I want which is 25 cm I tension the other line too and I tension this one so I can know exactly where I have to tie my knot right line under the two in the middle above the left line which comes here and I pull and before I tighten the knot I check here is the knot at the same height? at the same height I can complete the knot I completed and I tighten I check because if it's not right we undo there's still time to undo now let's do the last one two from here and I do I didn't even need to turn and I do my square knot I tension the line again right line under above the left and the left comes here and now I go it's at the height, see? it's very different what do I do? I open, stretch and a little more tensioned we realize that now it's at the same height I can complete the knot I don't let go before completing the knot and when I do the knot I'm stretching the line again to not loosen the knot I tighten and look at this I have the net ready and now we will continue to join this here you got here in the video comment there, well intentioned look at this, how beautiful now what do we do? look again we have that same difference between the cords but not because of that I will use again the inverted knot because after all this is a plant support with an inverted knot and we are using and abusing the inverted knot I will invert here again look come here Andre the lines from the center come out and the outside come in and we make here an inverted knot and here this inverted knot will not have the same measure as here here I will simply do 5 cm I measure like this from the bottom of the knot to the other knot 5 cm so we come here measure 5 cm and I can close the square knot here invert the lines but now complete the square knot tighten and I got here with an inverted knot that will be well on the vase wall I do on the other side the same thing I will invert here I brought here to make the knot and I will do the same measure of 5 cm look here I tension to see if it's the same I can close the knot now the last arm now I will turn the last arm and I will do the same thing I will invert the lines and make the square knot after the inversion I calculate here it's right I can close the knot I closed the knot and look how beautiful how beautiful after we did this here we made the inverted knot at the end of each arm we will measure here 6 cm and it's here where I will make the hidden knot I hold I made the turn here and I will I have to be careful and I will make the turns 1 2 I will make 8 turns now I can do I made the first tie 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 I brought the line and I pulled and I will cut the excess and hide the tip I will cut the excess and hide the tip ok we have a fringe here what are we going to do here? hit this fringe and give it that natural air just spreading the tip of the cords so that it stay with this natural air deflated it stayed because I was using and now look how beautiful it's very natural and now it's time to put our plant here and see how it will look look Andre I brought this beautiful plant to put here but I'm thinking because the plant is heavy I'm afraid to scratch I'm going to put it here now yes now it's the time of truth let's open here our net and then where I told you I told you that this hidden knot this inverted knot it would stay on the side of the vase that we were going to put here and look how beautiful exactly as I told you look, you see, it stays on the side of the vase look how beautiful and voila our piece is ready look how beautiful it is if you liked it and want to learn more macramé pieces subscribe to my channel on youtube enjoy it follow me on my instagram where I put daily content to make this wonderful art of macramé easier and see you in the next video
