“Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring tingle tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Sleigh bells jingling, ring tingle tingling too”
Friends! It’s finally Christmas time! Our favorite time of the year (we know you sang that with us…)
Here at Bochiknot, we love creating - and if you’ve read our blogs - you’ll know we also love giving and there is no other time of the year that brings these two loves together quite like Christmas does. ‘Tis the season for beautiful handmade gifts and ornaments.
In fact, we have a tradition in our home where every year we add something handmade by each member of the family to our Christmas tree, and in the spirit of giving we’re giving you 5 Christmas Macrame Ornament Patterns (with step-by-step instructions) so that you can do the same… all while watching a Christmas movie!
Macrame Christmas Tree Ornament
Picture this: you, cozy on the couch, armed with macrame cords in Grinchy green and Who-ville red, embarking on a mission to craft the cutest macrame Christmas tree ornament ever, all while the Grinch tries to steal Christmas on the screen.
Get your knot-tying game on point with a pattern that's as twisted as the Grinch's plot to swipe those presents. Add a dash of sparkle, because, let's face it, even the Grinch secretly loves a bit of bling - we all remember the Christmas tree he made for Martha!
Now, every knot you tie is like a mini victory against the Grinch's dastardly plans. Take snack breaks for Grinch snacks – think Grinch-green gummy bears and Who-ville popcorn – to keep your creative energy flowing.
Feel free to channel your inner Grinch by muttering a few "Bah, humbug!" exclamations whenever a knot goes awry.
And as your macrame masterpiece takes shape, imagine it as a symbol of holiday cheer that even the Grinch would begrudgingly approve.
And then, as the credits roll you can proudly hang your new Christmas tree on your tree, a testament to your crafty triumph in the face of Grinchy adversity!

Macrame Santa Gnome
Turn your holiday crafting session into a festive fiesta by creating a macrame Santa gnome ornament for your Christmas tree while watching the enchanting "Christmas Chronicles."
Armed with red and white macrame cord, channel the mischievous spirit of the elves and the magic of the holidays to craft a gnome that embodies the whimsy of the film.
As you knot the cord, envision your macrame gnome taking on a life of its own, mirroring the playful antics of Santa's little helpers on screen.
Let the rhythmic knotting become a dance to the cheerful tunes of the movie's soundtrack. Take snack breaks featuring cookies and milk, just like the ones Santa enjoys on his midnight gift-giving escapades.
By the time Kurt Russell's Santa wraps up his magical journey, your macrame Santa gnome will be ready to join the holiday festivities. Hang it on the tree with a hearty dose of festive flair, and let it serve as a whimsical reminder of the joyous crafting session you had in the company of the Christmas Chronicles crew.

Christmas Wreath Ornament
Set the stage for a jolly holiday crafting extravaganza as you watch "A Christmas Carol" and embark on the whimsical journey of creating a macrame wreath ornament for your tree. Imagine yourself as the Ghost of Christmas Crafts, weaving a festive masterpiece while Scrooge learns the true meaning of Christmas on the screen.
Grab your sparkly, Christmas-colored macrame cords and a wreath frame, ready to transform your living room into a festive workshop.
Channel your inner Tiny Tim, cheerfully knotting away and spreading holiday joy through every twist and turn of your macrame wreath.
Take breaks to enjoy some holiday treats—maybe even some Cratchit-inspired pudding or Bob's famous goose leftovers. With each knot, let the festive tunes of carolers and the clinking of chains from Marley's ghost inspire your creativity.
By the end of the movie, you'll not only have experienced the heartwarming tale of Scrooge's redemption but also crafted a wreath that would make even the Ghost of Christmas Present do a little jig.
Hang it on your tree with pride, a testament to the joyous fusion of Christmas magic and crafty merriment.

Christmas Star Ornament
Get ready for a festive fusion of crafting and chaos as you dive into the world of "Home Alone" while whipping up a macrame star ornament for your Christmas tree.
Imagine your living room as the ultimate crafting battleground, with Kevin's pranks providing the perfect backdrop for your creative escapades. Armed with macrame cord and a sprinkle of McCallister mischief, let the holiday hijinks commence!
As you weave the macrame cords into a star, channel your inner Kevin McCallister and add a touch of cheeky flair to your creation paying homage to Kevin's resourcefulness.
Take snack breaks featuring strategically placed cheese pizzas and keep an eye out for any unexpected visitors (hopefully not the Wet Bandits) while crafting your star.
By the time the booby traps reach their peak on screen, you'll have crafted a star ornament that not only captures the essence of holiday fun but also stands as a testament to your own crafty ingenuity.
Hang it on the tree with a mischievous grin, and let your macrame star shine as brightly as Kevin's pranks.

Christmas Angel Ornament
A Christmas Angel pairs with only one movie: It’s a Wonderful Life! You’ll embark on an angelic adventure of crafting while diving into the heartwarming world of Bedford Falls.
Get ready for a dose of holiday cheer as you weave the spirit of George Bailey into your macrame masterpiece. Imagine your angel ornament as a whimsical sidekick to Clarence, the bumbling yet endearing guardian angel from the movie.
As you knot and twist your macrame angel into shape, let each knot be a reminder of the heartwarming moments on screen.
During the film's most iconic scenes, treat yourself to some popcorn or a warm beverage, and savor the magic of the season.
By the time George realizes the true value of his wonderful life, you'll have crafted a celestial companion that embodies the joy and magic of the holidays.
Hang your macrame angel on the tree with pride, knowing it's a whimsical reminder of the wonderful crafting adventure you embarked on with George and Clarence. (Ring-a-ling-a ding-dong-ding!)

In the spirit of "A Very Macrame Christmas," our crafting adventure has been a testament to the power of creativity, the joy of giving, and the enchantment of holiday traditions.
Each macrame ornament tells a story—a story of determination against Grinchy odds, a fun adventure to meet Santa, a jolly journey with the Ghost of Christmas Crafts, a mischievous collaboration with Kevin McCallister, and an angelic adventure with George and Clarence.
As we proudly hang our macrame creations on the Christmas tree, let them serve as more than mere ornaments.
They are symbols of the joy, laughter, and crafty triumphs that make this season truly special. The intricacy of each knot reflects the care we put into our creations, mirroring the care we share with our loved ones during this festive time.
So, whether you find yourself admiring the Grinch-inspired tree - with a Santa hiding around the corner, the wreath adorned with Dickensian delight, the star shining with McCallister mischief, or the celestial companion from Bedford Falls, remember that these macrame ornaments are not just decorations—they are the threads that weave us together in the magical tapestry of a Very Macrame Christmas.
May your holiday season be filled with warmth, creativity, and the joy of handmade treasures. Merry Christmas, and may the spirit of macrame crafting continue to brighten your festive seasons for years to come!
