The foundation of so many beautiful macrame pieces! These are the wooden elements I reach for constantly - from sturdy dowel rods that hold weight beautifully to those perfect wooden O-rings that add such a polished touch. I've tested plenty of wooden beads and findings over the past year, and these are the ones that consistently deliver on quality without breaking the budget. Whether you're creating wall hangings, plant hangers, or getting into jewelry-style macrame, having reliable wooden components makes all the difference.

Quality hardware can make or break any handmade piece, whether you're crafting for customers or creating for yourself. This collection includes all the metal findings I rely on for my macrame handbags, clutches, and keychains - from budget-friendly clasps that still look professional to those splurge-worthy statement pieces in different finishes. I've done the trial-and-error testing through hundreds of projects, and these are the ones that hold up beautifully and give that polished, finished look every maker wants.

These are my secret weapons for cleaner finishes and easier processes. That non-toxic fabric glue has saved me countless hours, and those mini rubber bands are perfect for my favorite macrame hacks that I share with my community. From the macrame board that keeps projects organized to the small easel that's perfect for detailed work, these tools solve the little problems that can make or break a project.

Every macrame artist has their go-to bead collection, and this is mine! I've curated wooden beads in the sizes I use most, plus letter beads in different materials and colors that add that personalized touch everyone loves. These are the exact beads you'll see in my finished pieces - tested for quality and chosen because they work beautifully with macrame cord while staying budget-friendly for any project.

Quality cord is everything in macrame, and I've spent a lot of time finding the best options at different price points. This includes my own Etsy listings for Bobbiny and Ganxxet cord (available in full skeins or custom lengths), plus other reliable bulk sources I trust. Whether you're just starting out, working on personal projects, or stocking up for multiple creations, I've included options that won't leave you frustrated with fraying or inconsistent thickness.

Running a handmade business from a small space means every supply choice matters. These are the behind-the-scenes essentials that keep my macrame business running smoothly - from the printer that handles everything from shipping labels to business cards, to the organizational tools that help me stay on top of inventory in my tiny apartment setup. Real solutions for real small business challenges.

The little touches that make Etsy orders feel special! After shipping hundreds of packages, I've found the thank you cards that feel personal without breaking the bank, stickers that customers actually keep, and packaging that protects handmade items while staying budget-friendly. These extras help build the kind of customer relationships that lead to repeat buyers and five-star reviews.

Taking your handmade business to in-person events is exciting but requires the right setup. These are the display solutions and practical items that have worked for me at markets - from pegboard systems that maximize vertical space to the money box that keeps transactions simple. Everything here has been tested at real craft shows and proven to make the day run smoother.

Life with two rescue huskies and a diabetic Doberman/Golden mix has taught me which products actually work for multi-dog households. From quick Halloween costumes that fit different sized dogs to bathing tools that make tub time manageable, plus the gates and e-collars that keep everyone safe and happy. Most of these work great for any dog parent, with a few specific finds for managing special needs.

Keeping a house clean with two shedding huskies requires the right strategy and tools. My favorite pet-friendly cleaning formula has a light, fresh scent that doesn't overwhelm sensitive noses, and I've found storage solutions that work in small spaces. These are the vacuum recommendations, hair removal tools, and cleaning supplies that actually make a difference when you're dealing with dog hair on everything.

My own macrame creations mixed with carefully chosen pieces that complement the cozy, boho vibe I love. This collection includes my handmade wall hangings and plant hangers alongside furniture and decor in those perfect warm tones - wood, rattan, gold, and soft neutrals. Everything here works together to create that lived-in, artistic feel that makes a house feel like home.

When your entire business operates from a small apartment, organization isn't just nice to have - it's essential. These storage solutions have helped me keep hardware, tags, tools, and inventory accessible without taking over my living space. Compartmentalized storage that actually works for small supplies, plus the systems that keep everything findable when you're working in tight quarters.

My personal lineup for managing fine, curly hair (3B to 3C depending on humidity) and maintaining healthy skin. These products have consistently worked for me through different seasons and stress levels. From acne prevention that doesn't dry out my skin to the moisturizing serums that actually absorb, plus the curl-specific products that work whether my hair is feeling more 3B or 3C that week.

This is where you'll find all my current Etsy offerings! From the wall hangings that started my business to the handbags and clutches that have become customer favorites, plus plant hangers, coasters, and keychains. Each piece is made with the same quality materials I recommend in my supply lists, and designed with that boho aesthetic I can't get enough of.

For makers who want to create their own pieces! My digital patterns include detailed instructions based on what I've learned through hundreds of completed projects, and the DIY kits come with everything you need to get started. These are perfect for beginners who want clear guidance, experienced crafters looking to try new techniques, or anyone wanting to create beautiful macrame pieces as gifts.

My Etsy shop's supply section - everything from my cord offerings in custom lengths to beginner supply kits that take the guesswork out of getting started. These are the same materials I use in my own work, curated for quality and packaged for convenience. Great for restocking your supplies, diving into fiber arts for the first time, or finding everything you need for your next creative project.

Who says you can't find amazing stuff at Walmart? As someone managing a small business, three dogs, and a boho home aesthetic all on a realistic budget, I've become pretty skilled at spotting the gems among the everyday items. This collection covers everything from dog essentials that actually hold up to my two huskies and diabetic pup, to home decor pieces that look way more expensive than they are. I've organized it into sections so you can easily find what you're looking for, but honestly, some of my best discoveries have been happy accidents while wandering the aisles.
