1. Creating wall art using Styrofoam balls. (196) This Macrame Wall ArtDIY is so easy, you'll be doing it in no time! - YouTube
You can use liquid starch as a stiffener as an
alternative. The stiffener isn’t
absolutely necessary, but it apparently does make things easier and keeps the
individual strings hanging straighter and prevent them from tangling so much
(from the research that I’ve done). If
you are just making one, you can use a ring, like the pictured steps below.
When you finished your first gather wraps, you can add the
Styrofoam ball.
2. I found the
artist for the fantasy floral wrapping involving pompoms, I mentioned at the
Zoom Gather and Stitch. I kept on searching and finally found a pin that
credited the maker. It is also created by Mandi Smethells. (Admission: I hadn’t
viewed all her posts – I’d looked at her reels for technique ideas that she
generously shares, but hadn’t viewed all her stills)
Her Instagram is on
your Artist list. For anyone interested, we can discuss how something like this
can be created.

Interesting idea for wall art:
Use thicker rope and arrange it in a pleasing configuration. Use the gathering wrap in colours of your choice
to join it together where the rope touches. Unravel the ends and tie to
driftwood or a dowel. Simple, but
effective.
