One of America's most popular crafts, macramé has been part of the national scene since early sailors first tied ornamental knots in rope. Macramé's ease of execution and wide range of practical uses have expanded the many decorative applications of this ancient skill. Now, this delightful and versatile handicraft has finally found its way into the dollhouse.

Covering every aspect of macramé including preparation, mounting, knotting, and finishing, Marjorie Ames has carefully selected all the items you'll need to furnish every room of your dollhouse and the backyard as well. Each of the specially designed pieces conforms to the 1" to 1' scale of miniaturists and is made from easily obtainable materials with a minimum of household tools. All the designs are inexpensive and easy to make, even if you've never done any macramé before. Unlike larger, full-size projects, these Lilliputian versions take very little time to complete.

Clear, step-by-step instructions and illustrations for each project include a complete list of color, type, size and amount of cord - as well as supplementary items such as beads, dowels, rings, glue and hardware. Substitute colors as you see fit and create any of these attractive miniatures:

Window Curtain, Welcome Mat, Tiffany Lamp Shade, 3-Panelled Screen, Chair Cushion, Swing Chair, Plant Hanger, Fireplace Screen, Pillow Sham, Shower Curtain, Various Rugs, Hammock and Basketball Net

... and much, much more. 36 projects in all, nearly everything that any doll would need for her home is contained within these pages.
