2 macrame skeletons with beads for their heads

Step 1

Cut 2 lengths of macrame cord to be 50cm each. Take one of the strands of cord and fold it in half. Push the cord through the hole in the wooden bead. If you are struggling use something to help you push the cord through. I used a plastic sewing needle and it worked a treat.
