This cute little macrame heart shaped keychain was born out of an idea inspired by the Year 4 students I teach in Mill Hill, London. In the new year I was showing my class some of my new creations that I made over the Christmas holidays (honestly the best time I’m ever having with macrame when I CREATE!) and it was a little Candy Cane decoration that caught their eye. Whilst showcasing two in my hand at one time, a student said that putting them together makes them look a little bit like a heart.
Funnily enough, that is exactly what I did. I reworked my candy cane design until it turned into the little heart shaped keychain which just felt very seasonal to share with you this time of year around valentines day.
