Decide the number of layers and the size for the macramé rainbow.  Cut out ropes for the macramé rainbow layers. I’m crafting a 3 layered macramé rainbow.

Select a yarn and grab a rope to get started. Leave an inch of the rope intact and then tie the yarn strand around the rope and tie a tight knot.

Align the short end of the tied yarn with the rope and the wrap the yarn around the rope neatly.

Continue to wrap the yarn around the rope until reaching the other end, keep in mind to leave 1 inch intact on that end as well. Keep 2 inches yarn on the end and cut off yarn from the bundle. Attach the tapestry needle through the open end of the yarn strand.

Draw the needle under the wrapped yarn and draw it out randomly by crossing 5 or 6 wraps.

Draw the needle out by pulling the full length of the strand. Cut off extra yarn if required. The yarn wrapping is now secured.

Similarly, wrap the other rope cut-outs with different colored yarns.

Cut out the rainbow base from felt fabric. The size of the base should be slightly smaller than the required macramé rainbow size.

Use hot glue gun to attach either the bottom or the top rainbow strand (rope).

One by one attach all 3 yarn wrapped ropes on the felt rainbow base.

You can keep the macramé rainbow simple or add some embellishments such as felt flowers or pompoms. Also attach a hanging mechanism on the backside of the rainbow. Cut out a small rope and form a loop with it. Attach the open ends of the rope on the top-backside of the macramé rainbow to complete the hanging mechanism.
