Belíssimo
This Cat pattern has come out Really Very nice ❤. Thanks a Lot !!.Can you show how to Pixel Macrame a Boxer in front view? I would Like it very much❤😊.
This is so cute!! I'm curious - it seems like sometimes you use yarn for the outer part (colored) part of the design and it looks like you used all macrame cord for this one. Do you have a specific reason for using yarn vs. macrame cord for some of the projects? Thanks so much!
Please please please make a tutorial for peacock... Just love your work!!!
💙 oooo a peacock would be beautiful
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

So great! I have a Cornish Rex and love this! What kind of board is that you are working on?
💙 I’m so happy you love it! Is a Cornish Rex the breed that’s hairless or is it the one with the really large ears?
It’s a macrame board! I found mine on Amazon, here is the link to the exact one I have. In my video’s I use the backside of it so you don’t see all the measurements but when I’m not filming I use the other side too

Hola como puedo conseguir el patrón, hermoso trabajo, saludos desde Argentina.
Are you adding a new black strand in every new row that requires black? Or are you using the same black strand everywhere until it runs out?
💙 The same black strand until it runs out
This looks awesome! Thank you! But now I want to know what the professional way is? 😂
💙🐈 Glad you like it! …and about the professional way…is that a request? 😜
@@SimplyInspiredbySheena Lol yup.
Hi i like ur oll videos and i m also❤trying and the result is awesome❤I request u to plzzz make a pregnant lady Typstry aur a newely mom with kid ur way of teaching is very helpful for making any portrait
Love it! How do you do the professional finish to the back? I think this way looks pretty good, and like you said no one will see it anyway.
💙 Yay! I’m happy you love it! The short answer on how to finish off the wall hanging more professionally is add a backing…but it’s a little more complex than that. I can totally do a tutorial if you are interested
@@SimplyInspiredbySheena yes please. I'm loving these pixel art wall hangings. I think I'll make the cat for my daughters bday.
Can you do a pixel macrame in a round frame
A Buddha A peace sign. A paw print.
What app do you use for the designs
How can I professional remove mass behind to look pretty? 🥰🥰🥰
Should make a scream pattern
Would using 3 strand rope make much a difference? Love this design🤩
💙 Depends on the manufacturer. In my experience I’ve noticed 3 strand to be a stronger more dense rope, the added bulkiness and texture makes it more difficult to work with for pixel macrame…however it’s totally fine for the filler cords (which I’ve used in other pixel tutorials of mine). It’s just the working cords for the actual design tends to be too busy looking whereas single strand/yarn/t-shirt yarn have a more flexible texture to wrap around the filler cords
(Hope that makes sense)
My suggestion is to give it a try on a smaller sample piece and see how you feel. Some 3 strand cottons are really soft, my supplier isn’t so it’s whatever works best for you 🤗💙
@@SimplyInspiredbySheena thank you! 😀
Thank you so much for posting this! Do you make your own patterns? I would love a raccoon pattern! 😍
💙 Yes I do make my own patterns 😄 and I can totally do a raccoon wall hanging! I’ll add it to my list of requests. Thanks for watching 💙
That would be so awesome! How do you make them?
@@megkmccain 💙 I hand draw them out using an app. Here is a link to my tutorial where I walk you through exactly how I do it from start to finish 🤗 ua-cam.com/video/UoxEH31C9Y0/v-deo.html
Could you please do a cow pattern.
Hello. Love your tutorial. I have a picture of a ram I'd like to do. I can't get it into a pattern. Can you please help. I have a picture of the ram I'd like.🐏
Hola podria ser en castellano de chile gracias❤
I love your work and I have followed you for a long time. I'm hoping you can help me. I am having a hard time scaling my pieces down. I've just been sketching them on graph paper but my grid is so small my pieces come out really big. What is the easiest way to do these? Thank you so much.
💙 figuring out the size of a pixel is tricky…there’s a couple options
The first option is to take an existing grid pattern and instead of using all rope and tying your knots around two cords, use yarn and tie your knots around 1 cord. It’s the same amount of work but your final product will be smaller
The second option is unfortunately redesigning and a bit of trail and error…so for example what I do is take a dowel that is already the width I prefer, attach my larks head knots on there and that will determine how many squares I need for the width of my pattern. Because I’ve done this often I already know that for a 12 inch wooden dowel I can comfortably fit 22 larks head knots, which means when I design a pattern the grid can either be 22 squares across (if I’m tying my knots around 2 cords) or 44 squares across (if I’m tying around 1 cord). Then I design my pattern to fit those parameters
I hope that helps 🤗
Thank you! @@SimplyInspiredbySheena

La cuerda negra cuento mide de largo para que te alcance todo el trabajo por favor
Hi, I cant find any tutorials that explain how to fasten down the dowel that you're working on, what is that mat and those pins? Some people hang it from butchers hooks but don't explain what the hooks are hanging from , I'm very confused at the very first step! Thank you
💙 I work mostly off of a macrame board and use T-pins, which is what’s shown in this video (you can find these items on Amazon)
The other way I like to work off of is a rolling rack meant for clothing (I buy mine from Walmart) and S-hooks which can either be found at your local hardware store or if you’re lucky can be found at the dollar store, which is where I buy mine
Hope that helps 🤗
Can you do a manatee and a sea turtle?
Do you have any tutorials for horse designs?
💙 Hello, unfortunately no horse designs BUT I do have a unicorn. If you just omit the horn that might work for you. Here’s the link ua-cam.com/video/T32pGBXOztQ/v-deo.html However, I can totally add a horse to my list of requests
This is great and exactly what I was looking for! Do to happen to have a pdf of the pattern?
💙 Yay! Nope, no written pattern or PDFs at this moment, eventually I’ll have one at some point
Could you do a sloth?
💙 You’re in luck! I already have a tutorial of a sloth 😄 Here’s the link: ua-cam.com/video/VcqwGoI8jlU/v-deo.html
La las cuerdas negras que usa de cuantos centimetros son y las blancas que agrega de cuantos centimetros son vi que para empezar usa 22 de 152cm me gustaria saber el largo de las otras cuerdas para realizarlo muchas gracias me encanta su trabajo❤
estoy como vos, ya puse las 22 y no tengo idea de cuantos cm poner las otras. Lástima que nunca te contestó.
Hola, seguí buscando y encontré este video, que hace lo mismo, deja el rollo entero y es mucho más facil hacer ese nudo. Espero que veas el mensaje y te sea de utilidad. Saludos desde Uruguay. ua-cam.com/video/YQqukBvLGIU/v-deo.html
I am finding it hard to find 3.35 mm cord. Do you have a source?
💙 Yes, I buy mine from RopeShop.ca but you can use 4mm from another company if that’s easier or makes more sense for you
My cat is coming out a little chunky, not sure what I am doing wrong 😅
💙 haha chunky is cute! However if that’s not the look you were going for pay attention to your tension and the shape of your vertical double half hitch knots.
Each square on the grid represents a VDHH knot which means you want each knot you tie to be square. If your tension is too tight your knots will be more squat than square resulting in a more squat/chunky image…and if your tension is too loose your knots will be long and the image will be more stretched or leaner looking
Hope that helps 🤗
Can you make a gnome?
💙 I sure can! I already have a Christmas gnome if that is the kind of gnome you are referring to. Here’s the link 🤗 ua-cam.com/video/CM80vbSZGwo/v-deo.html
Hi, I am interested in making some of these but I want to do a few in Curse words, do you have any idea on how to find a pattern?
💙 I have one grid pattern for the F-💣 that you can find for free on my instagram. You can find it on my “Patterns” highlight reel at the top of my account. ALSO, the flowers I used in that F-💣 wall hanging is my “Forget-me-not” pattern here on UA-cam if you would also like to make a flower vine at the top of your curse word too 😆
Here is the link to my instagram:

Omg ok I’m going to go look! Thank you girl
@@Helenurr 💙 No problem! 🤗 It’s a fun one to make, I sell out of them every time I make a batch
@@SimplyInspiredbySheena How do you make the grids? I’m so interested. I just started to sell in a Store and they want the curse words one so I’ve been searching.
@@Helenurr 💙 Most of my grids I hand draw using an app called PixelArt. I know it works with iOS but I’m not sure if it does on android. It was a free app when I got it years ago, not sure if it’s still free. BUT I do have a tutorial on EXACTLY how I create my patterns. Here’s a link to that video: ua-cam.com/video/UoxEH31C9Y0/v-deo.html
There is a secondary way I create my grids. It’s for more complex patterns. I use a free website called pixel-stitch. You upload an image and it converts it into a grid for you. Here’s the link to that website: www.pixel-stitch.net/
Whrre can i get the pixel pattern?
💙 grid pattern can be found near the start of the video. You can take a screenshot OR you can find several other grid patterns of mine over on instagram, look under my Pattern highlight reel tab
How do we know we need 22 cords
💙 22 is the number of squares across the width of my grid pattern 😊
