    This document provides instructions for measuring cords for macrame projects. It explains how to determine the number of cords needed, their lengths, and the total material amount. It includes conversions between inches, centimeters, millimeters, feet, yards, and meters. It outlines 6 steps for determining cord widths: 1) finished width, 2) material size, 3) number of cords, 4) ring sizes, 5) mounting technique, 6) primary cords. The number of cords per inch depends on the material size and whether they will be folded during mounting.

    •THE CORD MEASUREMENTS YOU MAKE FOR


    MACRAME INCLUDE DETERMINING THE NUMBER OF
    CORDS YOU NEED, THEIR LENGTHS, AND THE TOTAL
    AMOUNT OF MATERIAL TO PURCHASE FOR YOUR
    PROJECT.
    ACTIVITY 1 CONVERT ME!
    MATCH COLUMN A WITH COLUMN B. WRITE YOUR ANSWER ON YOUR NOTEBOOK.

    A B.
    1.1 INCH=________CM A. 1 YARD
    2.12 INCHES=________FT B. 25.4 MM
    3.1 YARD=__________FT C. 2.54 CM
    4.36 INCHES= ________YARD D. 3FT
    5.1 INCH= ________MM E. 1FT
    MATH CONVERSIONS
    •HERE ARE SOME BASIC MATH CONVERSIONS YOU CAN USE FOR
    CORD MEASUREMENTS, AND TO UNDERSTAND THE PATTERNS ON
    THIS SITE:
    •1 INCH = 2.54 CENTIMETERS
    •1 INCH = 25.4 MILLIMETERS
    •6MM MATERIAL= APPROXIMATELY ¼ INCH (0.24 INCHES)
    •12 INCHES = 1 FOOT
    •3 FEET = 1YARD
    •36 INCHES= 1 YARD
    •1 YARD= 0.9 METERS (OFTEN CONSIDERED THE SAME SIZE)
    •CIRCUMFERENCE OF RING= 3.14 X THE DIAMETER (ACROSS THE
    CENTER)
    CORD MEASUREMENTS FOR WIDTH
    •THE INFORMATION BELOW DESCRIBES THE PROCESS YOU MUST
    FOLLOW IN DETERMINING THE WIDTH OF YOUR PROJECT WHEN IT’S
    FINISHED.
    •THE CORD MEASUREMENTS AND DETAILS YOU GET IN STEPS 1-6
    WILL DETERMINE THE NUMBER OF CORDS TO CUT FOR YOUR
    PROJECT
    STEP 1
    DETERMINE THE FINISHED WIDTH
    -YOU MUST START BY CALCULATING THE FINISHED
    WIDTH (SIDE TO SIDE) YOU ARE AIMING FOR, IN THE
    WIDEST AREA
    STEP 2
    MATERIAL SIZE
    -YOU MUST KNOW THE ACTUAL SIZE OF THE CORD MATERIAL IN MILLIMETERS,
    WHICH IS THE WIDTH FROM EDGE TO EDGE
    -YOU SHOULD ALWAYS MEASURE THE MATERIAL BEFORE USING IT, SINCE LABEL
    CAN BE INACCURATE
    - WHEN MAKING CHANGES TO A PATTERN BY USING A DIFFERENT SIZE MATERIAL,
    THE FINISHED WIDTH WILL INCREASE OR DECREASE
    STEP 3

    NUMBER OF CORDS
    -YOU MAY NEED TO CHANGE THE NUMBER OF CORDS, OR
    THE OVERALL DESIGN, TO KEEP THE SIZE THE SAME AS THE
    ORIGINAL PATTERN
    STEP 4
    DETERMINING RING SIZES
    - YOU NEEDTO KNOW THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE RINGS YOU PLAN
    TO USE FOR THE DESIGN, IN ORDER TO MAKE THESE CORD
    MEASUREMENTS AS ACCURATE AS POSSIBLE
    -CIRCUMFERENCE = TOTAL AREA OF THE ENTIRE RING (IN INCHES)
    -DIAMETER = MEASUREMENT FROM EDGE TO EDGE (IN INCHES)
    STEP 5

    •DETERMINE MOUNTING TECHNIQUE


    STEP 6

    PRIMARY CORDS
    -THE PRIMARY CORDS ARE THE ONES THAT MAKE UP THE
    MAJORITY DESIGN
    STEP 6A

    MULTIPLY THE FINISHED WIDTH (FROM STEP


    1) BY THE NUMBER OF CORDS SHOWN IN
    THE TABLE BELOW:
    THE QUANTITY DEPENDS WHETHER THEY ARE FOLDED

    Size of Material Folded Not Folded

    6mm 2 cords per inch 4 cords per inch


    4mm 3 cords per inch 6 cords per inch
    3mm 4 cords per inch 8 cords per inch
    2mm 6 cords per inch 12 cords per inch
    1mm 12 cords per inch 24 cords per inch
    EXAMPLE
    •FINISHED WIDTH-10 INCHES
    •FOR 6MM MATERIAL, YOU CHOOSE 2 CORDS PER
    INCH(FOLDED), SINCE YOU WANT TO FOLD THE CORDS
    DURING THE MOUNTING PROCESS
    •MULTIPLY 10 X 2 = 20 CORDS
