    Macramé may be best known for its bohemian run in the '60s and '70s, but the textile art form of knotting and hitching is believed to have originated in the 13th century and was all the rage in the Victorian era.

    It makes sense that the fringed trend found a second wind in the age of hippie and grunge culture, likely contributing to its polarizing reputation (you either love it or hate it). But after a decades-long hiatus, the trendy textile is back in a big way on Pinterest. We've spotted macramé plant hangers, macramé wall hangings, macramé curtains, and more. If you're naturally crafty, some blogs have step-by-step instructions for making your own macramé—or you can find plenty of macramé products pre-made by artists on Etsy. Check out a few favorites below.
