🌈 Everyday Ways to Use Macrame Accessories
When most people think of macrame they picture big wall hangings or boho plant holders. But here at A Branch & Cord, we’ve always believed macrame can be so much more.
I love creating pieces that don’t just look beautiful — they work hard, too. Whether it’s keeping your phone within reach, your space smelling amazing, or adding a pop of color to your day, our macrame accessories are designed to fit right into real life (messy mom moments and all).
Here are a few of my favorite everyday ways to use them:
✨ Wristlets: The Small-But-Mighty Hero
If you’ve ever juggled kids, coffee, and car keys all at once, you know why I never leave home without my wristlet. It clips onto your keys or phone patch and slips comfortably around your wrist — leaving your hands free for everything else. I use mine for errands, school pick-up, and pretty much every Target run.
💛 Lanyards: Not Just for Work Badges
Lanyards are one of those secretly versatile accessories. Teachers love them, but so do parents, students, and anyone who needs to keep essentials close. I use mine with a phone patch during busy days or vendor events when I need my phone handy for photos or checkout. Bonus: they make even the most practical outfit feel a little more colorful.
🌿 Rainbow Diffusers: A Little Color, A Little Calm
Our rainbow diffusers are small but mighty mood-lifters. Just add a few drops of essential oil to the wooden bead, and they’ll gently diffuse scent throughout your space — no plug or outlet required. I keep one hanging in my car and another near my desk; it’s an instant pick-me-up on busy days. Each one is handmade and full of color, so it’s both a functional piece and a cheerful reminder to take a deep breath.
🎁 Bookmarks, Charms & More
Macrame doesn’t stop at accessories — it can find its way into your reading nook, workspace, or holiday décor too. Our bookmarks and small charms are perfect for adding texture and joy to even the quietest moments of your day.
🌈 Functional Macrame — The A Branch & Cord Way
At the heart of everything we make is the idea of functional macrame — pieces that blend art, purpose, and personality. Every knot is a small celebration of color and craftsmanship, meant to bring a little joy to your every day.
No matter how you use them, our accessories are here to make your daily routine brighter, simpler, and a lot more you.
