Step by Step: How to Cover Bottles With Fine Macramé

by David George Hill

This remarkable book will show you step by step how to cover bottles with fine macramé/sailor's knots. Detailed text and photographs make the work very clear from start to finish. Because historically there has been such a complete lack of information on how this work is accomplished, I compiled over 45 years (since 1968) of secrets and techniques that, by necessity, I had to develop myself. The reason sailor's covered their rum bottles with macramé/sailor's knots is that if they dropped the bottle onto the hard deck of the ship they would be less likely to break. As it turns out, they also are very beautiful works of art in their own right. I hope this work brings you as much joy as it has to me all these years.
