I have been looking for a project for about two years now where I could use the thick wool I had purchased and that wasn’t a chunky knit blanket that you see everywhere. Pieces that incorporated macrame yarn and thick wool intrigued me There is something special about the contrasting texture that is somewhat the same yet totally different. So a simple wool and yarn macrame wreath sounded like a good place to start.

So many of us have these types of black metal mesh patio tables which are rather boring. I didn’t want to use spray paint again to breathe new life into it this time. Instead, I decided to use synthetic yarn for this metal patio table makeover to turn it into a unique and beautiful outdoor accent piece for our outdoor space.
Yes, this table had definitely seen better days! The best thing is that the macrame makeover also hides the rust areas!
