Using my dyed strings for a special present

I have a very special friend in Italy, Laura, and her birthday is this month.

Laura has been following and cheering for my blog idea since it came into my head many years ago!

I wanted to make something special for her and I know she loves macrame. So I thought I could experiment using my normal white cotton strings and some that I've just natural dyed in rooibos tea. I'm in love with the result!

Below before I started with my design.

The final result. I cannot wait to hear her reaction once she's received it.

What do you think?
