In the mood for some comic relief? I found these hilarious macrame disasters or “failures. We don’t all make perfect macrame knots each time. I’m really not sure what the crafter was going for with this mask? It looks like perhaps they were initially thinking along the lines of a Spartan headpiece perhaps? Somehow this came out more like a distant cousin of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre…
You can find this and other crafty failures at regretsy. I think I’m going to have to file this one under how not to macrame…

OMG – it’s Sutton Hoo all over again – this time in knots!
I think that is pretty darn awesome mask bet it would make great halloween mask for any silly custome !
for a minute I thought it was sir knight’s helmet
I’m the artist pictured wearing one of my masks. They came about because it is very hard to find masks to wear over glasses. I have been into macrame for many years, so this was an obvious choice to try. This one I call the Rasta Centurion. I have a few others out of cotton string that are similar, some even have horns!
Wow David, thanks so much for sharing! I’d love to see those horns!
I really LOVE this mask! It’s bizarre and cool at the same time. I would love to have the pattern!
hi Karen, absolutely, perhaps David (the artist wearing the mask) will share his macrame mask pattern with us!
That’s a gasser! my macrame students liked this1 (Jr Hi)
I didnt know kids were still being taught macrame in school, that is great!
