Built around how home decor makers actually work
- 1
Hours are the material
A large wall hanging is two hours of knotting around five dollars of cord. Labor in the recipe is the difference between a priced piece and a donated evening.
- 2
Cord by the spool, used by the foot
A kilo spool becomes wall hangings, plant hangers and keychains. Footage tracking splits the spool honestly across everything it makes.
- 3
Custom sizes, custom quotes
The six-foot commission over someone's headboard needs a price today. Size-scaled recipes — cord, dowel, hours — quote large customs from small certainties.
- 4
Big pieces anchor, small pieces sell
Statement pieces draw the eye; plant hangers pay the booth fee. Profit per piece and per hour across the range shows the mix that makes a market day work.

Questions home decor makers ask
How do I price macramé and fiber wall art?
Cord, dowel and packaging are the easy part; the knotting hours are the real cost. Price from materials plus honest labor plus margin, and the $65 wall hanging becomes defensible math instead of a nervous guess.
How do I track cord and rope usage?
By the foot: each design's recipe draws its footage from the spool, so remaining cord is always real. You'll know whether the spool covers the weekend's orders before you cut the first length.
How should I quote custom-size decor commissions?
Scale a known recipe — cord and hours grow with the dimensions. A quote grounded in a proven smaller piece survives the build; a vibes quote on a six-foot custom rarely does.
Which home decor pieces should I make more of?
The ones that earn per hour, not just per sale. A $20 plant hanger at 40 minutes can out-earn a $65 statement at two hours — per-hour profit across the catalog makes the production plan obvious.
Can I track dyed and natural versions of the same piece?
Yes — colorways are variations, with the dyed version carrying its dye cost and extra time. Each version's true margin decides whether the color premium is priced right.
