| I made this macrame skeleton a gazillion years ago. I just "found" him in a box I pulled out of storage. And he is now proudly hanging on my front door.
I DO NOT HAVE DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO MAKE HIM. It was macrame. Thick nylon cord, a large metal ring for the head, a dowel and some large wooden beads for shoulders, a popsicle stick and large wooden beads for the pelvis, and lots of creative knotting and braiding. I could post more close up pictures of each body part if people wanted to attempt this on their own. But it's been so long since I've done macrame, I don't think I could even tie a square knot any more.

| He's gorgeous! I would love to make one, but I don't think my fingers and hands could handle all that knotting. I'll bet if we google it we can find a pattern, tho! You did nice work! Tami |

| The pattern is in a booklet called 'Macrame Guys and Gals', I think it's book 2, but I found this on Flickr- With the above good photos and this page of instructions, someone should be able to make one. |
