Tutorial: Macrame some straps for a tube top

The other day I was at the mall and sew some maxi dresses with the most beautiful pieced skirts. Except they had tube top bodices, and I don’t wear tube tops. The next day I saw this tutorial by Hanna from Pearls & Scissors showing how to add macrame straps to a tube top. The macrame is made from strips of knit fabric. She was able to match the color to the top, but this could also be fun out of contrasting fabric.
