Thinking of an activity you can do when at home? Why not try textile art like macrame? There are some who think that it is only for the older people but actually it is not. It is not even just for women as men can do it too. It takes creativity and patience to create a masterpiece, but needless to say, after long working hours you will be very proud of yourself once you finish a project.
If you want to try macrame, one of the things you have to make sure of you have is a good macrame cord. The good news is, you do not need to go out of your house to buy your supply of this cord, as you can actually do your shopping online.
There are many online shops selling this type of cord, and finding the perfect shop to buy it from is not the easiest thing to do. If you are in the midst of finding the best online shop to pursue this hobby, below are some tips to consider when looking for a shop:
- Go to a shop that offers wide variety of colors
Sure, the more colors the shop offers the better it is for your project. You would definitely like to try out colorful macrame, hence buying different colors of cords is a must. Choose an online shop that will not limit your options to a very few, as that will limit your imagination and creativity as well.
Most of the time all their available colors are available on their website, but if not, you are free to call them for assistance.
- A shop that offers excellent shipping privileges
Shipping is a critical aspect in online shopping, so you have to make sure that the online shop gives its shoppers many great and exciting shipping privileges. You have to go for a shop that offers its buyers with free shipping or at least very minimal shipping fee. Of course, you would not like to pay a shipping fee that is actually more expensive than what you have ordered.
Also, you have to consider a shop that can deliver your item the soonest possible time. Waiting is not an option especially if you are very excited trying out the project. To assess the time of the delivery, you can measure it through the location of the shop, the day when you want it delivered and the availability of the colors of cords you choose.
- Cheap options
Although this cord is not as expensive, you would still go for a shop that offers cheaper options. The cheaper their cords are, the better. But needless to say, the cheaper prices of their cords should not in anyway affect its quality because if it does, you might end up spending more than saving money.
Go for cheaper options but make sure you are still considering the quality of the cord you will purchase.
- Offers not just cords
You are buying cords yes, but a shop that offers not just cords is a good idea. The more options, apart from the cord, the shop offers, the better and more recommended it is for you. Buying in a one stop shop is indeed the best option.
- Offers many payment options
Having a few payment options is not a good idea at all. Sure, there are payment options you trust and there are some that you never want to dare to try using. Go for a shop that can let you use the payment option that you are most comfortable using.
