Macrame Lawn Chairs Made With Custom Colors, Logos
"We can use any logo or design that you want," says Roger. "We make them Deere green, Ford blue, Cat yellow, Massey-Ferguson red, and so on. The col-ors are as close to authentic as possible. We also do a lot of chairs with sports team logos and colors.
"We buy macrame cord made from pre-woven polypropylene thread and weave it into the frame of the aluminum chair. The chairs are 24 in. wide and 30 in. high at the back. They're stronger than conventional lawn chairs because they're specially made without any punched holes in the sides where conventional webbing is attached. We wind the cord around the frames and use a cigarette lighter to fuse the ends of the cords together."
The chairs sell for $50 to $90 depending on the intricacy of the design and number of colors.
