The results of the activity showed that the participants were able to understand the basic knotting techniques and independently produce flower pot hanger crafts. Based on the evaluation results, approximately 95% of participants successfully made flower pot hangers using macramé cotton rope and fabric rope properly. The implementation of the Peer Assisted Learning (PAL) method helped accelerate the transfer of knowledge and skills to participants through direct mentoring during the practice sessions. In addition to improving participants’ creativity and skills, this activity also increased awareness of the potential development of handicrafts as a household creative economy business opportunity.]]>
