Hello! Sorry I haven’t been on here for a long time! But, anyways now I’m gonna tell you ( as best as I can ) how to make a macramé bracelet.
The things you will need
· Hemp cord (or just string it will be a thinner bracelet)
· Scissors
· Clipboard and tape or wood and nail
· Beads
· And big bead( preferred but optional )
So first, get scissors and string and cut four 3ft pieces. At one end make loop and put under clip on clipboard otherwise put loop on nail. Next, find the two side strings and put them on side, find two middle strings and tape at bottom on clipboard/table or whatever your woodblock is on.
Ok, so for the knotting it will be very confusing to understand but doing is super easy. Pick a side not a string, and make a big loop making a C, placing on top of two middle strings. Take opposite sting and put on top of tail of loop, under two middle strings, and pull up through loop. Repeat doing this with same side not string, a spiral should appear.
When you want to put a bead, remove tape and put bead through middle stings. Putting wax may help, if still not working, just put one string through hole of bead. Do the same knots and just keep repeating til you want to put another bead. Do same process.
When you are done with your bracelet, tie a big bead with big hole through both middle strings and tie knot, any type. Now, when you wear the bracelet, put loop over big bead on other end and it should stay pretty secure.
Enjoy! Comment if you still don’t get it, otherwise just look up a video.
