Macrame jewelry
hello there macrame jewelry tutorial in this tutorial I’m going
to show you how to make a How to make macrame jewelry goddess
McCraney necklace so this is what mine
looks like here so yeah this really nice
curved effect it’s going to sit really
nicely on the neckline obviously this is
just the materials that I’ve used so a
nice silver color setting card and then
with these magenta colored hematite
gemstone beads and then micro macrame jewelry I’ve just
finished it off with a nice class to
make it nice and professional you could
also, use crabby to finish it off so
sliding not something whatever your
personal preference is then this is what
it looks like and it could be fun to
play around with the coloring for
instance of the beads maybe say the
smaller beads on top of one color and (macrame beaded jewelr)
then the larger ones on the bottom or
another color just to see what kind of
different effects that will get now also
this is the necklace I’ve already made
both a bracelet and a ring using the
goddess a creamy design here so you can
pretty much make a whole set now this is
in the necklace version so if you want
to learn how to make this then keep
watching so it’s these materials that
we’re going to need now I have my card
here and
I’m using a 1 millimeter
setting cord it’s nice gray silvery
color and then we’ll need the beads as
well so I have 2 different sizes here
they’re both regular rounds and I’m just
working with a color-coded hematite so
this kind of magenta color imitate the
first ones here the big ones these are 8
millimeter in the size and then here we
have six millimeter in the size so we
need these two to achieve the curved
effect to give to the necklace there so micro macrame jewelry patterns
you can always use whatever combination
you want of the cord and the beads so
let’s get it all together and then let’s
get started and then we’ll need some
links of cord to start working with and
what I have here first of all are two
lengths of my setting cord of about 80
centimeters each and these are going to
be for the holding cords so throughout
the whole necklace then also holding the
beads and then we’ll also need another
length of the same cord here and this
one is about 6 meters long now that’s
quite a bit obviously but it is a form
necklace that we’re making and macrame crystal necklace it’s
mainly this is going to be the working
cord it’s mainly because of the sides of
where the beads are on each side there
we’re making a lot of square knots so
it’s going to use a below the cord so
what I’ve done is taken the
short lengths of cord here that are
going to be the holding cords and attach
them on to my macrame board I’m just
using the notches there so the nice and
top because then we’re going to start by
making a long section of our square
knots using the working cord and what
I’ve done with that is we need to attach
a first of all but I’ve taken the ends
of my walking cord put them together so
that we can then find where the middle
is I have a little loop here keep hold
of that then we need to attach this
first of all like I said so I just take
one end while still keep off of the
middle put that underneath the two
holding cards and then pull that all the
way through and then I’m going to just
have the middle line underneath there
and then we basically need to start
making square not straight away that’s
how we attach it as well so I’m going to
take my left cord bring it over the two
holding cards like that then I’m going
to take my right when I’m just holding
on to this up here just for the very
first knot because obviously, this can
move around and I want to try and keep
the middle underneath there take the
right one over the left one on this side
underneath everything in the middle and
then up through the loop here and then
pull it all the way through then we need
to tighten this again without trying to
move the middle of the card too much
tighten this all the way up there and
that’s the first half of a square knot
but it’s also now the working cord it’s
attached to the holding cost there so to
finish off this square knot I’m going to
then take the call from the right side
so from the opposite side over the
holding cards bring the left one over
that and underneath everything in the
middle and then up through the loop and
then pull the cord all the way through
and now I don’t have to hold on up here
anymore cuz it’s already attached and
tighten this and then there you have
your full first square knot so you just
want to keep repeating this so again I’m
going back to the first card that are
used starting from the same
which was the left one that I started
with bring that over the holding cards
take the right one over that underneath
everything in the middle and up through
the loop and pull it all the way through
and tighten and again that was the first
half of the square knot now I just need
to finish off and make a full square
knot so I’m going to take the right cord
over the holding cards and the left one
over that underneath everything in the
middle and up through the loop and then
pull it fall all the way through and
then we can tighten it so there we now
have the second square knot so what you
just want to do now is keep repeating
this step till have a long section of
square knots now how long you make this
it’s really up to you because it’s going
to help determine how long the neck is
going to end up being so I’m going to
keep making this and then once we’ve
made the whole section that we need to
link that we need a square knots here
then we get to the beaded section so I
now made the whole length of my square
knots here until then reach where the
beaded section is going to be so this is
almost one half of the necklace now my
length here is 29 centimeters or about 9
inches of the length of square knots but
like I said you can make that longer or
shorter depending how long you want your
full necklace to be and obvious it’s
going to be the same length on the other
side of the beaded section as well so
now we need to start adding in the beads
so what we need to do is we have the two
holding cards here and as we need to add
the beads on to so on one side I’ve just
taken the right one that’s what I’ve
added all the large beads so all these
hair and what I’ve added is 15 of these
8 millimeter beads that I’m using so 15
of those all on the same card and then
of the 6 millimeter beads I’ve added 14
of those and the other one also all on
the same one so obviously you can see it
looks like one is shorter than the other
one but that’s what’s going to end up
giving that curved effect so this one’s
going to look like now so I’m just gonna
push these up because then we need to
start obviously wrapping around the
beads I also just want to do is just put
my cards into position because what I
like to do

| macrame crystal necklace |
macrame bracelet patterns
macrame necklace patterns is take the cold working card from one
side underneath the two holding cards so
underneath both of them here over to the macrame necklace tutorial
other side just all the way up there
this is just to get them into position
the same thing with the other one take
it underneath you’re holding cards and
obviously includes all your beats here
and then just over to the opposite side
so both are basically just crossing over
the back of the holding cards just like
that I just find it’s a better starting
point and we end up with a nicer result
just at the top there so now the cards
are ready to start wrapping around the
beads here so I’m just going to start
using one card at a time now you can
just separate your beads out just to simple macrame necklace patterns
make it the easier so you know exactly
where you got to go with your card so
all you want to do is you want to make
sure that it’s kind of one bead per one
bead on each side so just because the
side here with the smaller beads it
looks like a shorter because obviously
the things are smaller we’re still going
to act and wrap around as if we’re using
one B from each side at a time so for
instance if they were the same size
because then we’re going to fix the
whole curvature afterward so I’m going macrame books
 |
| macrame stone necklace |
to start with my right one I’m coming
behind the very first large bead there
and then I’m going to take it and wrap
around just below the large bead the
first one and then also below the first
of the small ones so crossing over to
the other side and coming down at an
angle it’s going to look a little
something like that and then pull it all macrame kit
the way over and then we need to come
underneath the holding cards again so
that means underneath all the beads
there so just bring it underneath the
two holding cards and the beads so it’s
coming on to that and then pull it so on
the back the crosses also an angle comes
back down a bit further on the other
side here again on the right side but
then we need to come out below the
second large bead there so basically the
back is going to looking like the front
ones we’re doing and
then to the next cross over and then
bring in my card over the front
underneath the next bead here that I’m
coming out of underneath and that’s the
second one from from the top in this
case and then underneath the second one
of the small beads as well like I said
we’re constant is taking one bead at a
time from each side and then we need to
go underneath the holding cards again
bring it all the way up make sure that
your card goes in between the right
beads there so you’ll be able to see now
starting to form more that we’re going
to have the card is coming at an angle
and the beads just separating out the
beads one at a time from each side the
next one come down below the next large
bead there the third one in this case
cross over the top of them below that
one and below the third one on the side
with the small beads and underneath the
holding cards again and pull it all the
way up and again cross back behind them
all so you come out ready under the next
large bead so in this case is the fourth
one easy want to keep doing this all the
way down like I said don’t worry about
the curvature yet this will go sort of
that after we’ve done both of the cards
here so just keep doing this all the way
down to the bottom and then it’s time to
do the other card as well so now kept
wrapping all the way around to the
bottom here and the card is coming out
over the top where I have the left large
bead but then there’s no bead of the
small ones there because remember we’ll
put one less of them to make it fit and
look nice with the necklace
once it’s done then what just going to
do is wrap around one more time to make
sure my card is coming out on the same
side that I started from which is on the
right one so just put it underneath the
two holding cards and then make sure it
comes up below that very last large bead
as if it was crossing over to do another
wrap if there was more beads so just
like that that’s this card done then so
just leave this there now if you’re
using a crammed abode like me you can
always just put this into a slot on the
side it holds it nice and in place so
it’s not going to come to loose rather
then working with the other one as well
so now to go back up to the top again
was
with that car, you see how we have the
other card left to do as well and that’s
coming from the left side so all we want
to do Betsy is the same thing which is
working in the opposite direction so
this is naturally coming wanting to
cross over the top and the front hair
what we’re just going to first of all
track the large beads large be the first
one in place and not capturing any of
this moments just yet so cross over the
top there or the front then take your
card back underneath the holding cards
and all the beads pull it all the way
through and then make sure when you pull
this tighter also you don’t want to pull
too tight when you’re wrapping around
here this is a nice even tension we want
it to make sure obviously you’re
capturing that just below the top very
first bead of the large ones and then
coming out below the first ones or the
small ones and then crossing over the
front again and now it’s basically just
the same macrame jewelry patterns before just mirrored
so this is going to capture below the
first of the small ones and then the
second one of the large ones there you
see that’s where you then get this six
AK effect over the front come back
underneath again pull it all the way
through and then up to the side just
like that and then we just keep doing
this and make sure you come below the
next of the small beads wrap across the
front and just keep going like this all
the way down to the bottom again
now then also reach the bottom with this
left cord that we’re working with all
the way we wrapping around just like I
said and then this is naturally coming
out to its own side again so just like
this so now we’re ready we have both the
cards into position then also track the
beads in place because obviously the
bottom ones especially is still loose so
just make sure you want to make sure to
capture this in place as well what I’m
going to do that is just make a square
knot below these button beads just using
the cords as they are so I’m going to
take my left one just going to start
with the same cord that I did previously
and then I’m going to take my right one
over that underneath the holding cause
everything
middle then up through the loop now the
first square knot is the most fitting
because like I said both the cord down
here the beads are still loose but just
kind of maneuver in place before you
then going and tighten your cards all
the way up underneath the very last bead
there and pull it nice and tight so
they’re now they’re all basically
trapped in place they’re not going to
keep moving around I’m just going to
make the other half of the square knot
to finish it off just like this so now I
know it’s nice and securely in place but
obviously this whole piece with the
beads is still straight so that’s what
we have to fix now so I made that first
square knot down here the other side of
the beads just to hold it on place but
then also I just want to make the one
and not keep making more because then it
might get too hard to do this next step
so to make this curvature gather into
the beads what I’m going to do is I’m
releasing my holding cards here now and
don’t worry it’s not going to come
undone because we made that square knot
that’s going to hold it in place
and then I’m going to hold on to them
and then we’ll basically need to start
pushing the beads together so it’s
especially the small ones because
obviously those are the ones that take a
lot less space in the large ones so I’m
going to do is keep hold it nicely and
then start pushing the beads together
just like this and also the square knot
there guess what I mean I only want to
make the one square knot ideally if I
make too many it might get too tight and
tough to push it up but making just the
one it holds it in place but we can then
still push it up over the holding cause
so you just want to push them together
until you’re then happy with a nice
curve that you get and it’s going to sit
nicely so end up looking something a bit
like that so just look at it keep
pushing until you feel that you can’t
really push any more but then also just
until you’re happy with how it looks and
the nice curvature that you didn’t get
because that’s what’s going to make it
so it sits nicely on the neckline so we
have the fun
side made with all the square knots then
we have the midsection here with the
beads and this sits nice and now I think
so I’m quite happy with that so all
that’s left to do now is just going to
flip this around because we obviously
need to make all the square knots on
this side as well to narrow the other
side so this can be a little bit hard to
say attached to your board if you’re
working on something else what you can
do then make it a little bit easier is
maybe use something like pins so just
pin your work the first couple of knots
that you make here pin it into a board
and then you can work with it nicely but
otherwise use want to continue I’m just
going to do it quickly here making more
square knots so start with the same
chord that you did previously over and
the other one goes over that and
underneath everything in the middle hook
through the loop and then tighten a nice
leg the other half of the square knot
just like I showed previously and
tighten that all the way up a notch in
next square knot and then if you want to
after you made a couple square knots
just do one last tug on this just to
make sure it’s it’s just how you want it
to and it’s not coming a little bit
loose so you just want to keep making
your knots here you can add it count
your knots if you want to Boggs it’s
quite a lot to count I’ll just measure
it like I said I’m going to make the
same length of knots on this side that
I’m working on now as I did in the
beginning to get a nice and even
necklace so keep doing that and then all
this left to do is finish it off so now
finish making this section of square
knots on this side as well
then we have both sides and I’ve made
sure the lengths are even and then we
basically have the main part of the
necklace done it looks like that and it
has this really nice curvature so it’s
going to sit nicely on the neckline
because of the beads there and then
obviously the section to the square
knots so this is done so all that’s left
to do now is finish off the ends up here
so obviously it can be worn and you have
a few choices of how you can do this
it’s really personal preference
personally what I’m going to do is I’m
going to be using these cord ends that
look like this we just put your card
inside I’m going to put a bit glue as
well clamp around them and then you can
use these loops on them too
you’re finding sill class with extender
chain which I’m going to be doing so
that’s one option you can also do a
regular macrame sliding knot just like
you can do a mini macrame bracelets it’s
really personal preference if you want
to do the sliding knot Omega will
recommend making your holding cards a
bit longer as you can see here so you
have enough length to make this like
knot and then enough to obviously adjust
it as well now I have a tutorial where
show how to finish off macrame in that
case bracelets in both ways but
obviously all work for either necklaces
or bracelets so if you want to have a
look at that I’m going to put a link to
that in description box below it’s going
to be helpful for that I’m just going to
be doing it here using the cord ends but
if you need to have a look go and have a
look at that tutorial there so finish
off your ends here however you want to
so I then finished off the ends of my
necklace here and then it looks like
this and sides up to my class I’ve just
used a lobster claw clasp and extender
chain like I said finish it off however
you want to whatever your preference is
so this is what it looks like so it’s a
really nice and simple design but I
think it gives a really nice impact and
also be fun to play around with say the
beads and the color of the beads maybe
make some pattern here whether it’s one
color for the small ones and one color
for the big ones and see what that looks
like so I really hope you enjoyed this
tutorial and thank you very much for
watching hello there everyone today I
want to show you how to make this triple
root wraparound bracelet and it looks
like this so I’ve used some agate
gemstones here in the center and then in macrame jewelry books
this case I’ve just added a rhinestone
chain to the outside rows so it looks
like this and then with a button closure
and this is just what I’m going to show
in this case you can always use beads
instead of the chain but I’m just going
to use a chain just to show you how you
can add that as well so if macrame jewelry tutorials
