Here is a simple bracelet braided with macrame square knots using Chinese knotting cord and 1.5mm leather cord.
With the boho, fiber and minimalistic trend, macrame is making its comeback to wall decor and even jewelry making. Like our Macrame Leather Bracelet, we used Chinese knotting cord and made square knots on two strands of leather for a simple bracelet. The contrast of the white Chinese knotting cord still brings out the natural colors of the leather!
What you’ll need:
- 1mm Chinese Knotting Cord (Item used in example: A018859)
- 1.5mm Leather Round Cord (Item used in example: Z019114)
- Button (Item used in example: TC00897)
- Macramé Board or Clipboard
- T-Pins or general pins.
- Scissors and Lighter
You can use 2mm Chinese knotting cord or leather for this tutorial also!
Tutorial
Let’s get knotting!
In this tutorial, the Chinese knotting cord is tied onto leather. Can this be done without tying the cord to something else?
To get the same look? No. Without the leather or any type of cord to tie onto, you’re only making a series of knots.
Have never tried macrame, but seems rather easy and the look is beautiful, once i recover completely i would like to concentrate on learning. I am sure I will have a lot of questions! What do you suggest I buy to help me learn, or just go to your tutorials? I do better if I can read it first and then see it being done. Thank you in advance. Happy Dia De Los Muertos….. hoping I can attend at least one of the activities before its all over. LOL.!!
