Macrame Leather Bracelet with Square Knots -

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

Step 2: Anchor your button with a t-pin on the Macramé board or clipboard.

Cut a 6 feet long piece of Chinese knotting cord. Center the cord behind the two leather cords.

Step 4: Bring your right cord over the leather.

Step 5: Take your left cord, lay over your right cord, loop under right cord and two leather and up over the right loop.

Step 6: Pull your knotting cord gently to bring your half square knot in place.

Let’s get knotting!
