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!

Let’s get knotting!

Make easy DIY jewelry using Beadable Components and adding POPS of color with Miyuki Delica Seed Beads. Here are ways to bead and use the beadable components.

From our recent Trends We Love, our new Beadable Components are what you need for an easy bead-stitch project. These pairs well with our 11/0 Miyuki Delica Seed Beads or beads with a width of 1.5mm or thinner. Our projects uses the basic ladder stitch. Here is a look at how a ladder stitch is done to sew through the channels. Make sure when you’ve sewn through your pattern or channels, to sew through them again to strengthen the pattern.

Here are some projects using these beadable components:

Beadable Ring Pendant

The Beadable Ring Pendant (Silver or Gold) has 24 channels and fun options to designing with this piece. Each channel holds 3 Delica beads. Here are a few ideas.

On the left is a pretty pair of pink and gold earrings. We even added a pearl dangle at the bottom! Make sure to use size 24-gauge headpins if adding dangles to beadable components.

Items used in earrings: Z011337 (2), A019635, SW00665 (2), TC02298, SB00269, SB02332 (A015211 & A006587)

In the middle, we’ve made a rainbow wheel with the beadable pendant. Attach it to your necklace chain for this easy DIY necklace!

Items used in rainbow pendant necklace: Z011336 (2), SB03546, SB02343, SB02336, SB02310, SB02311, SB03545, SB02327, SB02349, A001528, Z001033 (A015211 & A006587)

And lastly we created an ombré effect with the pendant on the right.

Items used in right pendant: Z011336 (2), SB01824, SB01822, SB01826 (A015211 & A006587)

Beadable Teardrop Pendant

Love the shape of the classic teardrop! This beadable component is much easier to sew through since it only has 5 channels to work with. Each channel holds different amounts of Delica beads. The outer channel holds 13 Delicas, the inner two holds 15 Delicas and the middle holds 16. Here are two ways to using this beadable component.

The necklace on the right uses the amount of correct amount of Delicas for each channel. We’ve also used two colors to add a design to its channels. Then, using 24-gauge jump rings, we’ve added small tassels to the bottom holes of the pendant before making a fun necklace with it!

Items used in necklace: Z011339, SB00269, SB02336, A002413, Z013681, Z001033 (A015211 & A006587)

And who wouldn’t love a pair of earrings! On the right, we have a charming pair of gold earrings using Delica beads and metal tube beads. The tube beads has the small thickness as Delica seed beads and works perfectly for these beadable components.

We’ll show you how to make a leather wrap bracelet by fishtail braiding leather with new 2/0 Czech Matubo Beads.

For this bracelet tutorial, you’ll need:

• 1.5mm Leather Cord
• 1mm leather Cord
• Button Finding
• 2/0 Czech Matubo Beads

Determine Length of 1.5mm Leather needed for a wrap bracelet

Use this method to determine the leather cord length you may need for a multi-wrap bracelet.

Take your wrist length and double the length. Multiply that by the number of wraps you want and then add 12”. That will give you an approximate cord length you will need to start your bracelet. (The extra 12” factors in the beads and leather you’ll be adding along with loop end.)

Example:

2 wraps for an 8.5” bracelet: (8.5” x2) x 2 wraps = 34 + 12 = 46” needed.

Or

4 wraps for a 7.5” bracelet: (7.5” x2) x 4 wraps = 60 + 12 = 72” needed.

Keep in mind, these total numbers are approximate. You will want to test the wrap length while you’re making your bracelet. Having extra length is better than being short on your wrapped length goal.

Video Tutorial

Leather bracelet tutorial begins at 15:00 mark.

Launch yourself into this cute trend of button DIY jewelry with TierraCast buttons. We have three projects using TierraCast buttons; two pair of earrings and a lariat necklace.

TierraCast has a large assortment of button components. Of course when it comes to button components, you easily gravitate your DIY mind to making bracelets. Which is the perfect use for them. But we’ve expand our thinking into using buttons as earrings and necklace components. Here are three examples using TierraCast buttons designed by Heidi!

Golden Rosette Button Earrings

There is always room for a pair of tassel earrings in your jewelry stash. Why not make it shine like gold in this pair of Golden Rosette Button Earrings, using TierraCast’s Czech Rosette Button. The shank button makes it easy to hang your golden components. Unlike a typical button with two or four holes in the center, a shank has a protrusion in the back of the button with a hole so that when sewn on fabric, there is space allowed for the fabric to sit behind.

Directions:

1. Open eyepin loop, slide on chain tassel and close loop.
2. Slide on a TierraCast Pamada bead and make a simple loop.
3. Open a jump ring, slide on loop from bead dangle from Step 2 and through shank hole of button. Close jump ring.
4. Open another jump ring and slide through loop of ear wire and through shank hold of button. Close jump ring.
5. Repeat all steps for other earring.
