You will also need some transparent tape for this project.
- Before you begin, watch the video: How to Make a Knotting Cord Macrame Bracelet. This video will walk you through the entire process of making this bracelet.
- Cut two 3' lengths of each color of knotting cord. Arrange them as shown in the video and make a knot near the top.
- Following the instructions in the video, knot your cords in the pattern demonstrated.
- Continue until your knotting has reached the desired length. The clasp will add just under 3/4" to your finished length, so be sure to subtract that from your desired length when calculating how long to make your macrame. I made my knotting about 6" long.
- Use transparent tape, ribbon crimps, and E6000 glue to finish the ends of your knotting as shown in the video.
- Use a jump ring to attach one ribbon crimp to one side of a magnetic clasp. Repeat with the other side to finish attaching your clasp.
- Allow the glue to dry thoroughly before wearing or opening your bracelet.
