- Begin by cutting two 4' lengths and two 18" lengths of size 18 Super-Lon nylon cord.
- Take one 4' length and one 18" length and fold them each in half, with the center folds together. Insert the folded ends of your cord down through the Arrow Connector Link so that a loop is formed coming out the bottom of the link. Then bring the ends of the cord (all four pieces) through the loop and pull tight to form a lark's head knot.
- Use the longer cords to tie Twisted Half-Square Knots. To get the twisted look of this macrame you will not be completing the full square knots. You will continue to knot the same side, doing a half square knot, always going the same direction, as shown in the video.
- Continue until the knotting measures about 1 1/4" and then finish off your knotting as demonstrated in this video. Make sure to add a dab of E6000 into the knot and trim the outside cords after the glue dries.
- Measure about 3" from the end of the knotting and tie the inner cords together in an overhand knot.
- Repeat this process with the other lengths of cord on the other side of the arrow.
- Then use one of the longer scraps of cord to create a sliding knot clasp with eight half square knots as demonstrated in this video. (Make sure to add a dab of E6000 into the knot and trim the cords close after the glue dries.)
