Helpful Tips:
What materials are needed for a macrame necklace?
To make these macrame necklaces you will need macrame cord, in the colour of your choosing, and a way to close the necklace. If you make your necklace longer, you can simply tie a knot in the end of the cords.
What size cord is best for a macrame necklace?
We used 2mm macrame cord to make our necklaces. We like the look of several small strands knotted together. But using a different cord size, or a different amount of cords, can totally change the look of the necklace! You can easily make a macrame necklace using a larger cord size, like 5mm or 8mm. If you use a larger cord we recommend making the necklace using only 1 or 2 cords, instead of 3.
All it takes is macrame cord and a little bit of time to make a unique, handmade necklace. Get creative and make one of these DIY macrame necklaces in 15 minutes or less. They’re so pretty and inexpensive to make!
