How many cords are needed in making a macrame bracelet?
You’ll only need 2 cords for this macrame bracelet tutorial — one 32 inch cord and one 80 inch cord.
What do I need for a macrame bracelet?
You only need a few supplies to make this bracelet! Gather some macrame cord, scissors, a tape measure, and Scotch tape.
What type of cord to use for a macrame bracelet?
This bracelet uses 2 mm cotton macrame “rope”, but you can easily use 1 mm cord for a more delicate bracelet or 3 mm for a chunkier looking one. You can also use crochet cotton or embroidery floss with this pattern!
Can macrame be washed? Can macrame get wet?
You can spot wash your bracelet using mild soap and lukewarm water. Then air dry it away from direct sunlight, as heat can shrink the fibers. So it’s okay if the bracelet becomes wet occasionally, but removing it while showering, swimming, etc will make it last longer.
How can I personalize my DIY macrame bracelet?
You can easily personalize your bracelet by choosing the colour and size of your macrame cord. Then you can follow our tutorial as is, or make it more unique by placing beads on the end of the loose cords, above the knots. Or you can add a charm (or charms!) to the bracelet by placing it on the right tying cord as you knot the bracelet.
This DIY bracelet is a really fun project to make over the summer or winter holidays. And for an affordable and thoughtful homemade gift, be sure to make this macrame bracelet in your BFF’s favourite colour!
