Rhinestone DIY Macrame Bracelet Tutorial

I love creating simple jewelry that anyone can make. I don’t have all of the necessary tools, or probably the patience, to get into the true art of making jewelry, but something quick and pretty is definitely up my alley. While shopping on Consumer Crafts I came across two items that I thought could look really nice together and went ahead and added them to my cart. Using a simple macrame knot I’m going to share with you how I made this two supply DIY macrame bracelet, which I’ve received a number of compliments on! It pairs well with my silver bracelets and I love the simplicity of it. If you are looking great project for a group of tween/teens, then this is definitely for you! And PS – I was totally right – the hemp and rhinestones look awesome together.

Supplies needed to make your own DIY macrame bracelet:

• Hemp Cord (I used this spring colors set)
• 4mm Rhinestone Cup Chain
• Scissors

Step one. Trim a length of rhinestone chain to fit around your wrist.

Step two. Cut a 40″ length of hemp. Fold the length in half, and create a knot on the folded end by wrapping both strands around your finger and passing the end through the loop. Don’t make it too big, or your bracelet might fall off easily.

Step three. We are going to use the Macrame Square knot – create a half knot around 1 rhinestone like in the images below.

Step four. Finish with another half knot around a 2nd rhinestone to complete one square knot. (See images below). Continue down the whole bracelet.

Step five. Once you’ve reached the last rhinestone, finish with a half knot.

Step six. Create one more knot and trim the ends.

That’s it! You’re ready to wear this beautiful and simple DIY macrame bracelet!
