Dip-Dyed Macrame DIY Necklace

Jewelry· Necklaces

In the world of design, textiles and weaving are totally having a moment. Take the macrame trend, for example. This classic craft has filtered into the fashion world, showing itself through clothing and jewelry. Thankfully, you don’t need to be a macrame pro to take on this dip-dyed macrame DIY necklace. With a few clever knots and basic natural macrame cord, you can embrace the trend in your own wardrobe. And since the cord is made of cotton, it’s easy to spruce up with colorful dye. What’s not to love?

Macrame-DIY-Necklace-dip-dyed-consumer-crafts-unleashed-1Supplies needed to make your own macrame DIY necklace:ClickLinks1

  • Darice Natural Macramé Cord
  • E-6000 Industrial Strength Adhesive
  • Scissors
  • Fabric Dye
  • 3-in-1 Jewelry Pliers
  • 5mm End Caps (6)
  • 12mm Jump Rings (4)
  • 7mm Jump Rings (18)
  • Jewelry Clasp
  • Plastic Container for Dye
  • Plastic Bags or Bubble Wrap (to protect your work surface)

Macrame-DIY-Necklace-dip-dyed-consumer-crafts-unleashed-3Step 1. Cut three strands of macramé rope measuring at least 36 inches each. While this measurement might seem extremely long, keep in mind that the knotted design will shorten the final piece. Remember, you can always take away, but you can’t add more!

Macrame-DIY-Necklace-dip-dyed-consumer-crafts-unleashed-21Step 2. Position the strands of rope on a flat surface, side by side. Find the middle point of the rope trio and take a mental note.

Macrame-DIY-Necklace-dip-dyed-consumer-crafts-unleashed-4Step 3. Take the right end of the rope and place it underneath itself. The point where the rope intersects with itself should be near or at the middle point. A loop will form on the right hand side.

Macrame-DIY-Necklace-dip-dyed-consumer-crafts-unleashed-5Step 4. Bring the end of the rope upward.

Macrame-DIY-Necklace-dip-dyed-consumer-crafts-unleashed-6Step 5. Place the end underneath the loop and straight through.

Macrame-DIY-Necklace-dip-dyed-consumer-crafts-unleashed-7Step 6. Pull gently. This creates a single finished knot.

Macrame-DIY-Necklace-dip-dyed-consumer-crafts-unleashed-8Step 7. Now, it’s time to work on the left side. Bring the other end over the rope, placing it near the knot your just created.

Macrame-DIY-Necklace-dip-dyed-consumer-crafts-unleashed-9Step 8. Bring the end underneath the rope and upward. At this point, a loop will form on the left.

Macrame-DIY-Necklace-dip-dyed-consumer-crafts-unleashed-10Step 9. Insert the end through the loop, placing it over then under and straight through.

Macrame-DIY-Necklace-dip-dyed-consumer-crafts-unleashed-11Step 10. Pull gently to complete the second knot. If needed, undo the knot and re-position until you have achieved your desired look.

Macrame-DIY-Necklace-dip-dyed-consumer-crafts-unleashed-12Step 11. Trim down the ends of the rope.

Macrame-DIY-Necklace-dip-dyed-consumer-crafts-unleashed-13Step 12. Fill a plastic container with dye. Place the macrame DIY cord inside the container. Set aside for at least 30 minutes.

You can dip dye the knots or the entire piece. It’s totally up to you!

Macrame-DIY-Necklace-dip-dyed-consumer-crafts-unleashed-14Step 13. Under running water, rinse the rope until the water turns clear. Lay out to dry completely.

Macrame-DIY-Necklace-dip-dyed-consumer-crafts-unleashed-15Step 14. Optional: For extra details, add three 7mm jump rings to each strand of rope. Use the flattening portion of the pliers to secure each jump ring.

Macrame-DIY-Necklace-dip-dyed-consumer-crafts-unleashed-16Step 15. Glue 5mm end caps to the ends of the rope. Leave to dry.

Macrame-DIY-Necklace-dip-dyed-consumer-crafts-unleashed-17Step 16. On one side, add all three ends caps to a 12mm jump ring. Add a clasp. To complete the necklace, repeat on the opposite side. Add another jump ring instead of a the clasp.

Macrame-DIY-Necklace-dip-dyed-consumer-crafts-unleashed-18How simple was that? Sure, it might look complicated. However, like most crafting techniques, it makes more sense the more you do it. Give it a few tries before working on the real thing. With some practice, you’ll be able to create a versatile, eye-catching macrame DIY accessory.
