I did it! I finally sat down and wrote a tutorial for micro macrame! I knotted this bracelet and took photos every step of the way and then sat down and wrote instructions for the photos. This tut has 14 pages and includes a whopping 39 photographs. I get lots of questions on how I finish micro macrame, so I spent four pages covering that in detail. This is an example of the photos you'll find included:
This bracelet uses only the double half hitch knot, except for the few knots to attach the split rings at the end. That's it - you just have to learn ONE knot. You can do that, can't you? I didn't include instructions for that in the tut (it was already 14 pages!), but I did find loads of places online where it's covered, including a You Tube video by Ms. Joan Babcock (the macrame master!).
So go practice your knots and when you decide you're ready to try a bracelet, you can find the tutorial for sale here. And that's not all! There's a tutorial right next to this one... for this beaded macrame design:
Yup. It's been a busy week. Oh, and for those of you who don't want to try knotting your own? Both of these bracelets will be available in my shop soon. I aim to please.
I used to manage a macramé shop years ago. This is a beautiful bracelet! Makes me wish I had not gotten rid of a whole bunch of macramé supplies. Great job!
