So nice to see a vid with instruction for making the macramé loop hole. I've seen it in your written instructions, but couldn't visualize how to make it all come together. Thanks!
Great to see you again Brittany and I love this bracelet! It's been months since I've made something but I'll be pulling out my design board and 8/0 seed beads today for sure. Thank-you :)
Hola soy de Barcelona, España, me gustan mucho tus tutoriales, los explicas muy bien, aunque mi ingles es un poco flojo, con las imagenes lo entiendo todo. Gracias por compartir. Saludos
I'm so glad you made another video. I have been working on the macramé you have taught me how to macramé pretty things you have made. Keep them coming. Ty for doing the videos. I have my coupon to order more stuff later Thanks
Hi beadshop... Brittany I love all your videos. I am a new beader. I made jewelry when I was younger but not at this level, i just remember loving it. Everyone, beadshop is awesome all their items are quality and Brittany's videos make everything SO SIMPLE to understand. I made this bracelet and loved it. Question, I have 6/0 seed beads to use, do you think if I make this bracelet with them I should use a larger leather like 1.5 if I am using a larger seed bead? I don't want it to look uneven. Thanks.
Cindy Mitchell Hello Cindy, I have been shopping there for a while now. I just love them. They are so creative and have some really nice beads. I think there quality is superb, not to mention the great customer service. Bead On, Deborah
do you do a lot of macramé? I have just started getting in to it. Trying to make a nice looking sliding knot. I have trouble finding a nice clean way to end the square knots at each end also to make the sliding knot neat at the end of those square knots. Any sugestions ?
Let me get back to you on this, I just saw your message while looking up some info. Now cooking lunch for my wonder husband who has been gone working for 3 days and just came home. But I would say practice is what helped me get better, and lookng on You Tube. They have everything, you can learn so much on Y.T. Have you tried a thread burner and a little hypo cement? TTYL :)
A nice, clear tutorial and a pretty bracelet, but I have one small 'grump' over you calling that a 'macrame' knot as though there were only one. By now someone else has probably already mentioned this to you since this has been up so long, but just in case, let me say,as any old hippy will tell you, that there are lots of macrame knots--as many as there are knots! The names tend to stay the same, too, whether you're a beader, a boy scout or a sailor: what you're tying there is a square knot. Each knot and bend has its own characteristics and beaders will be well served to learn the rest of them, too. Other than that, a very workmanlike job.
Hi Brittany, This is a gorgeous bracelet, and definitely my next project. A question about the 1mm leather cord. I purchased several spools for projects similar to this, 5 row cuff bracelets etc and found the leather cord was not very strong. Is it just the supplier of the cord that has weak leather or is all 1mm leather rather weak? (I purchased from a place other than beadshop)One could test this by simply pulling on cord and (as mine does) see if it snaps. I opted for pleather and other faux leather (polyester) in a few bracelets just because I was wary of the leather not being strong enough. Any thoughts?
Donna, It can be hard to find strong leather in the smaller sizes. The most important thing is that the leather is not dried out, so we take our quality control on that front very seriously. Leather is a natural material, so sometimes even pulling on a good piece of leather can cause it to weaken or break. Fortunately, the nice thing about this bracelet is that the leather is well protected throughout. Since the laddered strands are braided together they do not move against each other, and the button loop has macrame over it to protect from extra wear and tear. As long as you are using high quality 1mm leather and taking proper care of the bracelet it should last you a very long time. If you prefer a synthetic alternative that is fine too. Just make sure you can fit all 6 strands through your button and you will be good to go!
What size beads 8/0? Also how many did you use per color? Is there a smaller Ceylon I bought from you I think just the regular size guess you can look up what I bought from you lol. Last name is Beeber now. I'm just learning all the new items to use compared to years ago not much we used but thread lol. Thanks
Hi Cindy,The 8/0s are all the same size. If you want to use the inquiry form on our website, I can look up your transaction details and help you figure out the differences in the beads. Thank you for the kind words, and I hope you enjoy the project!
beadshop1 Thank you I bought some beautiful 8/0 beads from you I will check the colors I have hopefully they match if not I will order more. Also if I need more then what I have I just love the colors I got they are so colorful n different then some buyers I have bought from.
Hi Adrianna! Thank you for watching our video. In this and many other projects, we use G-S Hypo Cement. It is a great essential to have on hand. You can find it at www.beadshop.com/products/studioessentials/thread-cord-glue/g-s-hypo-tube-cement.
Love this! Great step by step instructions ❤️

Jackie Mathews Hi Jackie! This is a 4-6 hours project. Happy beading!

Hola.. Bellicimo tu trabajo.. pero .. que hilo usas.. mil gracias por tu atencion y tu respuesta.. Bendiciones.
You mension measurments, but how do I know what I should use for my own wrist?
ILona Weber Hi Ilona! Please visit us at www.beadshop.com and click on Cool Projects for detailed information on finding the correct measurements.
hola me encanto bellisimo gracias saludos
How do you know how long to make it to fit?
I love the project, but why don't you use beading needles on your working threads, I find using the needles make it easier.
Love it :)

Can I use 6\0 or 11/0???
Dina,
You can use whatever beads you would like! Just make sure your leather can fit through your button and you can experiment with the technique.
thank you
Poor description of macrame knots all have a name
Cute. Haha (^.^)v
