Interchangeable Macrame Crystal Necklace (DIY Tutorial)

Learn how to make an DIY macrame crystal holder necklace that you can open up and swap out the stone!
👉 GRAB THE PRINTABLE AD-FREE PDF PATTERN IN MY SHOP: www.etsy.com/listing/12455754...
This crystal pendant is made with very basic knots and a bit of string- it's super simple!
I used embroidery floss and waxed it with a beeswax candle- that's optional and you don't have to wax it if you don't want to, but it makes it a bit more sturdy.
You can also use hemp cord, cotton cord, or pre-waxed thread. You'll just want the cord to be about the same size as 6 strand embroidery floss.
SUPPLIES YOU'LL NEED //
▶︎ 6 strand embroidery floss (I used DMC) in your preferred color- I used ECRU in the video: shrsl.com/32h9s
- 4 pieces @ 48" long (121 cm)
▶︎ beeswax to wax the thread (optional, I used a candle I had laying around): amzn.to/3xuaFKz
▶︎ wooden bead with a large hole (mine was about 5/8" long): amzn.to/3vjxIoR
▶︎ large eye needle that will fit through the bead: amzn.to/3uIGSfF
▶︎ scissors: amzn.to/38St75A
▶︎ tape, clipboard or cork board and T-pins to hold the necklace while you braid: amzn.to/3uGOTl1
▶︎ measuring tape
▶︎ assorted crystals! tidd.ly/3AQ8gJE

As an absolute crystal crow I sincerely appreciate this tutorial as I can now use this for all of my self protective metaphysical needs =]

[@seshain_xo]

My brain could not comprehend this at first and you just broke it down for me so beautifully, thank you!

[@krsyo]

Thank you for this clean tutorial. I've seen others with too much going on in the background. My easily distracted self just can't 😅

[@memorybleach]

I am autistic and a crystal fanatic. I have been wanting to start macrame for so long and this video inspired me to do so! Thank you for such a clear cut, easy to understand turorial.

[@AmandaMerkel]

Ayeee autistic crystal fanatic buddies ❤😂

[@catmoon4819]

You made an excellent, easy to follow video. I tried watching 2 other creators videos on this type of necklace and gave up yesterday because I kept getting confused on the second set of knots. Today, this video randomly showed up on my home page so I decided to give a look... the way you laid out the strings after each step cleared up any questions I had about what to do next so thank you very much. I liked and now subscribing.👌😊💚

[@MarchingNorth]

Glad it was helpful! 😊 😊

[@Fullmoonrisingtarot]

It’s so refreshing to see such a well done tutorial , thank you ! it was perfect , both the necklace and the 10 min class I just attended lol

[@tsuki4195]

This is adorable, and so well made! I’ve never done macrame before (more of a crochet person tbh), but this is so clearly explained that I’m confident that I could make one. I’m excited to try this out with some crystal collecting friends!

[@MoniseSeward]

Third time is the charm!!😂😂😂 I had to slow down and make my knots closer together. Thank you for this very clear explanation!

[@lafinitryder]

I practically never start a tutorial without watching it first and for some reason I was following along as the video played (pausing to work the steps) and it’s perfect! My daughter has been after me to make her something for all the crystals and gems she wants to wear and this came out perfect! Thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial. Very easy to follow 😊

[@gypsygirlnz1]

Brilliant!! I always thought macrame was too tricky to learn... But you explain it so clearly I'm actually going to make a crystal holder 💕 thank you 🕊️

[@Ali_OT7]

Thanks for such a clear, easy-to-use tutorial. So many people overcomplicate these types of videos! I just found your channel searching for this exact tutorial; and I subscribed 😊.

Thank you for this fabulous tutorial.🥰

[@1LovHorses]

I use thicker hemp for mine because i use much larger stones but waxing and dyeing my own hemp is the fun part of the process! Definitely wax your own!
I made one with an 80 Dollar flourite stone this way. Added feather and cordage wraps. I wanted to sell for $120 but its wayyy to beautiful lol
Youre really good at this.

[@itsdonnairene]

I love this tutorial so much!! I prefer the look of this type of strand. Could you teach us how to make the end of the necklace adjustable?

[@RayngoMango]

This was very helpful, thank you!
