Micro-Macrame

 
Micro-Macrame Bracelet
 
Do you know what the term Micro-Macrame means? You will be hard pressed to find the definition in a dictionary. That’s because the only difference is in the size of the cords, beads, etc. The delicate cords used in Micro-Macrame are usually less than 2mm thick. Therefore it's considered an advanced form of Macrame, simply because you are dealing with very fine materials.

The first time I tried to make handcrafted jewelry, I did not think using slender materials would be challenging, but it is. You’re basically working with threads instead of cords. They also have a mind of their own, and require you to have more control.

Be very sure you know how to tie ALL the Basic Macrame Knots before trying to make ANYTHING with material less than 2mm. I recommend you head to Learn Macrame and practice ALL the decorative knots described at least once.

Don't know what types of cord materials are suitable? Go to Macrame Cord for specific information about several types of fiber that can be used for your jewelry projects. Silk, Rattail, Leather, Flax, and several others are described in more detail.

Click on the small images, or the links, to go to the page described. The instructions, along with other images, will come up. They will help you create these unique Macrame projects.

 
 
  Knotting Tips   Need strategies about using the delicate materials used in Micro-Macrame? I've created a page called Knotting Tips to share with you a few issues that I have personally dealt with when making my own handcrafted jewelry designs.  
 
 
Since most types of jewelry require some sort of clasp, I've included pages that describe several different types, using a variety of decorative knots. You can purchase clasps as well, but it's fun to make your own.
