Micro-Macrame
|
| |
|
| |
| Micro-Macrame differs from regular Macrame because the size of the materials used is much smaller. This includes the beads, pendants, and other decorations. The delicate cords used in Micro-Macrame are
usually less than 2mm thick.
The first time I tried to make handcrafted jewelry, I did not think using fine materials would be challenging,
but it is. You’re basically working with threads instead
of cords. This requires you to have more control, along with skill and knowledge. You will need a project board, pins and tape to create all of the Micro-Macrame designs listed.
Be very sure you know how to tie ALL the Macrame Knots you will be using, before trying to make the projects below. I recommend you go to the Learn Macrame section, and practice those decorative knots until you are completely comfortable with them. Each pattern will also have a link to those pages.
Don't know what types of cord materials are suitable? Go to Macrame Cord for specific information about the types of fiber that can be used for your jewelry projects. Silk, Rattail, Leather, Flax, and several others are described in more detail. |

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. |

Here's a nice little project to get you started learning Micro-Macrame. It's called a Gemstone Pouch.
You can put stones, shells, beads, or other small items inside. Attach it to a necklace, belt, or cell phone with the ends at the top. |

Feel free to PRINT any of these pages. If you have trouble printing, contact me and I will send the page to you in PDF format.
The patterns are rated based on how challenging they are to make. The symbols in the corners of the images tell you what the rating is:
- E = Easy (Suitable for Beginners)
- M = Moderate (Requires you to have some experience)
- A = Advanced (Challenging, not for beginners)
