Description:
The Sport Bracelet pattern is very easy,
so is a suitable Macrame project for young
children.
The most unique thing about this Macrame bracelet
is the fact that the beads slide along the
cords. So as you are at your favorite sport
game, you can keep count of the runs, goals, or
touchdowns.
It's better to use smooth
material, such as the Satin cord in the example.
Make sure the beads have large enough holes so
they slide back and forth easily. You can
use crow rollers, which are glass, or plastic pony
beads.
Important: When using
Satin or other delicate material, do not put the
pins through it. Lean
the pins over the cord or use the Cross-pin
Technique. You can also use
tape.

Sport Bracelet Design
Step
3: Hold the first bead on it's
side, so the hole runs side to side
(horizontal).
Pass the left
half of the cord through the bead
from left
to right.
Step
4: Pass the right
half through the bead from right to
left.
Add more beads
in the same manner. Position them so there
is a small amount of space between each
one.
Stop when the Sport Bracelet is 1.5
inches less than the size you
want.
So for a 7-inch bracelet, stop at 5.5
inches.
Step
5: Leave a space
approximately 1 - 2 inches in size.
Tie an Overhand knot using both
ends together.
Finishing Touches
Step
6: Add the button for the Sport
Bracelet the same way you did the beads.
The left half of the cord passes through
the shank from left to right. The
right half goes through in the opposite
direction.
Step
7: Use a Barrel knot to
secure the button: Start by making
an Overhand knot. Wrap one end
around the loop again.
As you tighten, apply glue next to the shank
of the button. Add more on
the outside of the knot after it's
tight. Wait until the glue dries and
cut off the extra material.
