DIY - Macramé Sliding Knot (Square)

What do you need:

Scissors

Macramé cord

Beads of your choice

A lighter

Step 1:

Thread the cord through the beads, arranging them as you'd like your bracelet to appear.

Step 2:

Cut a piece of cord approximately 50cm long.

Step 3:

Lay the cords of your bracelet side by side in opposite directions, so you have four cords lying parallel.

Step 4:

Slide the cord under all four of the bracelet's cords. Your extra piece of cord is now positioned beneath all four bracelet cords.

Step 5:

Take the right end of the cord and make a loop over all the other strands.

Step 6:

Throw the left end of the cord underneath all the strands. Make sure it goes through the loop made by the right cord.

Step 7:

Pull both ends to create the first knot.

Step 8:

Now take the left cord first and place it over all the strands.

Then, thread the right cord underneath all the strands to form a new loop. Again, ensure the left cord passes through the loop made by the right cord.

Step 9:

Pull both ends to tighten the second knot.

Step 10:

Repeat steps 8 and 9 until your sliding knot is the desired size.

Step 11:

Once you’re done with the knotting, it’s time to finish it.

Cut off both ends, leaving a small piece.

Step 12:

Carefully melt both ends with a lighter so they fuse to the sliding knot.
