Macramé Cord For Jewelry | Everything You Need To Know to Get Started

#macramecord #macramecordwheretobuy #macrame101
This video is everything you need to know about macramé cord and how to get started making macramé jewelry.
In this video I review 7 styles of cord that are all great for macramé. I discuss the pro’s and con’s of each and tell you where I like to purchase the cords from.
Please note: I highly encourage you to find a local mom and pop bead store near you first! But I know some places don’t even have a bead store (only mass retailers) available.
Check out the following online retailers:

2. www.micro-macramejewelry.com
3. www.hempbeadery.com

Thank you Sue!! I’m so happy you find it helpful. Cord options are a bit overwhelming now days 🙏🏻✌🏻

[@pammorrison3172]

Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us! I always wondered about the difference in cords. Great information!!❤❤ What is the most common size of waxed polyester that you use most often?

[@Peaceknots]

Cord knowledge has taken me a lot of trial and error! I forgot to mention in video that there are many more cord options but these are my favorite. The most common size is 1mm but my favorite is .8mm or .5mm b/c I like to work with small beads such as delica’s size 11. If you are brand new to macrame, I suggest using 1mm or bigger to get used to working with cords, then downsize if you want ✌🏻 Have a great day 🌈

[@andreiamoreira7684]

Hello! First of all, great help!!! It´s very hard to find the best cord and suplier. I´m portuguese and didn´t know the portuguese shop you mentioned! Will definitly check them. Which leads me to a question, the last cord is it Linhasita? I find very hard to hold the knots with the malka threads and the nylon ones. Also, the pieces don`t get a shape. They tend to fold if you know what I mean. Is there any trick you can share besides hold very firmly the knot?

[@Peaceknots]

Hi Andreia! Thank you, I’m so glad the video was helpful. I think I know what you mean about the shape and I’ll try to make a video with tricks and tips. The key to successful macrame is tight knots so I’ll go over that in the video as well. Thank you for the video idea!

[@Mystichummingbird83]

Need help please! I keep macrameing a bracelet for my grand daughter out of cotton waxed cord. When I finish it with a slip macrameing closure it is breaking the main cords of the bracelet. Could you please tell me what is happening? I am new to macrameing. I watch your videos which I love. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 😊

[@Peaceknots]

Hi April!! Maybe the slip knot is too tight or when you burn the edges of the slip knot they are creating a rough texture that pulls on the cotton. My favorite thread is nylon from www.micro-macramejewelry.com

[@karriekelley2785]

which of these chord options give the best fringe option for dangle earrings? Thanks for the info, btw?

[@Peaceknots]

Hi Karrie ! I would say the nylon cord from www.micro-macramejewelry.com.
I love this cord b/c it’s so small that delica beads fit perfect. It’s lightweight & you can burn the edges for clean finish.
