Beading Basics: Knotting for beginners

Viviana SolerMar 3, 2015

Hi You!

Have you knotted before?

I ask because I used to love making friendship and macramé bracelets when I was younger.

I remember being pleasently surprised when I found out that this seeminglydifficult technique was nothing more than the repetition of one single knot.

So, it shouldn't surprise you to hear that I'm a huge fan of knotted jewelry.

I've been seeing some gorgeous knotted bracelets and necklaces and I can't wait to start making my own version of these beauties.

So, today's tutorial is the first in a series of 4 or 5 Knotting tutorials. We'll start with 3 really simple knots that anybody can learn how to make.

So, take out your supplies, your favorite DIY notebook and start practicing these knots!

The Knots you'll learn today, are:

1- The Button Knot

2- The Franciscan Knot and

3- The Spiral Macrame Knot
