Macramé choker necklace

Fall for the bohemian spirit of this macramé necklace with pretty natural stones and small metal beads.

A simple technique that will allow you to get started with this method and thus create beautiful necklaces.

Discover all the steps thanks to our video tutorial!

For this project you need:
macramé jewelry thread 0.5mm natural beads 6mm metal beads of different sizes and shapes a board and a clamp a lighter or a candle a thread cutter or scissors

Some explanations:

This method is quite simple, we will first make a series of diagonal knots as in the video below. Then in the center of the necklace we insert metal beads and a pretty natural bead in the center.

To start, cut 5 threads about 1.5 meters each. Plan a good length because you will not be able to make joins during assembly at the risk of having to start all over!

Start the knots from about the center; it will be easier to adjust the length of the necklace.

In this technique, the outer thread will be the weft thread, it passes over the others. Then each thread will make 2 knots on the weft thread. When you want to place beads, you must string them before making the knots.

Make a first series of diagonal knots, then insert a metal bead on the weft thread (this is the one that goes diagonally, the one on which we make the knots with the other threads) then make the knots with the 3 threads.

Before making the knots with the last thread, string the small metal beads. Here we put 1 cube bead 2mm, 2 beads 3mm, a pendant and again, 2 beads 3mm and 1 cube bead 2mm. Then lock the row of beads by making the 2 knots.

Go back in the opposite diagonal by making the knots with the threads.

Then repeat the operation with the beads but this time on the 3rd thread you will string a 6mm bead. Continue symmetrically...

Then make as many weavings as you want and to finish the necklace, braid the remaining threads by making a 3-strand braid (join the outer threads in pairs and leave the central thread alone).

To give you another view of the technique, you can watch the bracelet video.

And there you go! Beautiful work!
