Quick Project Steps

Begin by securing the Chinese Knotting Cord with a rubber stopper bead, leaving room for adjustment.
Create a base knot and then prepare the cord for macrame by folding it over and securing it to the base cords.
Utilize the macrame knot technique, alternating the direction of knots to maintain a flat design.
Introduce beads into the pattern, either pre-loading them onto the central cord or adding them as you go along the outer cords.
Continue the pattern, ensuring consistent spacing between beads and knots for a uniform appearance.
To finish, tie a final knot with all cords, trim excess cord, and secure the ends. Adjust the rubber stopper bead for size and add beads at the ends if desired.

I find it difficult to navigate the pages. When I am looking for something specific, there is not a place for me to simply type in what I am looking for.

I've been a professional beader for around 25 years. Your website and tutorials are simply the best. Well done! Don't change. Not happy with purchase of 3mm round crystal AB nor the 14mm and 18mm rivolis. Poor quality crystals. Dull.
