Instructions in 6 steps The leather strings are in the spotlight here thanks to the special knotting technique called macramé. And this is how it works:

Step 1

At first, cut off 25 cm of the both 1m leather laces long. Hold flush the two 75 cm and the both 25 cm long leather laces and fix them with some wire.

Step 2

Thread 16 big hole Rocailles, diametrically opposed, on each of the 25 cm long leather laces and tie the ends with a knot.

Step 3

With both of the long leather laces tie a reef knot over the short ones.

Step 4

Knot the Rocailles successively as follows: Slide the first Rocaille on the narrow side of the reef knot and knot the first half of the next reef knot. Slide the opposite Rocaille upwards and knot the second half of the reef knot.

Step 5

Knot successively and alternately all further Rocailles .

Hint: Push firmly the Rocailles upwards. At the end, set a last reef knot without beads. Define the desired bracelet length, if necessary knot 1-2 Rocailles more.
