Hello in this tutorial I show you how to make a macrame bracelet with hearts
material
table with clamp, hemp or cotton yarn of two colors, measuring tape or ruler and scissors
Before starting, let's know the basic knots
to do this, click on the video
take the thread, you´ll need 2 strips of 1.90 cm of each color
when you have tem, fold each one in half
you should have these strips
take all and join them
cut in half with scissors
make a knot at 10 cm or 15 cm in bottom
remember pull each thread to tighten well
accommodate the threads to have this order: brown, red, brown, red and red, brown, red, brown
take the table and put in the threads
this way the threads will be well holded
remember you should have this order
take the first, the brown in the left and over the next, in my case red
make a double half hitch to the right, first a "4" then a "P"
take the following threads, in my case brown and red
with the brown make a double half hitch to the right, two "4"
do the same on the other side, take the brown and over the red
make a reverse double half hitch to the left
first a "P", then "4"
take the next 2 threads, brown and red, with the brown make a double half hitch to the left
two "P"
take the 2 brown threads in the middle and make a double half hitch to the right
you must have this, a brown chevron, now let´s do another one in red
take the red in the left and over the next make a double half hitch to the right
go to the next, in my case brown and make a doble half hitch to right
take the red thread in the right and on the next, make a double half hitch to the left
go to the next, in my case brown and do the same
take the middle threads and make a double half hitch to the right
take this red thread and over the brown, make a reverse double half hitch to the left
first "P", then "4"
do the same on the other side, take the red and over the previous
make a reverse double half hitch to the right
you must have this figure
take the red in the left and over the next, make a double half hitch to the right
go to the next, in my case red and make a double half hitch to the right
do the same on the other side
take the red in the right and over the next, make a double half hitch to the left
go to the next and make the do the same
take the middle threads and make a double half hitch to the right
you must have this figure, now we have a heart, now we will do a brown chevron
take the brown in the left and make a double half hitch to the right over the next brown thread
do the same on the following threads
you will have a diagonal like this, now we must do the same on the other side
take the brown thread and over the next, make a double half hitch to the left
do the same with the other 2 threads
take the middle threads and make a double half hitch to the right
take the brown thread in the left edge and over the red, make a double half hitch to the right
first a "4" then a "P"
do the same on the other side, take the right thread and make a reverse double half hitch to the left
first a "P", then a "4"
we have to make a red "V"
take the red wire on the left and make a double half hitch to the right over the following 2
now you have a diagonal, do another on the other side
take the red thread in the right and make a double half hitch to the left over the following 2
take the threads in the center and make a double half hitch to the right
take the red in the left and make a reverse double half hitch to the left over the brown thread
do the same on the other side
take the red and make a reverse double half hitch to the right
to complete the heart, we need to make a chevron
take the red thread and make a double half hitch to the right in the following threads
do the same on the other side
take the red and make double half hitch to the left on ecah thread
with the threads in the center, make a double half hitch to the right
now you have a heart, let´s make a brown chevron here
take the brown and make reverse double half hitch on both edges
now we have to make the top of the heart
and finish with another chevron but red
if you note, we are repeating a basic shape
we started with a brown chevron, then 2 knots in the sides
then a mini chevron in red and finally a big chevron in red
continue repeating the process until you reach the desired lenght
when you reach the desire lenght, make a knot in the bottom
take the all threads and make a knot
if you have small threads, cut them as close as possible to the knot
take the bottom threads and divide them in groups of 3
start braiding, if you don´t know how to do it, click on the video
when you finish, make a tie a knot in the bottom
cut the remaining threads
do the same on both edges
then take away of the table
ready, you finished the bracelete
