Macrame keychains are a fun and easy project that you can complete in just a few minutes. They are a great way to add some personality to your keys or give as a gift to a friend. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to create a simple macrame keychain using just a few basic knots.
Materials:
4mm cotton cord (one piece, 2 feet long)
Scissors
Keyring
Step 1: Cut your cord
Cut one piece of 4mm cotton cord, 2 feet long. Fold the cord in half and tie a knot at the top to create a loop. Hang the loop on a hook or dowel to keep it organized.
Step 2: Create the center knot
Take the two center cords and tie a knot about 1 inch from the top. This will create the center of your keychain.
Step 3: Create the square knots
Take one cord from each adjacent pair and tie a square knot (right over left, left over right) about 1/2 inch below the center knot. Repeat this process with the other adjacent pairs until you have three sets of square knots.
Step 4: Create the bottom knot
Take all four cords and tie a knot at the bottom, leaving about 1 inch of cord below the knot. This will create the base of your keychain.
Step 5: Add the keyring
Thread the keyring through the loop at the top of your keychain and tie a knot to secure it in place.
Step 6: Finish your keychain
Trim the ends of the cords to your desired length and comb them out to create a fringe effect. Your keychain is now ready to use!
Tips:
Be patient and take your time with each knot to ensure that your keychain is secure and balanced.
Experiment with different knotting techniques and colors to create a unique design.
Use a keyring that is sturdy and can handle the weight of your keys.
We hope you enjoyed this tutorial on how to make a simple macrame keychain. Happy knotting!
