Micro-Macrame with Bettye
July’s meeting demo will be led by Bettye and she will be teaching us micro-macrame. Bettye has used this technique to make earrings, pendants, and entire necklaces. It’s a versatile craft, and combines well with your polymer beads and creations!
Bettye will show six knots. One will be a sliding knot to finish off the piece.
Supplies Needed
A macrame board: order online (JoAnn, Michaels, Amazon, etc.) or make one.
Take a rectangle of styrofoam (6″x9″ or thereabouts), cover in batting and secure the batting by covering the whole thing with a piece of cloth. Glue, tape, or pin the cloth around the sides and back. You can also use a thick piece of cork.
Straight or T pins.
Small scissors
C-Lon Bead cord .5mm (you can also use hemp, cotton, or linen jewelry cord of the same or similar diameter. Yarn is not recommended).
GS Hypo cement to finish the cords off.
Seed beads to fit the cord (Optional)
Fray-check, nail polish, or white glue to stiffen the ends of cords (to go through the beads)
