Macramé bracelets
From basic macramé knots, here are bracelets that are easy to make,
including for children as young as 8-10, and to which you can add beads and other fantasies (
seethe macramé overhand knot technique).
This macramé technique is the basis of the famous Shamballa bracelets...
Howlong are the strands?
For a child's bracelet, the middle strands (passive) should be around 35 cm (i.e. a length of around 70 cm). And for an adult bracelet, around 50 cm (i.e. a length of around 100 cm).
For the outer strands (which will be subjected to greater stress), double the length.

A cotton thread and wooden bead bracelet being assembled.
The beads are simply threaded onto the two middle strands, at regular intervals on the flat knot barrette.
For this macramé belt, thick cotton twine is used: first a barrette of flat knots, then a wooden bead is added, taking advantage of the opportunity to alternate strands (so that the middle strands don't quickly become much shorter than the outer strands).
Then, on an outer wire, a wooden washer is threaded and the other 3 wires are simply braided.
A little further on, simply alternate the outer thread to thread the wooden washer.
Reproducing these patterns evenly throughout the belt creates a unique belt!

Depending on the thread used, its thickness and its material, a macramé bracelet can have different appearances:
Bracelet for boy in black waxed cotton and wooden beads Bracelet for girl in two-tone blue cotton and blue crystal beads, macramé flat knots.
An embroidery thread bracelet (very fine) in twisted knots with homemade fimo beads
An ethnic look for this bracelet made with a duo of fine thread and "chip" beads in natural red wood. Note: the finer the thread, the longer the work!
A trick for imprisoning a long oval wooden bead: the bead is threaded onto the 2 middle strands and the overhand knots are continued with the other 2 strands all around.
