Micro-Macrame differs from
regular Macrame because the thickness of the
materials used is much finer.
This includes the beads, pendants, and other
decorations. The delicate cords used in
Micro-Macrame are usually between 0.5mm and 2mm
thick.
When making handcrafted jewelry, controlling
fine materials can be challenging. You are
basically working with threads instead of cords.
This requires you to have more patience, along
with increased skill and knowledge.
BEGINNERS
may find all of these projects difficult,
even the easy ones, if they have not
mastered the basic knots.
IMPORTANT:
MAKE SURE YOU KNOW HOW TO TIE ALL THE
KNOTS IN THE PATTERN BEFORE ATTEMPTING
ANY OF THE PROJECTS ON THIS PAGE.
Go to the Learn
Macrame section and
practice the knots until you are
completely comfortable with them. Each
pattern will have a link to those pages.

Don't know what types of cord materials are
suitable for jewelry? BEFORE creating
something, make sure you read both of these
pages:
- Synthetic
Materials describes the types
of materials that are made from
chemical processes, such as Nylon, Olefin,
and Satin.
- Natural
Materials describes
types of fiber that are made from plants or
animals, such as Hemp, Cotton, Silk, and
Leather.
