If it doesn’t load for you then you can also head over to my YouTube channel to watch it there instead.
Step-by-step instructions for the macrame necklace
Grab your supplies and let’s get started on this fun and rewarding boho craft project! The necklaces are knotted similarly to my macrame towel holder and macrame garland tutorial. They all require the same basic macrame knots that are perfect for macrame beginners.
Note: Steps 5, 6, and 7 are optional and you can add your own spin to your macrame necklace design. I will be sharing 3 different ways at the end. You can skip the added fringe, you can add more rows of Diagonal Clove Hitch Knots, can leave the fringe as is instead of unraveling and stiffening it. You can even add Square Knots or wood beads, or even seashells to it. There are so many options.

How to make a macrame necklace
Learn how to make a macrame necklace with my easy-to-follow tutorial that helps you create your own unique boho piece of jewelry.
Materials
- large jewelry clap
- 2mm or 3mm macrame cord in your desired color
- duct tape
- fabric starch (optional)
Tools
Instructions
- Cut your cords
Cut 6 pieces of macrame cord at 100 inches long. Any excess cord from the extra length can be used to add the fringe at the end.
- Attach cords to clasp with Lark's Head Knots
The next step is to fold the 100-inch long cotton twine pieces in half and attach three of them to the one jewelry clasp with lark’s head knots and the other three to the second jewelry clasp. A Lark's Head Knot is a simple knot that most macrame pieces start out with when looping yarn to something.
- Knot a Diamond pattern with Diagonal Clove Hitch knots
Use a piece of duct tape to secure the strands to a flat surface. Then start with the Diagonal Clove Hitch Knots from the center outwards. It doesn't matter if you start with the right side or the left side but try to evenly knot the pattern. That means that you shouldn't pull one side tighter than the other.
A Diagonal Clove Hitch Knot is where you have working cords that get looped onto a filler cord. In this case, the center cords are the filler cords and you keep looping the other cords onto the filler cord working outwards. Each strand gets looped onto the filler cord twice.
Repeat these steps over and over to create a neat diamond pattern until you reach your desired length. - Attach both Diagonal Clove Hitch knot strands together
When you have reached the desired length for both Diagonal Clove Hitch Knot Strands, it is time to knot them together. Place both strands next to each other on a flat surface and keep them in place with duct tape.
Knot the center together and then continue with the Diagonal Clove Hitch Knot diamond pattern centered.
Now trim the fringe to about 4 inches and use the leftover yarn to add the fringe in the next step. - Add fringe to the necklace edge
You can use the leftovers from earlier and also cut new yarn. I started with yarn pieces that were about 5 inches long. You add the short pieces of fringe the same way you attached the yarn to the jewelry clasps with Lark's Head Knots. Depending on how tightly you knotted the necklace, you can either add two or three pieces of fringe to the outside perimeter loops of the necklace. I added the fringe around the outside perimeter to about shoulder height.
- Unravel, comb, and stiffen fringe
Use your fingers and a comb to open up the fringe strands. Then dip the fringe into fabric starch and let it dry before trimming it to the desired length.
- Trim the macrame necklace fringe
Trim the unraveled and combed fringe with sharp scissors.
