Instructions for macrame key holder #1
First unroll enough waxed polyester cord and cut off a piece of approx. 65 cm. Repeat this step two more times so that you have a total of three cords of about 65 cm in length. Secure the three cords to the key holder with a larks head knot. This is a simple basic macrame knot that is often used to attach a cord to an object.
Tip: You can fix the key ring to the table with adhesive tape so that it does not slip when knotting.
Now the knotting of the double half hitch begins. With this knot you have the choice of tying horizontally, vertically or diagonally. We have chosen a diagonal knot. This is tied in a zigzag through the knot pattern. In between, the Evil Eye glass beads are linked to create a beautiful overall picture.
When the double half hitch is completed, the key holder is finished off with a wrap knot. Cut about 45 cm of cord for this knot. Form a large loop and place it over the other cords. Then wrap the single cord around the other cords from top to bottom. Pass the cord through the loop and pull the other end of the cord out at the top.
Cut off the remaining cord ends and your macrame key holder with beads is complete!
Instructions for macrame keychain #2
Unroll the waxed cotton cord and cut two pieces of cord, each about 65 cm long. Now you attach the two cords to the key holder with a simple anchor knot (larks head knot).
To start knotting, unroll another piece of waxed cord and cut it to a length of about 120 cm. You now have enough cord to begin making the double half hitch knot and square knot. Follow the tutorial step by step and see how these knots together create a beautiful macrame knot pattern.
When knotting, we also add ed beautiful wooden bead. This gives the macrame key holder a very special effect! Of course you can also combine other beads with the key holder.
Done knotting? Then finish off the key holder with a wrap knot. Then cut off all remaining cord ends. Now this beautiful macrame key holder with wooden beads is finished!
