Note *

Our guide was created before we carried our Macreme board. The techniue is still basically the same, but with no need for binder clips.

Step 1

Load your Swarovski button on to your 1.5mm Leather cord. Center button on leather.

Step 2

Clip button and leather onto your clipboard. (or into your macrame board)

Step 3

Use binder clips to secure both ends of your cord to the bottom of your clip board (or Macrame Bord).

Knotting Diagram

Take 0.8mm Chinese knotting cord, and create 3 patterns of Shamballa Knots (Technique shown in diagram below. For more detailed knotting instructions, please refer to our shamballa tutorial.).

Your knot should look like the image below

Step 4

Un-clip your bracelet from the clipboard and trim excess knotting cord, leaving 2mm's for burning.

Step 5

Use your lighter to burn the excess trim you left.

Step 6

Take your nippers and angel cut both ends of your leather to make loading the beads easier. Load your beads onto your leather.

Step 8

Use 0.8mm Chinese knotting cord to create another 3 patterns of shamballa knots. Cut excess knotting cord, leaving 2mm's for burning, and BURN BABY, BURN!

Step 9

Remove your bracelet from the clip board, and tie a knot in the leather, leaving a 3/4 inch opening. (button should move through opening fairly easily).
