Final thoughts

Macrame is one of the easiest crafts you can do, and probably the easiest way to make jewelry. It’s almost certainly one of the most fun ways to spend an afternoon, and you don’t need much at all in terms of tools and supplies!

Macrame bracelets are a classic, but they go far beyond just friendship bracelets. You can also make stunning wristwear from macrame in a range of motifs and patterns, and incorporate other materials like beads.

Adjustable or Sliding Closure

The best part about this closure is that you can adjust the macrame bracelet or necklace! You don’t even need a clasp, but it is still easy to take off, put on, or tighten. There are several ways to make an adjustable closure, but here are some of the simplest:

1. Say that you have a pink cord and a blue cord. Take end A of the blue cord and loop it several times loosely around one of the ends of the pink cord. Then, wrap it around end B of the blue cord. Take end A again and stick it in through the wraps that you just made and tighten.

2. Another way that you could do this sliding closure is to attach the second cord with an overhand knot and make several square knots. Then, finish with an overhand knot again and some superglue.
