Macrame Keychain DIY Materials:

• Macrame Cotton Cord
• Lobster Clasp Keychain
• Food Coloring (this is optional, I used the blue from the neon pack)
• Scissors
• A glass bowl for dyeing
• Clipboard to hold the strings (one with a straight clip like in the link)

This is a great project to practice 2 main macrame knots. This macrame key chain works up quickly and by using different colors for dyeing, you can make a bunch for gifts!

You can also make some macrame feather keychains by following along with my Macrame Feather earring tutorial here.

Or try my Macrame Necklace tutorial here. They all make beautiful Christmas Stocking stuffers!

Here is a video of each step or you can follow along with the photos!

Now you place 3 square knots along the top.

With the 12 strings, you have 3 sections of 4 strings each. 2 strings are used as center and 1 on each side to tie the knots.

1st Photo: Place your left string over the 2 center strings and under the right string.

Do the opposite with the right string by placing it under the center strings and over the left string. And pull tight.

2nd Photo: Now do the opposite by placing your left string over the 2 center strings and under the right string.

Do the opposite with the right string by placing it under the center strings and over the left string. And pull tight.

That completes 1 square knot.

Continue making square knots.

I made the next one on the other side and then in the center. So 3 across the top.

Then a row of 2 followed by another row of 3 square knots. And another row of 2 square knots.

Simple Macrame Keychain Step by Step Tutorial:

Macrame Supplies:

• Keychain ring
• Hemp cord in different colors
• Ruler or tape measure
• Scissor
• 3 Wooden colorful beads in your favorite color
• Scissors
• Masking tape

Easy Step by Step Tutorial

Measure your hemp in the following lengths: cut 4 pieces, 3 feet long. You can do this with a ruler, but measuring out 12 inches, 3 times, for each piece of hemp you cut.

Line the ends of the 4 pieces of hemp up, then gather them, and fold in half.

Grab the strands by the middle loop, and push the loop through the ring of the keychain, then bring the end strands up, and through the loop, forming a knot.

Use a piece of tape to secure the keychain ring to a table or other hard surface to work from.

Now dive the strands. You will want 3 strands on the right, 2 strands in the middle, and 3 strands on the right.

Tape the end of the middle strands together and add a wood bead.
