Discover in this tutorial proposed by Céline how to make a micro-macramé bracelet with pearl inclusions. It's the perfect piece of jewelry to wear all summer long! You can match it to your everyday outfits for a touch of color, or accessorize a festive outfit.
This tutorial is from our "Perlement vôtre" jewelry collection. It's an original collection that's a little bit special, as it features creations imagined and made by the five winners of our Cré'Académy 2024 creative competition. A perfect set of jewels to slip into your jewelry bag for the summer vacations!
To make this tutorial, accessible to ... Céline chose the color coral for the Linhasita thread and magenta faceted round beads to match the pink and coral Flamant Rose charm. To add nuance, she added Miyuki Duracoat 8/0 seed beads and 4mm opaque resin beads in pastel yellow hues. But this bracelet is also available in a multitude of wire and pearl colors. You can find some of them at the bottom of the page in the list of material variations. You can also find all our Linhasita 0.5mm wires on our website, as well as all our beads and our wide choice of charms to replace the pink flamingo.

Cut 6 linhasita wires 1m20 long and hang them with pliers or self-adhesive paper, leaving a 20 cm overlap.
Take the 2 middle wires and form two diagonals: one to the left and one to the right. Make macramé knots with the remaining strings on each guide wire.
Make an oblique rod to the left. The wires below the guide wire each knot twice around the guide wire. To the left here.
Next, make an oblique rod to the right. The two right-hand wires each knot twice around the guide wire to the right.
Close the rhombus in the same way, bringing the guide wires towards the center. Start with the right-hand side.
Then close the left side and continue the diagonal with the following threads. Insert a yellow miyuki bead
Take the left-hand thread and make a new oblique below the first.
Leave the last thread untied and start again in the other direction, making a new oblique. The threads underneath knot around them, moving to the left.
Take the right-hand thread left aside and follow the 1st oblique, creating a second oblique to the left.
Take the 3rd thread from the right and knot the other two to the right to form a new rhombus.
Close the diamond with the two guide wires, bringing them inwards, and insert a golden miyuki bead.
Reproduce the same diagram as at the beginning of the bracelet
Before starting again in the other direction with the guide wires (to the left), insert 5 golden miyuki beads on the 1st wire on the left.
Form the two diagonals to the left
Insert the beads in the following order: pale yellow - pink - gold - pink flamingo pendant to which a ring is attached - gold - pink - pale yellow on the 1st thread on the left.
On the 3rd thread from the left insert 3 gold beads - 1 thicker pale orange bead - 3 gold beads
On the right, tie the inner thread (2nd from the right) onto the outer thread, passing the inner over the outer, through the loop and then under and through the loop.
Repeat until 12 knots are obtained.
Create a new diagonal starting from the left (at the beads threaded with the pink flamingo).
When tying the last two threads, reverse the two from their natural order.
Insert a yellow miyuki bead at the end of the oblique and create a new oblique below it.
Finish the bracelet following the same pattern.
Thread the 2 center wires through a golden miyuki bead to finish and cut the remaining 4 wires flush.
Burn the wires.
Form a braid by turning the wires left on themselves between your fingers and crossing them to the right at the same time.
Add a golden miyuki bead to the end of the braid and burn the thread.
Make a small slip knot and burn the wires.
And here's the result!
