Have you heard of the trendiest motif of the moment? The philodendron (or monstera) leaf! We love this motif, which can be found in decor, fashion and costume jewelry. Here's an easy tutorial to make your own summer bracelet! Turquoise C-LON nylon thread, a few macramé knots, a golden philodendron spacer and a yellow pompom and you're all set!
In this step-by-step guide, you'll learn how to make a simple braceletusing basic macramé knots. Easy to make, you can have fun creating several of them, which will look great on your wrist.

Cut two 20 cm strands of nylon aqua thread. Make two larkspur knots at each ring of the philodendron spacer.
Again, cut two 40 cm strands of nylon aqua thread. On one side, tie a knot on the two strands tied in a lark's head knot on the spacer, and start making a series of overhand knots. Watch our video to learn the 11 basic macramé stitches and our data sheet to learn how to make a lark's head knot.
Make approximately 3 cm of flat knots (depending on your taste, you can make fewer flat knots or, on the contrary, make the whole bracelet in flat knots). To help you, you can use masking tape to attach the bracelet to a table and make the knots.
Using an open ring, hang a yellow pompom from one end of the spacer. Cut the pompom to the desired length.
To finish your bracelet, brush the ends of the nylon strands with jewelry glue. Then place both strands in a lace clip, which you close with a pair of pliers. Repeat on the other end of the bracelet. Next, add an open ring to each end with pliers, and on one end, add the spring clasp.
