📿PULSERAS PARA PRINCIPIANTES [APRENDE 2 TEJIDOS BÁSICOS DEL MACRAMÉ] PASO A PASO.

Overview

This video is a beginner-focused macramé jewelry tutorial (bracelets). It teaches two core macramé techniques using similar materials:

1. A flat knot / square-knot macramé bracelet with a sliding knot clasp, optionally decorated with acrylic charms/beads.
2. A spiral knot / “DNA knot” bracelet, also made with macramé, decorated with a bead and finished with a sliding knot.

The creator emphasizes:

• Practicing repeatedly
• Measuring thread lengths for proper sizing
• Securing/finishing ends by cutting and burn-sealing with a lighter

Artistic techniques & creative concepts

Core weaving styles

• Macramé weaving with flat/square knots
  • Built by repeating knots to form a flat bracelet strip
• Sliding knot closure
  • A functional, adjustable clasp made with a short separate thread
• Spiral knot / DNA-knot weaving
  • Worked on one side only to create the spiral texture

Customization / personalization

• Adding acrylic letter/initial charms
• Adding heart/Fimo-style charms
• Using beads (notably around 4 mm) at the bracelet ends

Thread management (tension & symmetry)

• Measure to match left/right lengths
• Use a tape/ribbon and a board/clip to keep base threads taut while weaving

Finishing technique

• Cut excess threads
• Burn-seal ends to prevent fraying

Materials & tools (as presented)

Thread options

• Chinese thread (example thickness: ~0.8 mm; also mentioned around 1 mm for thicker/men’s styles)
• Rat-tail cord (example thickness: ~1 mm)
• Mentions you can use Chinese or Korean thread

Tools

• Lighter (to burn-seal ends)
• Scissors
• Ruler or measuring tape
• Board (recommended; sold in stationery stores)
• Tape (or adhesive tape) to secure threads
• Clips/ribbon to hold threads and aid weaving

Decorations

• Beads (notably 4 mm)
• Optional acrylic charms
  • Letters/initials
  • Hearts
  • Fimo/smiley-style charms

Step-by-step processes

A) Flat knot / square-knot bracelet (optional charm + bead ends)

1) Prepare threads

• Two base threads: ~40 cm each
• Working thread (long): ~150 cm
• Sliding clasp thread: ~25 cm

2) Set up

• Tie the two 40 cm threads together with a double knot at one end.
• Burn-seal the knot end carefully, then “sharpen” so the fibers sit close.
• Add a 4 mm bead near the first end (optional placement described).
• Secure the workspace with a board/tape and place a ribbon to hold threads while weaving, leaving about 6–7 cm of working space at the end.
• Center the 150 cm thread under the base threads and pass threads through the center loop to begin knotting.

3) Weave the bracelet (flat/square knot)

• Repeat the figure-four flat knot pattern:
  • Left: form figure-four, pass through the loop, pull tight
  • Right: repeat figure-four formation
• Continue until the bracelet reaches the desired length (example target: 13–14 cm).

4) Optional: insert an acrylic charm mid-way

• If final length is ~14 cm, weave to about half (~7 cm).
• Insert the charm through the base threads (threading through both sides).
• Secure with tape, tighten neatly around the charm, then continue weaving to full length.

5) Finish the bracelet body

• Detach from the work surface, remove tape, and cut excess threads.
• Burn and seal cut ends carefully with a lighter.
• Repeat decoration on the opposite side:
  • Add another 4 mm bead
  • Tie an end knot (described as a double knot, referencing a “Franciscan knot” from a previous tutorial)
  • Burn-seal excess threads

6) Make the sliding knot clasp

• Use the 25 cm thread.
• Fold/position base threads and secure with tape.
• Start with a flat-knot pattern to create an adjustable sliding section:
  • Make about 6–7 knots
• Cut excess and burn-seal.
• Check that the clasp opens/closes properly.

B) Spiral knot / “DNA knot” bracelet (bead ends + sliding knot)

1) Prepare threads

• Two base threads: ~40 cm each
• Working thread (long): ~150 cm
• Sliding clasp thread: ~25 cm

2) Set up

• Attach the base threads to a board (optionally using a hook and a stationery clip) to keep them taut.
• Level threads so lengths match.
• Place the working thread in the middle underneath the base threads so both sides are aligned and equal.
• Example starting point: weave around 7–8 cm before the spiral form becomes obvious.

3) Weave the spiral

• Create the spiral using flat-knot-like moves on only one side (example starts on the left exclusively).
• Continue until you reach the desired bracelet length.
• Tip: periodically rotate/turn the work to make weaving easier and help keep the pattern even.

4) Finish

• Cut excess threads and burn-seal ends.
• Decorate the other end similarly:
  • Burn-seal and knot to create a pointed end (for easier bead placement)
  • Form a double knot, then trim/burn-seal

5) Sliding knot clasp

• Use the 25 cm thread.
• Form the sliding knot using about 7–8 flat knots on one side (as described).
• Trim and burn-seal.
