Earth Day Hemp Macrame Bracelet Tutorial

One 8" strand of 8mm large-hole gemstone beads is enough to make 3 bracelets just like this. In case dumortierite is out of stock, more gemstone ideas are linked below.

Designer Tips

For step-by-step instructions on how to macramé a bracelet with this pattern, see our blog article: How to Macrame a Hemp Bracelet.
Our original blog article is from 2013, and we wanted to make a fresh new bracelet for Earth Day, so we picked a TierraCast Earth button, large-hole Dumortierite gemstone beads, and the "Earthy Pastel" mix of hemp cord by Hemptique, and then followed our existing pattern. We're happy to report the instructions still work!
Michelle used blue for the center cord and the button loop, and green for the outer (knotting) cords.
