Each art is unique and each one imposes its own style, particularly with macramé, which is the art of making knots with threads.

From my pedagogical point of view, making these bracelets helps to reinforce the development of different cognitive, psycho-motor and emotional aspects, since the process involves important factors such as: attention, discipline, constancy, fine motor skills, laterality, direction, correspondence term to term, motivation, among others.

Each bracelet is a challenge at the moment of making it, that's why I like, apart from combining the colors I want, deciding what kind of weave it will have and the length it will have, it produces in me a sensation of peace and tranquility, as it happens when I am painting.

🧡 Red and white bracelet | Macramé

Materials:

3 white threads of 1,50 cms long.

3 red threads of 1,50 cms long.

(they can be of any material you choose).

Base to hold with its clamp

Scissors.

Tinder or lighter.

Elaboration Process

1) I joined the 6 threads at one end with a knot leaving 10 cms towards the ends.

2) Press the threads of the knot upwards with the clamp of the board (if you don't have clamp or board, look for something heavy that does the same function).

3) I started by making the S knot (simple knot) with the color of your choice, you must take all the threads of the same color to make a single knot over the other.

4) In this way, the knots should be assembled by color and thickness.

5) When I finished with the desired size to the wrist of the hand, I finished with a knot joining all the threads.

6) I then joined the two knots at the beginning and at the end to cut the remaining threads to the same size.

7) Finally, I made the union knot or slip knot of the bracelet, I placed the 6 threads on one side and the 6 on the other one on top of each other, leaving the opposite ends, I pressed them with the clamp but if you don't have it, it is not a problem. Then with a 15 cm thread of the color of your choice I joined the threads and began to make S or simple knots, as many as I thought necessary.
