Micro-Macrame Micro-Macrame differs from regular Macrame only because the thickness of the materials used is much finer. This includes the beads, pendants, and other decorations. The delicate cords used in Micro-Macrame are usually between 0.5mm and 2mm thick. When making handcrafted jewelry, controlling fine materials can be challenging. Be very sure you know how to tie all the Macrame Knots in the pattern, BEFORE trying to make the projects in this section of Free Macrame Patterns. Go to the Learn Macrame section, and practice the decorative knots until you are completely comfortable with them. Don't know what types of cord materials are suitable?
Make An Awesome Drop Spindle Drop spindles are an ancient tool for spinning fiber into yarn or thread. They've been around for a very long time and have changed little since their first invention. The first spindles weighted with whorls appeared as far back as the Neolithic era. A whorl is simply a weight that helps the spindle spin "better" before you have enough yarn on it to give it a little heft. These days you can buy a variety of types and styles in a range of prices and with a few notable exceptions they all work in essentially the same way. I learned to spin on bottom whorl spindle but tend to use top whorl spindles now. Spindles can be purchased in stores or online for anywhere from $15 or $20 on up to ...a lot. This will show you how to make a decent looking functional spindle for a few bucks.

uTorrent Download | Download uTorrent for Windows (Free) work bench | Britta Ambauen I’d like to introduce you to my new jewelry bench. It’s not just your ordinary order-online-and-assemble jewelry bench. No sir. This beauty was hand built from the ground up in an all-too-small wood shop by my boyfriend, Jeff Rogers. No more sawhorses and MDF for me! Let me tell you a bit more about how special this wooden wonder really is. I spend about 4-10 hours each day at my workspace… so this beautiful piece of furniture will surround me for somewhere in the vicinity of 20,000 hours (by my careful calculations), assuming I’m lucky enough to continue making jewelry for the next 30-40 years. For your countless hours of hard work and beautiful craftsmanship, Thank you Jeff.
