1. How to Make a Macramé Bracelet
Meet Beth Pegler (@beth_pegler)! A jewelry designer from Sheffield, UK who began making jewelry as a hobby, but today sells her handmade accessories internationally. Her designs have also been featured in gallery exhibitions... We don't know where exactly, but we assume she isn't counting her sublease room as a gallery, or her friends coming over as an exhibition!
In this macramé tutorial, Beth teaches us how to use the decorative Josephine knot to create a bold and intricate-looking bracelet using simple techniques.
If you are a proficient macramé bracelet maker already, but Musée d'Orsay isn't answering your phone calls you can always invite some friends over to your private exhibition in your room...! Try not to make too much noise or your roommate might get jealous of your success in the fine art world and shut the whole thing down!

Learn how to make a macramé necklace from scratch with Carla Marin, textile artist and creator of the @fibrabohemia (bohemian fibre). Her brand was born in 2017, at a difficult time in my life...

Fibra Bohemia seeks to revive the art of knotting in a contemporary way using natural fibers, like cotton. Creating decorative macramé pieces and jewelry is Carla's passion! If I only knew in 2017...!
