In this class I show you how to make two completely different macrame keyrings, one which is suitable for beginner crafters and one which is suitable for intermediate levels. We will cover macrame knots such as a Larks head knot (which is the most basic knot to attach cords to branches etc), double clove hitch knot and a wrapping/gathering knot which is a great knot to know if you want to make your own macrame plant hangers.

For the arrow design keyring (intermediate) you will need:

4 x 90cm lengths of cord (I'm using 3mm 3ply cord)
1 x 20cm length of cord for the wrapping knot
1 x 2cm keyring clasp
Scissors

And for the bead tassel keyring (beginner) you will need:

1 x 40cm length of cord (I'm using 3mm 3ply cord)
10 x 20cm lengths of cord (colours of your choice)
1 x 20cm length of cord for the wrapping knot
1 x 15mm wooden bead (optional)
1 x 2cm keyring clasp

I really hope you will love making these keyrings, they make great gifts for friends and family too! You can also use the knots that you learn in the video to create your own designs for keying, wall hangings, plant hangers etc.

Happy knotting!
