How to Make a Woven Ornament
We love the woven ornaments so we wanted to share them with you, even if you cannot make it to Art Club in person. You can use one, two or three colors to create this ornament made of knots around a wooden ring. It looks like a wreath when it's finished.
I show you how to use three colors, how to add a tassel and extras like bells and beads.
- Supplies needed (suggested items are linked below):
- - 3" wooden ring (https://amzn.to/4a3EgvJ)
- - 3 mm macrame cord (https://amzn.to/4gvhors)
- - twine or jute
- - scissors
- - comb
- - optional bells and wooden beads (https://amzn.to/4iUHqGe)
Supplies recommended are shared are through my Amazon Affiliate link so I can get a small commission with no cost to you. These supplies are what I use and would continue to use based on my experience.

How to Make a Twisted Square Knot Bracelet
How to make a twisted square knot friendship bracelet, plus:
- how to make twisted, decorative ends (3:25)
- an easy and fast way to string beads onto the ends (4:25)
- how to make an adjustable closure (5:25)
TIPS:
- I used 2 colors of embroidery floss (fuchsia and ombre' golden yellow), 2 strands of each color to make 4 total strands.
- You can use 1 strand per color for a thinner bracelet or more per color for a thicker bracelet.
- Each string is approximately 40" long.
- I start my bracelets with a loop...after lining up the ends, fold the strings leaving about 10"-12" at one end then the rest on the other side so it is uneven.
- Create a loop using an overhand knot. The long lengths are for weaving the knots around the shorter strand that is taped or secured down.
- I use the loop to make an adjustable closure.
- I also like using a safety pin to secure it, which is optional.
Enjoy!
