Macramé earrings

1   Open the ear wire with pliers.

2   Cut an approx. 18 cm piece of macramé cord. Feed the cord through the loop and close the ear wire.

3   Cut eight macramé cords, each measuring approx. 12 cm for the leaf.

4   Place a doubled-over cord underneath the macramé cord attached to the ear wire.

5   Now place a doubled-over cord on top of the macramé cord as shown in the photo. Pull the ends to interlock the loops.

6   Repeat this procedure four times, using two macramé cords each time; i.e. a total of eight cords. Tighten.

7   Unravel the cords with a needle.
