HOW DO YOU MAKE THESE MACRAME FEATHER EARRINGS?
First, measure and cut your cord. You need 2 lengths of around 4.5inches each.
Then, you need 8 lengths of 3.5inches. ( this is for one pair of earrings)
To make one earring, take one of the 4.5inch cords and put it through the jump ring, and make sure the two ends are together.
Now use 2 cords of 3.5-inch length to make the next knot. Place one cord folded in half underneath the cord attached to the jump ring.
After that, using the other folded cord, put the loop into the two ends of the other cord, and vice versa.
Please refer to the pictures, it can be a little hard to explain this in words!
Pull both ends out and the two cords should form a knot on the middle cord. Pull tight.
Do the same with 2 more cords.
Take a brush and brush out the cords. Trim the cords with scissors in the shape of a feather.
Open the jump ring slightly, put the earring hook in and close it. That’s it! One earring is ready!
Make one more earring and your first pair of feather earrings are ready!!
That was easy, wasn’t it?? Now make a whole lot for yourself or for your friends and family!!
NOTES:
3 mm cord is quite thick, I think 2 mm would be perfect for these.
Trimming the fringes does take a while. My recommendation would be to have a template in the shape of a feather or leaf. Use the template to cut out the feather shape. Especially if you are making a whole lot, a template would make it much easier and consistent.
Be careful while brushing out the fringes, if the brush catches one of the threads of the knot, it could untangle the cord and you might have to redo it.
You could make them longer by adding more cords.
Another way of making these earrings would be to add different colored cords or shades of one color cord. That would look really pretty.
