Earth Day Hemp Macrame Bracelet Tutorial
One 8" strand of 8mm large-hole gemstone beads is enough to make 3 bracelets just like this. In case dumortierite is out of stock, more gemstone ideas are linked below.

Designer Tips
- For step-by-step instructions on how to macramé a bracelet with this pattern, see our blog article: How to Macrame a Hemp Bracelet.
- Our original blog article is from 2013, and we wanted to make a fresh new bracelet for Earth Day, so we picked a TierraCast Earth button, large-hole Dumortierite gemstone beads, and the "Earthy Pastel" mix of hemp cord by Hemptique, and then followed our existing pattern. We're happy to report the instructions still work!
- Michelle used blue for the center cord and the button loop, and green for the outer (knotting) cords.
