Step 1: Cut 20 pieces of cord eight inches in length, and set aside. Cut one piece of cord about 20 inches in length. Fold the long piece in half and tie a knot below the fold, leaving a two inch loop at the top. String the cord ends through the bead, and pull the bead up to the knot. This will be the center piece of your tree. Step 3: Make your second branch by tying the same knot, but this time putting the bottom loop to the right and top loop to the left. Step 11: Attach a strand of 80 cm cord onto each of the far-right and far-left cords with an RLHPHH. It can even be kid-friendly too! If you are looking for a thoughtful Christmas gift handmade with love, then this Christmas tree ornament may be right for you.

Step 4: Repeat the knots with the remaining pieces of cord, alternating the sides of the loops with each branch. Step 8: Attach a strand of 120 cm cord onto the far-right cord with a Reverse Lark's Head Plus Half hitch (RLHPHH). Step 2:Attach two strands of 160cm cords onto the right-side and two strands on the left-side with Lark's Head knots. Step 4: Take the second cord from the right and make a Vertical Lark's Head knot onto the far-right cord. Repeat the same on the left-side.In this project, you’ll find the lark’s head knot, vertical lark’s head knot, double half-hitch knot, berry knot (which is made up of a few square knots), reverse lark’s head plus half hitch, and the gathering knot. If you are new to macramé, we recommend learning with a macramé starter kit, like our Kami Wall Hanging kit And if you're inspired to try more projects, don't miss our round-up of brilliant small macrame project ideas. What is macrame ? Step 5:With the middle four cords, make a Berry knot with two consecutive Square knots. With the first square knot, leave about 1cm space the square knot – this is for weaving the middle two anchor cords through. If you’re not into beads, you could leave them out altogether. Considering the size of this project, we’ve incorporated quite a few different knots, so this is also a great way to learn and get comfortable with new types of knots. I incorporated pearl beads into the design as little ornaments on the tree, but you can replace this with wooden beads or any other type of bead you like.

Step 10: Repeat the same side pattern as above, starting with the third cord from the right. Start with one DHH knot, thread through a bead, and close with one more DHH knot. Repeat on the left.

The best part is, it doesn’t take too much time to make since it’s fairly small and it will make the perfect Boho-style accessory for any Christmas tree. I used the Natural & Gold Shimmer single strand cotton cord from our Rainbow line for this tutorial. When working with cord spun with metallics, the metallics do come apart quite easily. Step 1: Cut 16 pieces of cord eight inches in length. Take one piece of cord and create a larks head knot around the wood ring by folding the piece in half, putting the loop through the center of the ring, and pulling the ends of the cord through the loop.
