A wall hanging is a great way to showcase these gemstone nuggets. I used quartz & different colors of hemp for the macrame. You can also add tassels, strands of crystals & gemstones, shells, or anything else you can think of to make a unique decoration for your home!
Begin by making the macrame pouches. Cut four 4-5' pieces of the Chinese knotting cord. Tie all four strands together in the center with an overhand knot. Divide the strings into pairs of two- so you'll have four pairs of 2 strings. In each pair, tie the two strings together.
On the right side, separate the pairs into individual strands. Tie the center two together. Also on the left side, divide the strands so you have 4 individual strands. Tie each strand to the one next to it. Follow the arrows in the picture.
Continue tying each strand to the one next to it until you have a pouch large enough for your gemstone.
Place the gemstone into the pouch & tie a double knot on the top. Slide on a large hole rondelle and tie another knot.
You'll want to make two pouches holding 1 stone each, two holding 2 stones, and one holding 3 stones. To make the pouches holding multiple stones, just repeat steps 1-3, except split the strands into the four groups of 2 from the knot you tied above the rondelle in step 4.
Using jump rings or wire, hang tassels & smaller gemstone pendants from the bottom of the pouches. To finish, tie the remaining string from the pouches into a knot around the branch & trim the excess. I put a dot of glue on the knot to make sure it's secure. To hang the branch, tie two strands of the natural hemp around the ends of the branch.
