These Cute DIY Macrame Hoop Earrings Are Super-Easy to Make
Do you have some plain hoop earrings lying around? Why not transform them into something spectacular with this macrame hoop earrings tutorial!
You also don’t need many tools and materials to make these large macrame hoop earrings. Grab your cotton yarn and let’s get this transformation underway!
Tools and materials:
- Cotton yarn or cotton cording
- Hooped earrings
- Scissors
- Brush
- Glue
- Tape
1. Cut the yarn
Take your yarn and fold it back and forth. It should be 4 inches. Fold it five times, then cut the ends to have individual pieces. You should now have 10 pieces.
2. Split the yarn
Take each piece and pull it apart, so you have thinner strands. As you can see, I split mine in half and then in half again.
You don’t want it too thick as then it won’t look so great when you make the macrame hoop earrings.
3. Twist onto the earrings
Ok, here’s the fun part! Fold one piece of yarn in half and make a loop at the top. Take a loop and place it on your hoop earring.
Loop the two ends through the loop and pull the ends down tightly, so you have a nice strong knot.
Continue doing this until you have five of these tassels on each hoop.
4. Tie another piece
Now, take a contrasting colored yarn and cut it at 7-8 inches. Split it just as you did with the first colored yarn.
Now, don’t fold it evenly in half. It should have a short side and a longer side, as shown. When you loop it around your earring, make sure the long side is on the outer edge of the tassels.
Once you have looped in both pieces to both earrings, tape down the earrings before you proceed to the next step.
5. Do the macrame knotting process
Fold the long piece over your short piece.
Now, take the short pieces and pull it over the top through the loop to create a knot. Do this twice. Pull the yarn, so you have a nice tight knot.
Now, repeat this process on the next dangling piece of yarn. It may be a little hard to get it right the first time but after the second knot, you’ll get the hang of it! Remember to do it twice all the way through.
Continue the process and remember to knot each piece twice as you work your way through the DIY macrame hoop earrings.
6. Cut the ends
Once you're done, flip the hoop earring over and cut the ends, as shown.
Then, brush the tassels.
Cut the ends and put a little fabric glue to prevent any fraying.
