Macrame Tutorial-How to Wrap a Cabochon

Turn on sound for explanation!
This is my favorite way to wrap a stone. In the end you are left with no stray cords so you can freely attach any cords of your choosing.
I made this wrap with waxed polyester Linhasita cord but you can use any material you'd like.

Wow! I love everything about it. I’ve tried it at least 5-6 times now and there is always something about it that is messed up. Started to get frustrated then remembered this is something I want to enjoy and learn and failures are very welcome. It helped a lot that u shared that it took you some time as well to be so good at it! Thank u for this helpful tutorial and your beautiful energy

[@flatchat4090]

This has to be the most clear tutorial I have found so far. I have been looking at other tutorials and thinking I would never be good enough to even try. Thank you 🙏

[@NarwhalPLURR]

I like that you're explaining why you do things and how you do it because everything with knots is important.

[@rhicrystallized4397]

I'm a visual learner and I also love to listen to the explanation. I know it makes a huge difference. I try so hard to put in to terms every knotter will understand. I'm so happy you find it helpful!

[@rvalasini9938]

Def the best and clearest tutorial on wrapping. Would really like to see you do more videos. :). Tank you

[@michaelaraskova8838]

This is exactly what I wanted to know and see... Beginning is a little bit easy but the end of wraping is such a big problem for me.. Now it is obvious. Thank you!

[@earthsoul9454]

BEST tutorial on wrapping a cab!! thank you so much!!!

[@yvonnemcgrory5404]

that was the best showing of how to wrap a cabochon that i have found thank you

[@PaulineEvanosky]

What a great teacher you are! I hope to make lots of beautiful pieces. Thank you.

[@Pamelicious1971]

I do like that you explain what you're doing, that's great, however I would have liked the camera positioned so we could see what you are doing with the stone and pins at the beginning. But yes the dialogue is great and the visual of the string and knitting is great also.

[@susanquaiattini5229]

Thank you for the video! You explain it perfect. I will have to slow down the video, because I am a beginner :) Macrame is harder than I thought!

[@rhicrystallized4397]

I'm glad my video can help you! I know for future reference I should slow my knotting down, I honestly didn't realize how fast I am! Once you get the hang of the few basic knots, macrame is easy peas, it's just the learning curve. Let me know if I can help you any more :)

[@earthsoul9454]

I used to think it was really hard too Susan, I'm still learning but noticing it definitely gets easier as you learn some of the basic knots and practice. 2 months ago I tried wrapping cabs and gave up, too fiddly and too hard!!!! Today I started trying again and doing much better. All the best!!! :)

[@Tendri.l]

This was very helpful!! I'm so happy I finally found this video, I've been trying to figure out what to do with the few cords at the top. Thank you so much😁

[@michaellapeterson6926]

Great video! So helpful. Way better than the way I learned how to do it lol. You explain perfectly! Can't wait to wrap my ocean jaspers. Thank you! :D

[@rhicrystallized4397]

You're so welcome!! I'm glad you found my tutorial helpful! :)

[@Manu52498]

oh thank you so much for this video... u have saved all my 3 beautiful Stones lying in my drawer. I will definitely make all of them wearable. thanks.😍😍😍😘

[@criskantor4925]

WOW!! Excited to try, thank you!

[@MojcaaCej]

Thank you for your time! How we know how long cord do we need for the stone? 😊

[@elizabethwest7862]

Thank you for your video

[@kimzibresky1559]

I learned this method a few months back and I'm now seeing that if I try (not even too hard), I can slip the stone out of the wrap. I feel like I can't tie anything tighter and I'm stumped on what could possibly be creating this problem for me. If you have any input I'm all ears :)

[@ryleep8369]

Did you figure it out ??? Because I'm struggling with this 🤣

[@katywillis5286]

Hi! Fab tutorial, but what size cord are you using? 1 mm?

[@caniblekitty]

thank you for explaining this so well :)

[@Gehbar]

Can you please comment on your thread.. is it a .8? is it waxed? Cotton or nylon. Thank you smooch for you time and for sharing :)

[@eveninglakegems9410]

What mm size cord are you using? Please.

[@valeriepaquier9483]

I will try ...i love it Thanks for your explicitement

[@SukumariLakshmanan-tm3qy]

Good

[@lydiabanovac9221]

Loved this tutorial, thank you! Would you(or anyone) happen to know how I would make the attachment so it can be made into a pendant ? The loop bit if that makes sense 😅!? I can't find that part anywhere 😣

[@earthsoul9454]

I know its not a wrapped cabachon in the video but I learned from this video how to make the bale (loop) and adapted it to the end of my cab :)

[@nicolelevasseur3543]

Search how to make a macreme bezel.

[@MoonlitDaisiesDesigns__]

is there any way to macrame a loop for a necklace? please let me know ! thanks !

[@rhicrystallized4397]

There is a few ways to go about making a loop! In this tutorial I cut off all the cords so I can attach cords at my leisure. So here what I would do is add 4-6 cords to the top of the cabochon wrap and continue on with the necklace loop. :)

[@lilibrade3062]

This is beautiful!

[@namid3615]

How long do the strings have to be to make a necklace after?

[@Pennyrdi1]

Does the cord need to be waxed?

[@ΧρύσαΑφ]

can a stone be too slim to do this? i have a stone that is 2mm thick. i tried to wrap it like that and it;s slipping through...

[@bythelakemassagetherapy-rm2238]

How do you know how long to make cords in relation to size of the stone especially a slab of agate for example

[@klauspopelkopf1675]

nice

[@rubymagalian449]

Very helpful :)

[@NovellaCicconeGdscreazioni]

Thanks so much for this video!! don't you burn the threads?

[@rhicrystallized4397]

You're welcome! Yes, at the very end after I tuck the threads in to the back of the stone, after I tie them all together. I burn the very edges of the frays. :)

[@NovellaCicconeGdscreazioni]

Do you burn only 4 thread on the back of the stone? don't you burn the two threads that you/they remain on the before of the stone?

[@rhicrystallized4397]

You see on the back, after you pull the two cords through the back? I burn the frayed edges off of those once I cut them off. so it would be the three cords hanging upwards. Do you see what I mean? it's a little hard to explain. Let me know if you need more clarification!

[@miriampalmer-golembiewski8483]

What is the name of the cord you used, and is it .5 m or 1m?

[@annaliciarojas]

thanks youu, awesome

[@宵祭-u3g]

Please tell me the clutches of the charge account collar.

[@kayleighevans2828]

Stull couldnt do it 😢

[@mariagraziabolcato5167]

bravissime vorrei tanto essere brava come te

[@berthamellinger3129]

how do you measure the cord

[@lucylouisesmith6272]

For someone just starting macrame jewelry and understanding the concept " and then you just start criss crossing" I have never rewound and rewatched a clip so many times my brain just doesn't get it..... I will get there ahha

[@abbytaylor5123]

How do you figure out the length of string you need to use? :))

[@rhicrystallized4397]

For this tutorial, I only cut my two holding cords a little longer than the diameter of the stone. The working cord is about one and a half times my one arm span. For this kind of wrap, you only need just enough cord to knot and secure the wrap since you'll be cutting the excess off :)

[@vietnamesepronounce8154]

I’m collecting crystals like fancy cars 🚗.

[@MGarciareporting]

This is awesome but it's wayyyyy to fast for me. I'm trying to catch up with you and see which cord you're pulling. Do you have a slower pace version. You're great by the way!

[@rhicrystallized4397]

Now I know for future videos to slow down a bit, I didn't realize I went so fast! I apologize! If you click on the settings of the video, there is an option to slow it down so you can view it more clearly. :)

[@MGarciareporting]

That was very helpful! Thanks!

[@rhicrystallized4397]

You're welcome! Let me know if you have any other questions :)

[@taherehsamadi172]

👍👍⚘⚘

[@kookymo6184]

ماشاء الله جميله انا مش عرفه هتعرفى كلامى ولا لاء انا من مصر

[@elementalpedia]

Slowing down would be beneficial to learning how to do it. We cant see what your doing if your whipping through it.

[@taherehsamadi172]

⚘⚘

[@bernadettek4104]

you go too fast, for a beginner I need it shown slower, I can't tell when you go under or over

[@rhicrystallized4397]

I apologize! If you click the settings button on the video, there is a speed option which you can change to make the video play slower so you can follow better. :) If you need any more help please feel free to ask!

[@nackiestv7024]

What cord you use mam?
