DIY Macrame Flower Keychain (Video Instructions)
Supplies
For this floral key holder, we used two colors: red and natural, but you can use any colors you prefer. This is a sustainable, premium-quality cordage, made of 100% hemp fiber, and it is offered in 18 different solid and variegated colors, with or without glitter, metallic thread, or even Glow in the dark hemp cord (1mm thick). Here, we used a 1.8mm thick string, but you can optionally use 0.5mm diameter or 1mm diameter. The reason why hemp is such a great material for macrame projects is because it’s flexible and very gentle on hands while remaining strong and very durable, making your handicraft pieces long-lasting.
For the floral keychain, before you start working on the craft, you will need to cut 2 pieces of red hemp cord (5 feet long each) and you will also need to cut 1 piece of natural hemp cord measuring 3 feet.
- 3 beads of choice (make sure the hole inside the beads is large enough for the cord to pass through)
- A pair of sharp scissors to cut the cordage.
- Any type of keychain you will use for knotting the design around.
- Measuring tape or ruler to measure the length of cords.

Take 4 middle cords (2 pieces of red and 2 pieces of natural color) and tie a square knot.

Take two pieces of red cord on the left and make 4 lark’s head knots.
STEP 4
Now repeat the same with the two pieces of red cord on the right.
STEP 5
Take a bead of your choice and slide it onto the 2 cords in the middle (natural color).
STEP 6
If your bead is the same length as the four knots on the sides, skip right to step number 8.
STEP 7
Secure the bead in place by tying a square knot with the 4 cords in the middle.
STEP 8
You have now completed the first flower.
STEP 9
Complete steps 3 to 5 a few more times until you have made 3 flowers.
STEP 10

Learn Why Hemp Fiber Makes the Best Cord for Macrame Crafts
Over the past few years, the art of macrame has become quite popular. Macrame crafters use different types of cord materials, such as cotton or jute, but hemp surpasses the other materials with its exceptional quality, sustainability, and versatile properties.
Hemp is known as a remarkably strong fiber that will ensure the longevity of your handicraft pieces.
Although it is quite strong, hemp is also very flexible and easy to work with. It will not be hard on your hands, and you will be able to complete even the most intricate designs with hemp cord.
One of the reasons why hemp is favorite among macrame artists is because it is available in a lot of different colors, enhancing each color’s brilliance. If you choose products from eco-conscious manufacturers like Hemptique, the colors used will be AZO-free and you will be making a good impact on the environment.
Another great hemp feature is that it is very gentle on skin, so even individuals with sensitive skin can use it without fear it will cause unwanted side effects.
100% hemp cordage is a biodegradable and earth-friendly product that contributes to planet Earths greener future.
