- Semco Macrame Cord (Natural, Yellow, Dusty Rose, Grey, Aqua)
- Ribtex Snap Clasp with Square Base 40mm [JF2003]
- Hot Glue Gun & Glue Sticks

- Tape Measure
INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1 - Cut the Natural Cord into 4 lengths measuring 150cm, 120cm, 100cm, 80cm
Step 2 - With the 150cm length fold in half twice so that there are 4 lengths of cord - using the Yellow cord tie a knot approx. 5cm from the end of the combined lengths of natural cord and wrap tightly around creating a U shape as you go. Stop about halfway and thread the yellow cord through the snap clasp whilst wrapping round the natural cord, it should be wound the snap clasp twice to secure. Continue wrapping with the yellow in the U shape until you reach approx. 5cm from the other end
Step 3 - With the 120cm length fold in half twice so that there are 4 lengths of cord - using the Dusty Rose cord tie a knot approx. 5cm from the end of the combined lengths of natural cord and wrap tightly around creating a U shape until you reach approx. 5cm from the other end.
Step 4 - Repeat Step 3 with 100cm length using Grey cord and 80cm length using Aqua cord
Step 5 - Put all the 4 lengths together and adjust/shape into a rainbow. Use a hot glue gun to secure each color to one another as well as the knotted ends of the colored cords - start from Aqua following with Grey, Dusty Rose then Yellow
Step 6 - Trim the Natural cord ends and fray as desired
Tip - This is a great project for leftover macrame cord and there are so many beautiful color combinations to choose from. You can also embellish the rainbow with gems, joggle eyes, beads or cut out foam pieces to make uniquely yours.
