Finally, you need instructions to get started. Under the Fiber Jewelry section of my site, you can find links to projects and sites that offer free instructions for some of the basic knots you will need to know. Also, there are links to suppliers that offer a variety of macrame books. You might even try looking in used book stores and your local library. I’ve managed to find a few old macrame books this way.

That’s really about all you need to get started making macrame jewelry. Besides your local craft store, you can find supplies for macrame from most bead shops and suppliers, which you'll find linked under Beading Supplies.
