You have a nice donut bead/stone and want to wear it as a pendant but do not know how to present it better? Today I will show how to make a Cat Claw Knot .

Macrame owl tutorial, in Russian, but since it is 95% visuals, the language doesn't matter. This design has the interesting features of: (a) tufty owl ears, (b) the wings are joined to the body with half-hitches over multiple cords, (c) the binding for the tail is done with whipping rather than square knots or half-hitches. This makes it a bit more uniform.

This tutorial shows how to wrap a stone or a cabochon with macrame. This is using the "looping technique", where a braid of square knots is made with loops on either side, and then the cord is threaded through the loops and tightened to hold the cabochon in place. This method is versatile, because one can change the size of the loops to capture larger or more irregular stones. This tutorial itself is rather long, probably longer than it needs to be. It covers not only the cabochon-wrapping, but three different methods of finishing off the pendant/necklace as well.
