If you want to make a great handmade gift but do not have much money to spend on supplies, then you can make knot jewelry which is still great. So, instead of buying wires, beads, precious metals and other jewelry supplies, you can just buy some macrame cord to make creative, handmade knot jewelry. There are many different types of cord that are suitable for making knot jewelry and you can easily find them in craft stores such as JoAnn, Hobby Lobby or Michael’s Craft Stores. The cord may come in different styles and thickness so you will be able to make different types of knot jewelry with them.
