Adjustable Macrame Bracelet with the Beadalon Tying Station

Our last Facebook Live for the celebration of Craft Month featured one of my favorite go-to designs when I need to get my creative juices flowing again. It brings me back to my childhood crafting days, but with a grown up twist. In fact, the Beadalon Acrylic Tying Station came about because I was making macrame bracelets in the office using a clip board, and the product development team (that I eventually became a part of) knew that we could develop a tool to make making knotted bracelets easier!

Top reasons that I love the Tying Station:

1. It allows for hands-free macrame knotting.
2. It holds your design tight without crushing your stringing material.
3. You can use it for other techniques - like this braided wire bracelet and this ladder stitch wrap bracelet. 
4. The ruler printed on the side gives you a measuring device at the ready and helps you space out your beads in your design.
5. The included foam insert allows for making a longer piece like a necklace or wrap bracelet.
6. The space in the middle makes it easy to get your fingers under the center cords. 

I really like making sliding bracelets because they work up easily and really quickly, use just a few beads, and can be put on and taken off without a clasp.
