Macrame-Wrapped DIY Necklace Pendants http://www.livemaster.ru/topic/120556-opletenie-kaboshona-v-tehnike-makrame

If you want a fancy looking pendant and want sea glass or any round decorative stones, but don’t have the patience (or courage) to try wire wrapping them, this is a perfect alternative.

Using your usual macrame knots, wrap the circumference of the stone tightly. Make sure that the width of your knots can hold the stone in place. Learn how to make this here. (just use Google Translate.)

If you have irregularly shaped stones, you may opt to use the macrame method to make a net that will contain your stone inside. This will also be perfect for spherical beads or marbles.
