2 Row Tagua Nut Link Bracelet

Step 1

Begin your bracelet design by laying out the links where you want them to go. This is really helpful when you start linking up each piece with jump rings.

See Tip: Closing A Jump Ring

Step 2

Connect all the links in each row together. You should end up with 2 separate Tagua nut link chains.

See Tip: Closing A Jump Ring

Step 3

Create the jump ring chains that are used to connect the 2 rows of Tagua link chain together. Link together as follows:
1 ring - 2 rings - 2 rings - 2 rings - 1 ring
You will need to make 4 of these.

Step 4

The single ring on each end is what attaches to the etched jump ring between the links. Attach your newly made jump ring chains to the top side of the etched jump rings on the bracelet.

Step 5

Create a sliding square knot closure using leather cord. Make it independent from the bracelet, you will add it in at the end. You will need: 24" for your working strands, and 2 9" lengths for your core strands
Attach and secure 2 etched jump rings to the end of a working strand by using an overhand loop knot. Repeat on the other working strand.
Begin your square knot around the working strands, see the tip & technique on Using the Sliding Square Knot.

Step 6

Make a chain using the etched jump rings - 1 ring - 2 rings - 2 rings
Make this 4 times and attach the 1 ring end to each of the remaining ends of the links. Join the ends together to form a triangle attaching to the 2 jump rings on the sliding square knot clasp. Repeat at the other end.
