Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1

Cut 3.5 meters of cord, placing an overhand knot in the middle. Begin stringing on your beads on one side. Knot in between each bead.
TIP - If you pull your next bead against the knot, it will secure the knot in place.

Tying a string in the middle of the cord so you can remember where each side starts for the counting of the beads as you string them on.

Step 4

Knot the Mandala in place and use burner to finish off the ends of the cord.
