Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: Fold the strings in half to end up with eight 32" long strands. Tie a knot about an inch from the top to for a loop. |
|
Step 2: Clip the loop to a clipboard or notebook. |
|
Step 3: Separate the strands and lay them out in the order shown in the picture. |
|
Step 4: Working from the left, tie an over/under double knot with string number 1 onto strings 2, 3, & 4, working left to right. It's important to remember to tie double knots. |
|
|
Step 5: Next, take string number 1 from the far right side and work towards the middle- tying double-knots right to left on strings 2, 3, and 4. You should end up with both number 1 strands in the middle. |
|
Step 6: Tie the two middle strands (number 1) together and pull the knots tight. |
|
|
Step 7: Repeat steps 4-6, making sure to always start with the outermost strings and work towards the middle. Keep going until the bracelet is as long as you'd like. |
|
Step 8: Tie a knot at the end and leave a 1-1.5" tail. At this point you can either tie the bracelet around your wrist by knotting the ends around the loop on the other end of the bracelet, or you can tie a button or a charm to the end, and slide it through the hoop. |
|
Step 9: *Optional* Using a needle & thread, I sewed on a piece of rhinestone chain to the bracelet. |
