Supplies you’ll need:

Chinese Knotting Cord
Large Tumbled Gemstone Nugget
Large Hole Rondelles

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1

Cut four 3' pieces of the Chinese knotting cord. Tie all four strands together in the center with an overhand knot. Divide the strings into pairs of two- so you'll have four pairs of 2 strings. In each pair, tie the two strings together.

Step 2

On the right side, separate the pairs into individual strands. Tie the center two together. Also on the left side, divide the strands so you have 4 individual strands. Tie each strand to the one next to it. Follow the arrows in the picture.

Step 3

Continue tying each strand to the one next to it until you have a pouch large enough for your gemstone.

Step 4

Place the gemstone into the pouch & tie a double knot on the top. Slide on a large hole rondelle and tie another knot. Separate the strands so you have four on each side & braid them together. To finish, tie the ends together. You can also add small silver large hole beads to the braid as your braiding.
