Mountain Trails Knotted Bracelets

Project details:

I did a mix of two styles using the same beads and color palette. I love the earthy tones from the recycled cord and red creek jasper. The Java glass adds a sunlit glow and lightens this piece up. Below I list instructions for both designs, the products are the same.

↓ Step-by-step

↓ Buy the supplies

Supplies you’ll need:

Java glass in two colors
1 strand of Red creek jasper large hole rounds 2 strands if you are doing both bracelets.
Green Girl tree button
Patina green on copper hook and eye
Repeat cord 1mm (2 packs if making both bracelets)
burner
super glue

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1

For the twisted wrap bracelet: Cut one 10' piece of cord fold it in half. Then Cut one 5' piece of cord. Place the single piece in the middle of the folded piece. Create a knotted loop at the top big enough to fit the Green Girl button.

See Tip: Tying the Square Knot

Step 2

Start a square knot. Create 9-10 square knots to start. When making square knots always start from the same side every time, this will cause the twist.

Step 3

Slide a bead onto the middle cord. Bring the outer cords over the bead and create 3 square knots in between each bead. Continue until you get the bracelet long enough to wrap twice. Finish with 9-10 more square knots.

Step 4

Tie on the button and knot. Burn the knot to seal it with a lighter.

Step 5

To create the bracelet style in the second image: Cut three pieces of 2.5' of cord. Slide the beads onto each cord in the order show with a knot in between each bead.
