Project details:

This sea inspired bracelet has beautiful blues, earthy cord, and a little shimmer to catch a mermaids eye. These bracelets are easy to make with just a few items. I love to wear this bracelet it feels great on my wrist. I added a coconut bracelet layer to add even more of a beach vibe.

↓ Step-by-step

↓ Buy the supplies

Supplies you’ll need:

1 strand of 6 or 8mm Trolleite gemstones round (I used 6mm)
Tawny Linhasita cord
2 packs of 6 or 8mm twisted silver jump rings (pick the size that matches whatever gemstone size you choose)
1 Green Girl mermaid button
stretch cord
1 strand of Coconut beads
1 large hole bead

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1

Cut 24" of cord. Fold the cord in half. About 3" down tie an over hand knot to create a loop. Clip the cord down so it is easier to work with. Cut the cord ends at an angle to make them easily slide through the beads.

Step 2

Follow my images from left to right. Slide one bead onto the right cord, then slide on a jump ring over both cords. Then slide a bead onto the left cord. Slide another jump ring over both cords. Continue to alternate as shown.

Step 3

It should almost be a zig zag pattern when finished. Create an over hand knot at the end when the bracelet is long enough to fit you.

Step 4

Start doing a square knot with the two cord tails. Keep knotting until it is long enough to create a loop big enough to fit over the button.

See Tip: Tying the Square Knot

Step 5

Fold the square knot portion of the cord over to form a loop. Create two barrel knots to finish. Trim and burn the ends of the cord with a lighter to seal the knots.

Step 6

On the other end of the bracelet, feed the cord loop through the button loop. Create two barrel knots to finish. Trim and burn the ends of the cord with a lighter to seal the knots.
