Supplies you’ll need:

ceramic rondelles
ceramic tubes
2mm leather cord
African batiked bone rondelles with stripes
Green Girl heart button

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1

Wrap the cord twice around your wrist.

Step 2

Image 1: Feed one cord end through the button. Image 2: Lay your left index finger on top of the longer cord. Start wrapping the working cord around your finger, moving to the left. The cord should wrap around the cord between your fingers, too. Image 3: Bring the cord around your finger two more times. Image 4: Slide the loops off your finger and bring the working cord down through all of the loops. Image 5 & 6: Pull both cord tails until the knot is very tight and doesn't slip. Trim off the short cord.

Step 3

Slide the beads on in the order shown.

Step 4

Fold the last 4" of cord end over to create a loop. Make sure it fits over your button. Create a barrel knot with the cord tail. Image 1: Create a loop; a shorter cord should cross over the beaded cord. Image 2: Lay your left finger on top of the beaded cord. Image 3: Start wrapping the shorter cord around your finger and the bottom cord, moving towards the left. Image 4: Wrap the shorter cord around two more times. Image 5: Slide the loops off your finger. Bring the short cord down through the loops. Image 6: Pull the short tail to tighten the cord. Make sure to bump the knot up to the beads nice and tight. If you feel the need, you can add a dot of gel-based glue to your knots, but you shouldn't have to if you pull them tight enough.
