You will need:
Approximately 18" of stringing cord, something to stop the beads falling off i.e. a bulldog clip, scissors and a selection of beads. I would suggest a mixture of:
6/0 seed beads, Letter beads, Heishi beads, Pearls or Bicone crystal but you can choose whichever you like from the home page
Step 1
Choose your selection of beads and arrange in the pattern you like. They should measure approximately 5-5.5" when laid out in a straight line
Step 2
Add a clip or a loose knot to the end of the string and add you beads. Push them to the center and leave plenty of string out to either side.
Step 3
Tie a knot at each end to secure the beads. Leave a tiny bit of "give" so the beads have some movement otherwise it will be stiff when worn. If you used a knot earlier to stop your beads falling off you can undo it now.
Step 4
Tie another loose knot at either end to for the beginnings of your adjustable knots. Try and get these as close to your beads as possible.
Step 5
Feed the loose end into the opposite loop knot you just created on either side and then tighten those knots.
Step 6
Slip the bracelet onto the widest point of your hand and take it off again being careful not to disturb the shape you have created.
Step 7
Add another knot to each loose end approximately an inch away from the slipknot on each side. Add another bead and knot to each side if you wish. It will look like this. Trim off the excess string and melt the ends with a lighter if necessary.
Step 8
Your bracelet is now finished so you can wear it with pride! Please see my instagram reel if you need a video tutorial here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C8ZWdHsMKyg/?igsh=MXB0ajZ4YzNrNHVycA%3D%3D
