Instructions in 5 steps Knot the green waxed cord bit by bit. Put the golden decorative element in the middle of th bracelet.

Besides the articles listed below, you also need: Scissors, toothpick

And this is how it works:

Step 1

Cut out 2 × 60 cm of the wax cord and pull out the nylon thread. Thread a 60cm long cord into the eyelet of the ornament by using the needle to thread beads. Remove the needle and knot the cord so that one side is 17cm long. Tie the knots with the long cord, see step 1 and 2.

Step 2

Repeat it continuously until 5cm have been achieved (wavy knots). Thread the long cord and the remaining short cord one after another through a crimp bead by using the needle to thread beads and fix it after the last knot by using flat pliers. Cut out the short cord. Create the other side as well. At the end, cross the both cords and attach it with a slipknot - Step 3.

Step 3

Please note that the bracelet fits your hand. Thread a crimp bead onto the both ends, then thread it back through the crimp bead and form a loop. At a distance of 2cm, fix the crimp bead next to the slipknot. Cut out the rest and midway the loop which you have to pull apart with a tooth pick or a blunt needle and then trim thus formed tassel.

Step 4

Thread the fitting bracelet with Rocailles on the Magic Stretch and close it with a safety knot. Hang up the Rocailles threaded on a prism pin by using the punches for the jewellery or append the metallic pendant and the tassel with ringlets.
