  Step 1

  Cut two pieces of cord, 1: 50cm/20 inch, 2: 150cm/60 inch / fold your 50cm cord in half

• 

  Step 2

  Tie the other piece around this using a regular knot to secure (making sure this is also halfway along the 150cm piece of cord)/ From now on I will be calling the 50cm piece the middle cords to hopefully make this process easier to understand

• 

  Step 3

  Take the right cord over the top of the middle two (50cm cord) / take the left cord over the top of the right cord (now on the left hand side of the middle two) and underneath the middle cords / Thread through the gap between the original right hand cord and the middle cords.

• 

  Step 4

  Pull both left and right cords gently apart until you create the knot around the middle two / Repeat this process but this time take the left cord over the middle two / take the right cord over the top of the left (now on the right hand side of the middle two) and underneath the middle two cords / Thread through the gap between the original left hand cord and the middle cords / Pull cords apart until the knot is tight.

• 

  Step 5

  Complete this action 5 times (3 for the right and 2 for the left) then thread one bead onto the middle cords / Knot again 5 times / add another bead / continue to do this until you have your desired length (Keep checking the size against your own wrist)/ Once you've got the right length glue the last knot in place and leave to dry (any multi-purpose glue will do)

• 

  Step 6

  Once the glue is dry cut off the two outer cords leaving the middle two intact / thread one last bead and knot your middle threads together creating a "stopper" for the last bead / Glue this knot to secure and when dry cut off any excess

• 

  Step 7

  Use the original loop in the middle cords to create a hook and eye style clasp with the last bead / Make with different size beads, cord and amount of knots between beads.
