Steps (7 steps, 45 minutes)

1. 1

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

2. 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

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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)

6. 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

7. 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.
