Description

Make brightly colored raffia looking charm bracelets using dollar store poly rope and a large charm or pendant.

Instructions

  1. Small bracelet 1

    Start with brightly colored poly rope.

  2. Small bracelet 2

    Cut a six-foot-long piece. Separate it into three strands.

  3. Small bracelet 3.5

    Criss cross two of the strands and begin tying lanyard knots. For help with lanyard knots, see my photo and video tutorial at http://www.examiner.com/article/how-to-make-a-lanyard-or-crown-knot-for-rope-necklaces

  4. Small bracelet 6jpg

    When your bracelet is long enough to go over your wrist, slide a jump ring with a charm attached over one strand.

  5. Small bracelet 7

    Glue an end cap to the other end. Add a jump ring and lobster clasp when dry.

  6. Small bracelet 8

    Trim the charm end. Fluff the rope strands to look like a raffia tassel.
