These are so simple and look great. Add beads to get your own desired look or make it longer to create a necklace.

!!! Please read all the way through before trying this out (for there are extra instructions for beading). If you have any questions, please ask!!! =)

You Will Need (3 things)

  • Any kind of Bead(s)
  • Twine or any other string (I prefer twine)
  • Scissors

Steps (12 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    Cut 4 strands of twine that are the same lenght.

    (This will be for the inside of your bracelet. If you want it thicker, add more strands.)

  2. 2

    Now cut a strand that is about three times as long as the other strands. (You will use this strand to wrap around the others.)

    Note: the thicker your bracelet (aka- the more strands in your inside bracelet), the longer this string needs to be.

  3. 3

    Take your 5 strands and make them all even at the top, like so.

  4. 4

    Tie these into a knot (any kind of knot).

  5. 5

    Now, take your longest strand and pull it behind the others, as shown in the picture.

  6. 6

    Pull it around infront of the other strands and down through the hole as the picture shows.

  7. 7

    Tightly pull the knot you just made.

  8. 8

    Continue these knots (steps 5-7). The knots will naturally twist all the way around the bracelet.

  9. 9

    If you wish for beads, right before you make the knot, add the bead.

  10. 10

    Then just finish the knot shown in steps 5-7, only now with the bead. Pull tightly.

  11. 11

    Tighten this knot. Now you can continue with the knots shown in steps 5-7.

  12. 12

    When desired lenght is reached, make a sturdy knot at the end and cut off the excess twine. Then you can tie it to your beginning knot.
