Step 1

First, cut two 8" [20.32 cm] pieces of Stretch Magic® jewelry cord.

Step 2

Remove one hammered circle link.
TIP: Be sure to get one silver link with the smaller mixed metal “charms” hanging from the jump ring on one side.

Step 3

Attach a stretch cord on each side of the silver link with a lark’s head knot. Allow the two smaller hammered charms to hang off the side.
TIP: To make a lark’s head knot, fold the cord in half. Thread the ends through a loop on one side of the link. Wrap the ends back up and over the outside of the silver loop and through the bend of the cord. Pull tight so the fold is flush against the loop.

Step 4

Thread beads onto the stretch cord on both sides until you reach the desired length for your bracelet.

Step 5

Tie the Stretch Magic® cord ends together into a tight surgeon’s knot, add a dab of bead stringing glue to the knot and then trim the ends close to the knot. Set aside to dry.

Step 6

Now, cut a 10" [25.4 cm] length of Stretch Magic® jewelry cord for each bracelet you would like to make.

Step 7
Repeat Steps 4-5 to complete your bracelet stack.
TIP: Use a bracelet design board to design each bracelet.
