Step 1

Measure and cut two 72" [182.88 cm] length and 24" [60.96 cm] length from one colour of crafting cord.

Step 2

Tie a double overhand knot about 6" [15.24 cm] from one end of your 24" [60.96 cm] cord. This will be your base for centre cords.

Step 3

Tape the cord to your working space, above the knot.

Step 4

Align the two 72" [182.88 cm] cords evenly and then find the centre by folding it in half; tie it onto the centre cord.
TIP: The two cords on the left side will be (A) and the two cords on the right side will be (B).

Step 5

Bring the A cords up and place cross the centre cords horizontally in front and over the B cords, making a loop on the right side of the centre cords.

Step 6

Now, take the ends of the B cords across the centre cords and through the loop on the right side. You now have a shape resembling the infinity sign.

Step 7

Grasp the ends of both sides and tighten the knot over the centre cords. The knot will work up to the top.
TIP: Your A cords are now on the right and B cords are now on the left.

Step 8

Repeat Steps 5-7 until you reach the desired length of your bracelet.

Step 9

Tie a double overhand knot just below your last paracord knot. Add a dab of glue at the top of the excess strands just as they come out of the knot. Let dry.

Step 10

Make a second overhand double knot about ½" [1.27 cm] from the previous knot. To close, push the last double knot through the loop at the other end of your bracelet.
