Step 1

For the Perler® stretch bracelet, cut a 20" [50.8 cm] of stretchy cord.

Step 2

Slide two Perler® beads onto the elastic cord. Take the working end of the cord and thread it through the bottom of the first bead and pull tight. The second bead should move to be parallel to the first brick stitch.

Step 3

Add another Perler® bead. Thread the cord back through the bottom of the adjacent bead and pull tight to move the bead parallel to the first two.

Step 4

Repeat Step 3 until you get to the length needed for your bracelet.

Step 5

Tie the ends in a surgeon's knot, which is just an extra twist before pulling the strands tight.

Step 6

Tuck the ends inside the beads nearest to the knots and add a dab of glue to the knot. Let dry.
