sea turtle sliding knot bracelet
Step 1 |
Cut two lengths of cord, each about 10" [25.4 cm]. |
Step 2 |
Lay both cords on your working surface so they are parallel to each other. Now, shift one down so there is about 6" [15.2 cm] of overlap on one end. |
Step 3 |
Tie an overhand knot, attaching both cords together, as close to the end of one of the cords as possible. |
Step 4 |
Working on one side of the knot with two cords, add a sea turtle bead into both cords and slide it up so it is flush against the knot. |
Step 5 |
Add pony beads onto each cord separately. |
Step 6 |
Tie an overhand knot with both cords so your beads are in between the two knots. |
Step 7 |
Cut the excess of the short cord extending beyond each knot but leave a very short tail. Do not cut the longer cords from either side. |
Step 8 |
ADULT: Carefully use a lighter to melt the very short tail. The melted end will also act as a stopper to secure the knot. |
Step 9 |
Now, arrange the longer ends of your your bracelet into a circle and overlap the ends. |
Step 10 |
With the end of the cord hanging to the left, tie an overhand knot around the overlapped cord. Turn around and repeat with the other side. |
Step 11 |
Add a pony bead to each end and tie a knot to secure the bead. |
Step 12 |
ADULT: Repeat Step 8 on each end. |
