you 'll need:
embroidery thread
•a safety pin or tape
•a pair of scissors

 
 

 
Steps:

1. Pick your colors

 
 
Pick any 6 colors that appeal to you. You could use more or less colors if you want to. The more strings you have the wider your bracelet will be. Therefore, if you want to use just two colors you have to use more strings of each color to make the bracelet wide enough.

 


 

 
2.  Cut from each color a string of about a meter long.

 


 

 

 

 
 
3. Make a knot in the middle of the string with a loop above it.
 
 



 
 
 
4.Tape the string to the floor or a table.
 
 
 

 
 
5.Arrange your strings beginning and ending with the same color. In the middle you will have the same color next to each other.
 
 
 
 
 
6.
#2.Make a knot with the string most left over the string on the right next to it.
#3#4#5.Make another knot with the same thread over the string right next to that one until you reach the middle of the bracelet. You will know have made a knot over all of the strings on the left side.
 
#6#7#8.Do the same on the right side.
#9#10.Make a knot with both of the strings you just used to make all of the knots.
 
 
 

 
 
7.repeat step 6 again with the color which is now on the most left and the most right.
 
 
 
 
8.Repeat this knotting until your bracelet is long enough to almost fit your arm.
 
 
 
 
 
9.Finishing off the bracelets is pretty straight forward, simply braid the ends and knot the tips. You should be sure to do this when giving the bracelet as a gift.
