Step 1

Cut a 30cm length of stretch thread for each bracelet. Thread each bracelet with the specified beads to the length required.

Step 2

To finish off each bracelet, tie the ends of the stretch thread securely. Use a double knot to prevent the stretch thread from unravelling. Snip off the excess thread (don’t cut too close to the knot). If possible, gently tug the knot into one of the bead channels.

Step 3

If desired tie all 5 strands together with a pretty piece of ribbon. This will help hide any little ‘tails’ of stretch thread that are visible.
