Instructions
Cut two 10-inch lengths of Powercord® 0.5mm diameter clear elastic. Stretch the cord gently to condition it before stringing.
Place both strands of Powercord® on a bead stopper. String your desired pattern of beads onto both strands. Finish the pattern around the bracelet until all beads have been used:
- 5mm full tila square in translucent Picasso light amber
- 5x2.3mm half tila rectangle in opaque Picasso antique white
- 5mm full tila square intranslucent silk luster mint green
- 5x2.3mm half tila rectangle in translucent silk luster mint green
- 5x2.3mm half tila rectangle in opaque 24Kt gold-plated
Bring the cord ends together, matching top and bottom strands to each other. Tie the top strands of Powercord® using a secure surgeon’s knot, pulling firmly to create a snug bracelet fit. Then tie the bottom strands, repeating process.
Apply a small dab of E6000® clear adhesive to the knot. Allow the adhesive to dry completely, then trim the excess cord.
