Instructions
Cut one 10-inch length of Powercord® yellow elastic cord. Pre-stretch the cord to reduce future stretching. Then attach a bead stopper.
String on your choice of beads. To replicate the pattern shown, alternate sixteen Crystal Passions® 6mm jonquil round beads and sixteen 3x2mm gold-plated rondelle beads.
String on a 5x2mm gold-plated ribbed bead cap, followed by a Crystal Passions 6mm blue zircon round bead, another bead cap and a 3x2mm gold-plated rondelle bead.
Repeat this pattern two more times. Then end with a 5x2mm gold-plated ribbed bead cap, followed by a Crystal Passions 6mm blue zircon round bead, another bead cap and a 3x2mm gold-plated rondelle bead.
Check the fit of the bracelet. If necessary, adjust the number of beads to fit.
Using a surgeon’s knot, tie the cord ends together. Pull firmly to secure. Add a small drop of E6000® PREMIUM™ clear adhesive to the knot. Let the adhesive dry.
Trim the excess cord and carefully conceal the knot inside adjacent beads.
