Steps
- Cut cord into two pieces of desired length (see size key).
- Trim the tip of one cord at an angle. Dab a tiny amount of glue onto the tip and roll quickly and firmly between fingers to slightly stiffen the end and prevent fraying. Repeat at other end and on second cord.
- Fold one cord in half and thread both ends through an end hole of a 3 Hole Bar. Form a Larks Head Knot by threading the ends back through the fold of the cord and pull ends to tighten. Adjust so ends are even. Repeat with second cord making sure knots are threaded from same direction.
- String one Nugget bead onto both cords on one side of bracelet. Slide bead next to Lark’s Head knot and secure into place with a small drop of glue on underside. Repeat on other side.
- Apply a small drop of glue into the opening of one Cord End.
- On one side of bracelet hold the two ends of cord together and thread them into the Cord End. Allow to dry.
- Repeat Steps 5 and 6 on other side of bracelet.
- Attach one jump ring to one of the Cord Ends. Before closing, attach closed end of lobster clasp. Close jump ring.
- Attach one jump ring to the other Cord End. Close jump ring.
- Use one jump ring to attach one charm to center hole of 3 Hole Bar.
