Bangle Bracelet
|
| |
|
| |
| Description:
This Bangle Bracelet uses only a single decorative knot, so
is very easy to make. The symbolic design that results from
this pattern was a favorite of the Celtic artisans in ancient
times. This pattern can be made larger, to form a headband.
Supplies Needed:
- 2mm – 3mm Braided Macrame Cord, or similar material.
- Drinking glass or other cylinder (the same diameter
as your wrist).
Knot Used: Turks

| Step 1: Cut 3 or more cords, 60 inches
long, to make the Bangle Bracelet. Place the glass on its side, and tape one end one of the cords to the bottom left. |
| |
| |
 |
|
Step 2: Wrap the cord around, from the front to the back. Bring the end to the front again, crossing over in the center. Mentally label that "crossing point A". You can apply tape to the crossed area if you wish. |
|
|
| |
| |
| |
 |
|
Step 3: Bring the working end to the back of the glass, then to the front again. Cross over the portion of the cord that rests to the right of the secured end. Call that 'crossing point B", and be sure to apply tape to the area. |

Step 4: Direct the working end around the glass again. When you bring it to the front, roll the glass towards you slightly. Locate the V-shaped area above crossing point A, and direct the end through it. Pass under the right portion of the cord, and over the left, so you go into the space from below. |

Step 5: Roll
the glass towards you again. Just above where you ended
in the last step, PICK UP the left portion of the cord and
cross it over the right. Then direct the end through the opening
formed, from left to right, coming up into it from below. The arrow shows the direction of the working cord as you complete this important step for the Bangle Bracelet. |

|
Step 6: Roll
the support again, and direct the end of the cord into the
space above the cross you just made, entering into it from below.
Repeat Steps 4 thru 6, to complete the Bangle Bracelet. You should end up where you started. Remove the tape. |
|
|
| |
Step 7: Using the remaining two cords, repeat the same pattern, by following the first strand all the way through the design. This will thicken and widen the Bangle Bracelet. You can add as many cords as you wish.
Step 8: Direct the ENDS to the inside
of the design. Make sure the strands rest next to one another
and are neatly trimmed. Apply a coat of glue that dries
clear to secure the ends. |
