Simplicity Bracelet

| Description: The Simplicity
Bracelet is very easy to make. It requires you to know only
2 types of knots. If you make it with different colors, or
add beads, you’ll end up with a pretty piece of handcrafted
jewelry for children. |
| |
Supplies Needed:
- 2mm braided cord, yarn, or similar material
- (2) Shank-type Novelty Buttons
|
| |
| |
| Knots used: Interlaced
Plaits and the Overhand
Knot |
| |

 |
Step 1:
Cut 2 strands of cord, each 40 inches long. Attach one button
(for clasp) and slide it to the center of the cords. Make a
tight Overhand knot just below the button. |

Step 2: Measure
your wrist, or figure out how long you want the bracelet to
be. With the four strands you now have to work with, make an
Interlaced Plait. Always use the cord on the right, and direct
it under, over, under the others. Stop when you reach the halfway
point of the wrist measurement.
Step 3: Add another novelty button, for
decoration. Then continue the plait to make the second half
of the bracelet. |
|
| |
| Step 4: When you are finished
braiding, make a tight Overhand knot with all the cords. Leave
a space for the first button, and make a second knot. Cut the
ends close to the knot, and apply glue to prevent it from untying. |
