TIPS
- To make your knots more even, tighten the weave cord first.
- Add beads to the cord that goes under your center strands and not the weave cord.
- To make your bracelet into a 3 wrap bracelet, add beads for the first wrap, no beads for the second wrap, and two sets of 2 beads for the third wrap 2 inches apart. Use a crimp bead with extender for the clasp instead of a square knot sliding clasp.
