INSTRUCTIONS:
- Feed one end of both cords through one ring, making sure each cord is at even lengths. (Shorter cord will be the center of bracelet and does not move through weaving process - see illus. 1). HINT: Tape ring down on table top to hold in place.
- To begin weaving, take outer left strand and lay over the two center strands, and under outer right strand (see illus. 2).
- Wrap outer right strand under and around the left strand, under the two center strands, and over the outer left strand. (This forms a knot - see illus. 3).
- Pull the two outer strands outward to close up knot securely to ring (see illus 4). This forms the first half of the knot.
- To make the second half of the knot, take the outer right strand and lay it over the two center strands, and under the outer left strand (see illus. 5).
- Wrap the outer left strand under and around the right strand, under the two center strands 2, and over the right strand (see illus. 6).
- Pull the two outer strands outward to close up knot securely to ring (see illus. 7). This completes one set of weaving.
- Repeat steps 2-7 until your braid reaches 7" in length.
- When finished, feed all four cord ends through second ring, pushing ring to end of braid.
- Trim excess cords to 1/2" and glue remainder of ends to back of bracelet. Let dry.
- To finish, add clasp to third ring. Attach third ring to ring on either end of bracelet.
- Enjoy!
