Step 2

This bracelet uses turquoise tumble nuggets, chinese knotting cord, a baroque pearl, and amber nuggets. Cut 10" of chinese knotting cord. 1. Follow the images below the bracelet. First loop the cord around the the soldered jump ring. 2. Stick your finger into the loop and twist the cord with your finger 5 times. 3. Take the short tail and string it through the base of the loop above the twists. 4. Slowly pull tight. Do this knot on the other end too. String on your beads. Make sure the bracelet fits. Do the same knot on the other end with the lobster clasp. Trim any excess cord, use a lighter to slightly burn your knots.

Step 3

This bracelet uses turquoise saucers, elastic cord, and a chrysocolla faceted nugget. Cut 8" of stretch cord. Slide the beads on in the order shown. Use one large hole gold bead to cover your knot or you could end the knot at the nugget and hide it in the hole. Follow the images below the bracelet to knot. 1. Tie once 2. Cross the cord over each twice. 3. Cross them again twice and pull tight
