How to make the bracelet out of string and beads?

Step1: Cut a length of 2mm nylon thread, measuring about 80cm long;

Step2: Fold at the 1/4 from the beginning, and then tie an overhand knot for making a small loop;

Step3: on each wire, string the same number of 8mm colorful acrylic beads depends on individual’s wrist circumference;

Step4: use the short thread to tie a slipknot around the longer. Then, stagger two lines of beads. Take the longer thread and start to weave zig-zag pattern towards the beginning and back from the beginning to ending once again;

Step5: undo the slip knot in step 4 and tie another overhand knot. String one 8mm acrylic bead on either of the two ends. Secure with another overhand knot. Tighten both threads and trim off the excess parts. Melt and seal the cut by lighter.

Step6: lay the ending bead in beginning loop!
