How to make the knotted bracelet with beads?

Step 1: Create a loop as part of closure

1st, cut 3 pieces leather cords: 50cm, 100cm and 120cm long;

2nd, align one end of the cords;

3rd, fold the cords to find the center location. Then, take the 120cm-end and do wrapping around the rest two;

4th, loop the wrapped area to fit the 8mm alloy bead snugly;

5th, do another 1cm long wraps and fasten with two half hitch knots.

Step 2: Make the knotted part with beads

1st, divide the 6 leather cords into two: each includes two long working ends and one short holding end between them;

2nd, string a 8mm ally bead on the left working end and a 8mm jade bead on the right working end;

3rd, tie a complete square knot. Pull the cords moderately;

4th, repeat the 2nd and 3rd processes for a desired length of knotted bracelet.

Step 3: Create another knotted strand with new color

1st, take the rest three ends, thread the right working end through the first 8mm alloy bead. Then string one new-colored 8mm jade bead on the left working end;

2nd, tie a square knot as did in step 2;

3rd, repeat the two above processes to the last alloy bead.

Step 4: Complete the closure

1st, tie an overhand knot with all six leather cords;

2nd, string another 8mm alloy bead and secure with another overhand knot;

3rd, keep 1cm part at each end and then remove the excesses.

Slip the last alloy bead through the loop and there you’ve made your fancy square knot bracelet with beads!
