How to make a braided bracelet with small-hole beads?

Step1: Make a knotted bead strand

Cut a length of 1mm nylon thread, string the beads and space with an overhand knot. Make the bead strand fit your wrist snugly.

Step2: Braid the bracelet

1st, cut two 100cm pieces of 1mm nylon thread and fold in half;
2nd, tie a slip knot at the folded location. Then place the bead strand between the thread ends;
3rd, separate the ends on two sides. Take one end on two sides as working ends and cross them over the central bead strand. Later, string one 4mm spacer bead on the rest ends;
4th, place the end with spacer bead over the other end on same side;
5th, repeat the processes 3rd and 4th for the entire bead strand except the last one.

Step3: Finish the bracelet

Regard the last acrylic bead as closure, knot the leftover threads. Pull tightly and trim off the excess.

Insert the last bead into the starting knotted loop and done!
