A braided bracelet with stone beads, rhinestones and metallic leather cord.
The instructions are shown below with other colours. The procedure is the same. See the finished product under idea No. 11082 or at the bottom of this page. Cut seven leather cords each measuring 50cm; three in one colour, three in a second colour and one in a third colour. Tie together in a knot. Put on approx. nine beads onto the one cord.
Put the 3x2 colours to either side. Push up one of the beads.
"Lock" the bead by putting the cords from left to right. Three cords from the right are passed to the left. The cords can lie side by side.
Push up another bead.
Continue like this from side to side until the required length is reached.
Arrange the ends parallel and braid with a new piece of cord as shown. Secure this cord on the back with glue.
Tie knots on all the ends and trim.
