Even if you don't like camping you will LOVE these bracelets!! They are amazing for everyday wear and also great for gifts. This specific type bracelet can be challenging to make to some people......but never fear the demo queens are here!
Here's the instructions:
Here's the instructions:
Start with 12 strings. Pick three to four colors that you want to show and one that you don't. For the colors that you do want to show, make sure to cut two pieces of each. For the color that you don't want to show, cut four pieces. Try to make all the ends match up so you don't run out of string later!
1. Tie all the strings into a knot and tape it down somewhere secure.
2. Separate the two groups of strings by which ones will show through, and which ones won't. In the example, yellow is the color that will not be seen in the bracelet. Make sure that the three colors that only have two strings are next to each other.
3. Take the first color string that will show (green in example) and make a sail or four shape shape.
4. Loop the end of the four shaped string into the yellow string.
5. And then pull it through!
6. And up! Then repeat steps 3-5 a second time.
7. Now do steps 3-6 with the green string and the second yellow string.
8. Take the second green string still on the left and repeat steps 3-6 again.
9. Now do all of those steps again with the second color string (pink in example).
10. Now get started with the third color (purple in example), same steps as before!
11. Now we are going to take those steps and do them a little differently now. Take the last purple string you just knotted and make a backwards four on the closest yellow string.
12. Now loop it through.
13. And up, just like before but the opposite direction, do this once more on the same yellow string.
14. Then repeat steps 10-13 with the other purple string on the both the yellow strings twice.
15. Repeat steps 10-13 with the pink and green strings.
16. Now we are going forward again! Yay! Take the green string and make a four again, but this time not backwards! Loop it through and pull it up twice, doing the same thing on the next side.
17. Then do the same steps with the pink and then the purple.
Keep following all of these steps, repeating each side, and in no time you will have a beautiful bracelet!!!
Good luck!!
