Step 1:  Begin by cutting a piece of thread at least 36″ in length.  Knot the end of the thread.  Thread the needle.  Make sure as you work, to carefully keep the thread from getting tangled.

Step 2:  Cut the piece of cording to 7″.  Keep in mind if you have a larger wrist you will have to cut the cording a little bit longer.  The total measurement for the bracelet is 7.5″.  This includes the end caps, jump rings, and lobster claw clasp.

Step 3:  Take the needle and sew up through the center of your cording and come out the side. Then you can start the beading process.

Step 4:  Melanie created a pattern with the beads using a small Brass Ethiopian Bead followed by a Brass Hematite Bead, Turquoise Wooden Bead, another Brass Hematite Bead, and ending with a small Brass Ethiopian Bead as shown above.

Step 5:  When sewing, make sure to leave the same amount of space between the bead sets as you create your pattern.

Step 8:  Using the E-6000 glue, glue the end caps to each end.  Let this sit for a couple of hours or over night to ensure that the cording is really secured to the end cap.

Step 9:  Open up the both jump rings and attach them to both ends of the end cap.  Before closing one jump ring, attach the lobster claw clasp, and then close.
