These instructions make a 7.5" bracelet. The quantities given include enough flat cork to allow for up to an 8" bracelet. If you would like to make a larger bracelet, adjust the quantity accordingly. You will need a ruler for this project.
- To make this bracelet, watch the video: How to Measure and Assemble a Regaliz Flat Cork Cord Bracelet . In this video, you will learn how to measure and cut the cork, add the beads, attach the clasp, and finish the bracelet.
- Following what you learned in the video, take one half of your antiqued brass metallic clasp set and add in a few drops of Super New Glue into the recess. Gently insert one end of your 8� Regaliz cork length. Hold in place for a few seconds.
- Next, onto your Regaliz cork cord slide on the following slider beads (making sure the hammered sides are facing outward): 1 circle slider bead, 1 bow tie slider bead, 1 skull slider bead, 1 bow tie slider bead, and 1 circle slider bead. See photo for placement assistance.
- Using your Regaliz cutter, you can carefully cut the excess cork away, cutting only 1/4" at a time to get the desired fit. You can adjust as you cut a little bit at a time, placing the cord into the ends to check the fit after each cut.
- Repeat the steps above to glue in the other end of your cork cord end into the second half of your magnetic clasp.
- You�re done! Allow all glue to dry thoroughly before wearing.
