Retired - Cora Bracelet

Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

1. Cut a piece of cord measuring about 24 inches. Place a bead stopper two inches from one end.
2. String on, in alternating order, one Austrian crystal crystal and one Beadelle spacer. Please see photo for reference.
3. Once you have strung on all 32 beads, remove the bead stopper.
4. Go back through the first bead you strung and follow the thread path all the way around the beads. This extra loop of stretch cord will help to hold the weight of the beads and make it stronger.
5. Once you are back to the start, take the two ends and tie an overhand knot bringing the two ends together. Add a dab of glue and tie a second knot to secure it in place.
6. Once the glue has dried, trim the cord and tuck in any remaining tails.
7. All done!
