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. Before you begin, watch the video: How to Make a Zig Zag Double Shambhala Bracelet. This video will walk you through the steps for making the bracelet.
2. Cut one 6' and one 3' length of 1.5mm black waxed cotton cord.
3. Fold the 3' length in half. Place the middle of the 6' length behind the top of the folded piece and tie a macrame square knot about 1" from the top where it's folded. Secure the top loop to your work surface. Tie 5 more square knots.
4. String one 10mm 22k gold plated bead, one 10mm emerald candy bead, 1 gold bead, 1 emerald bead, and 1 gold bead onto each of your middle strands. Loosely secure the bottom of the strands to your work surface.
5. Use the longer outside strands to wrap around the beads as demonstrated in the video.
6. Release the bottom of the strands from your work surface. Tie 6 square knots after the beaded section.
7. Finish the macrame square knotting with an overhand knot on the backside, secured with E6000 glue. Allow the glue to dry thoroughly before continuing.
8. Trim the ends about 5" from the end of the knotting (adjust for sizing) and tie an overhand knot near each end.
9. To close, bring one of the loose end strands through the loop at the top, then tie the loose ends into a bow.
