These instructions make a 6 1/2 inch bracelet. To make a longer or shorter bracelet, adjust the length of Opelon cord and the number of jade beads accordingly.
- Cut a piece of Opelon stretch cord about 10 inches long. Place a bead stopper 2 inches from one end.
- String the beads in the following order: 12 green jade beads, one ceramic gingerbread house bead (facing up), 12 red jade beads, and another gingerbread house bead (facing up).
- Tie an overhand knot to close the bracelet, then double-knot it. Using your scissors, cut off the excess Opelon cord about 1/8 inch from the knot.
- Enjoy your bracelet!
