These instructions make a 7.5" bracelet. The quantities given include enough flat cork cord to allow for an up to 8" bracelet. If you would like to make a larger bracelet, adjust the quantity accordingly. You will also need a ruler for this project.
- To make this bracelet, start by watching 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 flat cork cord, attach the clasp, and finish the bracelet.
- Fold your 16 inch length of flat cork cord in half and tie an overhand knot about 3/4" from the top to create a loop. Make sure that the loop fits over the disk on your clasp and pull the knot tight.
- Keeping the ends of the cords together, mark both cords at 5" (5" from the very tip of the loop to the ends of the cords). This will make a bracelet that's about 7.5". Add or subtract length here to adjust your finished size. Cut the cord ends at your measured mark.
- Place some glue into the recess on your clasp and slip both ends of the flat cork cord into the recess side by side.
- Allow all glue to dry thoroughly before wearing.
