These instructions make a 7.5" bracelet. The quantities given include enough flat cork to allow for an up to 8" bracelet. If you would like to make a larger bracelet, adjust the quantity accordingly. Please also note that you will 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 cork, add the beads, attach the clasp, and finish the bracelet.
- Onto your cork, slide one "M" bead, one "O" bead, one "M" bead and one heart bead.
- Based upon what you learned in the video, 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.
- Place some glue into the recess on one side of your clasp and slip one end of the cork into the recess. Allow to dry.
- Repeat the previous step on the other side of your bracelet.
- Allow all glue to dry thoroughly before wearing.
