These instructions make a 7.5" wrap 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, watch 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.
- Based upon what you learned in the video, slide one spacer bead, one star bead and two spacer beads onto the cork. Now wrap the cork around and slide it though the star bead again. Add one more spacer bead.
- To get your measurement right, 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.
- This clasp will add about 6.5mm, which equals about 1/4".
- 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.
