Before you begin, watch the video: How to Make a Stretch Bracelet.
- Begin by cutting a 12" length of white .7mm Opelon stretch cord with your scissors.
- Your bracelet will measure approximately 7� long, with those additional 5� used for knotting.
- Place a bead stopper a couple of inches from the end of your cord.
- Look through your skull bead mix and pick out 6 colors. I picked purple, orange, green, yellow, pink, and blue. You will be using your 6 neon party beads as accent beads.
- String in order: 1 purple skull bead, 1 green bead, 1 orange skull bead, 1 purple bead, 1 green skull bead, 1 orange bead, 1 yellow skull bead, 1 green bead, 1 pink skull bead, 1 purple bead, 1 blue skull bead and 1 orange bead.
- Remove the bead stopper and tie the ends of your cord into a knot.
- Apply a very small amount of GS Hypo Cement to the knot and allow to dry. Then, trim the loose ends close to the knot.
- Allow the glue to dry thoroughly for 24 hours before wearing.
