Instructions
Step 1
Gather your supplies
Gather your supplies together, setting out one of each on a bead mat or soft flat surface.
Step 2
Measure and Cut the Elasticity Cord
Wrap the elasticity cord around your wrist to determine the appropriate bracelet length. Leave an extra 10cm + on both ends for knot tying and cut the cord using Side Cutters.
Step 3
Secure One End of the Elasticity Cord
To prevent beads from sliding off, tie a temporary knot or use a bit of blue tack.
Step 4
Prepare Your Beads
Lay the beads out in your preferred colour sequence on a beading mat to prevent rolling.
Step 5
Thread the Beads
Begin threading the beads onto the elasticity cord in the rainbow pattern. Continue until you have enough beads to comfortably wrap around your wrist.
Step 6
Check the Bracelet Size
Wrap the unfinished bracelet around your wrist to check for fit. Adjust by adding or removing beads if necessary.
Step 7
Secure the Knot
Tie a double knot by looping the two ends of the elasticity cord together tightly. For extra security, tie a surgeon’s knot by passing one end through the loop twice before pulling tight.
Step 8
Apply E6000+ Glue
Dab a small amount of E6000+ glue directly onto the knot to seal it. Allow the glue to dry for at least 24 hours to ensure maximum strength.
Step 9
Trim Excess Cord
Once the glue has dried, carefully trim the excess cord close to the knot. If possible, slide a bead over the knot to conceal it for a seamless finish.
