How to do it
1 Thread different beads onto a piece of elastic cord and finish with a knot. You may tie tassels onto the bracelet afterwards.
2 Tassels: Cut a piece of mercerised cotton yarn measuring approx. 1 meter. Wind the yarn at a length of approx. 5.5 cm around a piece of card or similar.
3 Remove the wound yarn from the piece of card and cut another piece of yarn measuring approx. 20 cm.
4 Tie this piece of yarn around the middle of the wound yarn. Finish with a double knot.
5 Cut open the loops on both sides. Put together the two bundles to make a tassel.
6 Cut another piece of yarn measuring approx. 15 cm. Tie the yarn tightly around the tassel, approx. 1 cm from the top. Secure with a double knot.
7 Distribute the tassels on the bracelet. Tie and secure each tassel with a double knot.
