A braided Bracelet with Beads and Rivets
#v13709
These bracelets are all braided using semi-gloss macramé cord. Beads are added as you go along making the bracelet. These can slide freely on the bracelet whilst the rivets are attached firmly.

How to do it

1. Cut an 85cm piece of macramé cord, double it over and tie a knot, making a loop. Attach the loop in the clip on the macramé board.

2. Thread the beads onto the doubled-over cord before securing it at the bottom of the macramé board with a clip. (We have used the following order: four clay beads, one imitation leather link and five clay beads).

3. Cut a piece of macramé cord measuring approx. 190cm. Double it over and arrange it so that the middle is underneath the two cords. Start braiding tightly. For further instructions, see our website for “Jewellery School” under “Braiding Techniques”.

6. Attach a rivet between the two cords in the middle and braid tightly around the “collar” of the rivet.
