Guide step 1

Half Hitch Braiding

Cut a 100 cm piece and a 40 cm piece of your choosen cord (the more braiding and the less beads, the longer the pieces of cord). Double over the long piece of cord. Make a loop at one end of the small piece of cord. Join the cords with a knot, leaving a small loop. Cut off the short end.

Thread beads onto the middle cord (i.e. the shortest cord).
