How to do it
1 A TIP: It's easier to thread the beads onto the cotton cord by applying glue to the end of the cord and leaving it to dry.
2 Thread letter beads and wooden beads alternating onto the middle of the cotton cord.
3 Attach one end of the cotton cord onto a clip board and braid at each end. (See idea No. 12499 on our 'Jewellery School for help with the technique).
4 Finish: Unlike the instructions in 12499, the cord ends are not melted as this is not possible when using cotton cord. Instead, secure and hide the ends using a needle.
5 Tie another knot at each end of the cord a couple of cm from the fastening. Thread a bead on at each end and tie another knot. Trim the cord.
