How to do it
Video guide Click to see the instructions (video).
1 Thread the beads onto an elastic cord using a beading needle. Place five white beads between each cherry, using one green and two red beads. Thread the elastic cord through the green bead twice and tighten the cord so that the two red beads sit on the outside of the green bead.
2 Tie a knot on the elastic: Double-twist the piece of elastic, holding on to the ends and the bracelet and tighten it (a little more than you think).
3 Cut the ends off at least 3 mm from the knot.
4 Here you can see other colour combinations using the same technique –just with 1–3 beads as 'fruit'.
