Step 2Divide the strands into 2 pairs and tie a knot in each pair. String a red seed bead onto a pair of strands and tie a knot. String a red seed bead onto the other pair and tie a knot (Figure B).
-
Step 3String a glass bead onto a strand and tie the pair in a knot. String a yellow seed bead onto a strand in the other pair of strands and tie the pair in a knot (Figure C).

Step 4String a shell bead onto a strand and tie the pair in a knot. String a glass bead onto a strand in the other pair and tie the pair in a knot (Figure D).

Step 5
Continue stringing beads in this manner, measuring against your wrist as you go and making sure both strands are even.

Step 6When the bracelet is the right length, draw all of the strands into the other half of the clasp and tie in a secure knot. Reinforce with a dab of super glue and cut the cords close to the knot (Figure E).E
