What you'll need:
4 pieces of ribbon, each 2 yards long (For this bracelet, I used 1/4 inch wide but you can use any size or combination of sizes)
Scissors
Needle and thread
2
Overlap the centers of all four ribbons as shown here. Secure these together by either lightly tacking together with needle and thread of adding a drop of glue to each intersection.
3
To begin weaving, fold the first ribbon down over the one underneath it.
4
We work first in a counterclockwise direction so continue to fold down the next ribbon across the one beneath it.
5
And the next
6
And finally the last
7
When you fold the last ribbon over, slip it under the loop of the first ribbon you folded down like so. Tighten all four ribbons.
8
After going around counterclockwise, reverse the pattern and fold the ribbons across working in a clockwise direction. Begin this round with the ribbon you just passed under the loop.
9
Continue repeating these two, tightening the ribbons after each round, until your weaving measures 3 1/2 inches long.
Then repeat on the opposite side of where you tacked your ribbons together. Stop when the entire piece measures 7 inches long.
10
To fasten both ends, sew a criss cross stitch through each of the four squares and cut the ribbon close to the weaving.
11
Then give the bracelet a full twist and butt the two ends up gainst one another. Whip stitch the edges together.
The bracelet will look small but it stretches to fit over your hand.
