  • How to make a braided bracelet. Twisted Bracelets - Step 1
    Step 1

    Cut 4 strands of twine that are the same lenght.

    (This will be for the inside of your bracelet. If you want it thicker, add more strands.)

  • Step 2

    Now cut a strand that is about three times as long as the other strands. (You will use this strand to wrap around the others.)

    Note: the thicker your bracelet (aka- the more strands in your inside bracelet), the longer this string needs to be.
