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.)

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.




3. 

   

   Take your 5 strands and make them all even at the top, like so.

4. 

   

   Tie these into a knot (any kind of knot).




5. 

   

   Now, take your longest strand and pull it behind the others, as shown in the picture.

6. 

   

   Pull it around infront of the other strands and down through the hole as the picture shows.

7. 

   

   Tightly pull the knot you just made.

8. 

   

   Continue these knots (steps 5-7). The knots will naturally twist all the way around the bracelet.

9. 

   

   If you wish for beads, right before you make the knot, add the bead.

10. 

    

    Then just finish the knot shown in steps 5-7, only now with the bead. Pull tightly.

11. 

    

    Tighten this knot. Now you can continue with the knots shown in steps 5-7.

12. 

    

    When desired lenght is reached, make a sturdy knot at the end and cut off the excess twine. Then you can tie it to your beginning knot.
