  Step 1

  Gather all your supplies if you normally do so. Cut the chord so it is at least an inch longer than you need. You will need +- 9 seed beads and +- 14 crystal beads, but you can also decide to use half of that if you use bigger beads. You also need 1 crimp, a small jump ring, a large jump ring, a lobster clasp and 2 bead ends

• 

  Step 2

  Knot the chord at the end and thread a seed bead through to the knot

• 

  Step 3

  Thread a bead end onto the chord and cut off the end after the knot so that it will not stick out when you close the bead end.

• 

  Step 4

  Close the bead end, attach the lobster clasp to the small jump ring and attach it to the bead end.

• 

  Step 5

  Take one end of chord and thread it through the seed bead. Thread the other chord through in the other direction, so it crosses like shown. Pull it down until the gap between the bead and the bead end is as big as you want.

• 

  Step 6

  Thread the other beads through normally. Pull them down so the gap between then is equal to the other gap.

• 

  Step 7

  Thread another seed bead through, crossing them over again. Remember to pull it down so the gap is of equal size.

• 

  Step 8

  Repeat until your bracelet is the right length, allowing space for the bead end and jump ring.

• 

  Step 9

  Thread a bead end through both the chords, and then a crimp.

• 

  Step 10

  Push the crimp down until the gap is equal, crimp it with the pliers, making sure it cannot move around, and cut off the remaining chord.

• 

  Step 11

  Close the bead end and add the large jump ring to the end.

• 

  Step 12

  And you have an awesome new bracelet =]

I can't believe nobody has asked yet! If it isn't too much of a bother, could you make a simple how-to? I'd love to see how it's done!
