Instructions
-
You need to cut the wax wire and make 8 strands. Use a cord end to make them tight.
-
Separate the 8 cords into 4 parts: 3 cords on the left and 3 cords on the right; use one cord in the middle to thread the beads; and use one cord on the back to thread the cross.
-
You can start to thread the wood beads now. Remember to choose the different beads every time before you start a new cross. Use the cord on the both sides to cover the shape of the beads in the middle.
-
When you make the bracelet as long as you want, you need to cut the extra cord and fix a cord end again. Then use the clasp and jump ring to finish the bracelet.
