DIY - Knotted Bracelet

Image
This is a really fun and easy bracelet for you to make at home this summer! All you need is: Embroidery Thread ( a few colours preferably) Button (Optional) Tape or Clipboard (Something to hold it in place) To start you want to cut your threads into the right size, you can change this according to the amount of colours and width you'd like to use. You will need at least 6 strands of thread (3 if you're doing a button closure as this will loop over to form 6 strands). Each strand should be around 50 inches long, can be 25 inches if not doing a button closure. Now that you have your chosen strings all cut to length (I used 4 different colours in my example).

It is super easy to achieve, you simply start your bracelet with double the amount of strings but in half the length (You can find this information on each of the separate bracelets).

You essentially w...
