Clutches & Curls

Here is a tutorial on how to make this D.I.Y cobra Bracelet!

You will need: craft lace

chain

clasp

scissors

pliers

super glue

ruler(optional)

First, measure the size of half of your wrist.

I measured about 5 inches then added 2 more inches to it.

Now double it up and cut. I ended up cutting 14 inches.

Now measure 8x the length of half of your wrist, I cut 64 inches. (with the additional 2 inches)

Now make a crease in the middle of both of the strings. Now put the longest string behind the shorter one.

Take the right side of the string and bring across to the left.

Now take the right side and lay it on top of the piece you just brought over.

Take the same piece and put it behind the shorter string and pull it through the loop on the right.

(sorry you can't really see it) Now pull on both sides.

This is what it should look like. Now continue doing this while alternating starting positions (left or right).

Keep doing this until you get to about 3 inches.

Now fold the remainder of the string to where the end is at 5 inches.

Now continue the braiding process on top of the folded part.

Put super glue on both side once you are finished. I know the cap is still on, it got super glued on there so now I can't get it off. :(

Cut the remaining string off.

Now add chain to it. I only used two links.

Now add your clasp and you're all done. ( I used toggle clasp)
