Knotted Bracelet:

Materials needed:
Turquoise dyed howlite 6mm rondelles
.018” silver color Beadalon 49
Silver ball and hitch clasp
1 large and 1 small crimp bead
2 silver crimp covers
Optional: Beadalon Acrylic Tying Station

Instructions:
Cut one 2-yard and one 24” length of Beadalon 49. Hold the wires together and string the ball end of the clasp onto it. Attach a small crimp bead and crimp cover.

Use the long wires to tie a square knot around the short wires. String a bead onto each long wire and tie another square knot. Repeat for the desired length of the bracelet (calculate about 1/2” for the clasp).

After the last knot, pass all of the strands through a large crimp bead, the other half of the clasp, and back through the crimp. Crimp it and attach a crimp cover.
