Quick Project Steps

Begin by securing the Chinese Knotting Cord with a rubber stopper bead, leaving room for adjustment.
Create a base knot and then prepare the cord for macrame by folding it over and securing it to the base cords.
Utilize the macrame knot technique, alternating the direction of knots to maintain a flat design.
Introduce beads into the pattern, either pre-loading them onto the central cord or adding them as you go along the outer cords.
Continue the pattern, ensuring consistent spacing between beads and knots for a uniform appearance.
To finish, tie a final knot with all cords, trim excess cord, and secure the ends. Adjust the rubber stopper bead for size and add beads at the ends if desired.

Spoke to Faith and she was very helpful and took good care of me, can't wait to get my beads and assemble the bracelets.

Did not understand all the junk offerings of unwanted items as the final step to completing my purchase. Thought I was done, and almost closed out site when I finally noticed "No thanks complete my purchase button. Had to choose that button 2 times to complete purchase. Find that very confusing and deceptive trying to trick people into accidentally buying products they do not want. A big negative for me when dealing with a business.
