    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Your Cording: Measure and cut 3 feet each of two colors of Rattail Satin Cording.
    Forming the Base Loop: Fold the cords to create a loop at one end, tying an overhand knot to secure it.
    Starting the Square Knot: Align the cords with two in the center and one of each color on the sides.
    Use the longer side cord to create a "snoopy nose" loop over the center cords, threading the other side cord over and through the loop.
    Continuing the Pattern: Repeat the process, alternating the side that creates the initial loop, to build the bracelet length.
    Finishing the Bracelet: Once desired length is reached, secure the ends with an overhand knot.
    Trim excess cord and apply a dab of glue for extra security.
    Final Touches: Test the loop and knot for fit and adjust as necessary.

    Glad you have the thread burner back in stock I am enjoying learning to bead and love monthly kits. Thanks for being there to help me on utube I've made mistakes but I work myself backwards until I get to the booboo. Today it looked like a spider but I didn't stop going back through. Oh my, it is a challenge I look forward to tackling, and a new hobby as well. Thanks Allie!!

    I love that a pattern that I like offers the items that I need to complete the project. The only thing is that sometimes I cannot get the items that I need because they sell out too fast.
