    Quick Project Steps

    Cut two 5-foot lengths and one 20-inch length of Chinese knotting cord.
    Apply super glue to the ends of the cords to prevent fraying and create a needle-like end.
    Tie a knot about 3-4 inches down from the fold of one 5-foot cord, incorporating the 20-inch piece.
    Begin macrame by knotting the cords on a mini macrame board, adding the remaining cords as described in the video.
    Pre-load your selected beads onto the center strands and sides as instructed.
    Continue macrame, alternating knots and adding beads as shown, maintaining the cord order.
    Finish the bracelet by securing the ends, cutting excess cord, and applying final knots for adjustment.

    Happy with the products, but disappointed that it so long to receive it. Item was ordered on April 29th and they shipped on April 30th first class mail- it finally came on May 21st. Good thing it wasn't anything that was needed right away.

    It's obnoxious that the site tries to sell customers other things during the checkout process. The purchase button is brighter and more noticeable than the "No thanks" button, which probably tricks many naive customers and makes them not want to shop here again.
