Here is what I used:
- leather cording – 28″ is recommended
- lace (hem tape lace is easier to use)
- pearls – I used 16
- thread
- Needle (make sure the needle is thin enough to fit through the size 16 pearls)
- Larger bead to connect (Optional)
Step 1: Cut cord into 2-16 inch pieces. Depending on the size of your wrist, you may need less or more.
Step 2: String thread through needle and first piece of cord. String through pearl and then second piece of cord.
Step 3: String thread back through the same piece of cord. Add another pearl. And string through the first piece of cord. Repeat until you have reached the desired length.
Step 4: Knot thread and cut remnants.
Step 5: Wrap lace between cords and pearls on both sides (after doing this, you should not see the cord anymore).
Step 6: Tie lace around cord at the end.
Step 7: On one side make two knots. One knot should be at the end of the pearl and the other about 3/4 inch. further (this is for the knot on the opposite side of the bracelet, in order to connect around your wrist).
Step 8: Enjoy your new piece of jewelry.
