Instructions
Step 1
Cut an arm-length of elastic cord and add a beading needle.

Step 3
Pick up five beads then pass through one bead from the first circle. Pass through three beads to exit at the end of the newest circle.
Repeat to reach the desired length.
Step 4
Pick up two beads, pass through the end bead of the first circle. Pick up two beads then go through the end bead of the newest circle.
Step 5
Pass through the outer beads down one side of the bracelet. Pass through to the other side of the bracelet then through the outer beads on the opposite side.
Step 6
Tie a knot and trim excess cord. For additional security add a drop of adhesive.
