3. Tie three square knots and tighten firmly between each knot.

4. Thread one of the tails back through the silver stardust bead, add a dab of hypo cement onto the knot (from all sides). Pull tail to center knot in the middle of the stardust bead, you should have one tail sticking out either side of the bead.

5. Leave the bracelet for at least a couple of hours for the hypo cement to set up, then trim tails. You can hold onto one tail, pull the opposite tail & trim close as you can. The other side you just trim as close as you can as you have nothing to hold onto :)
