Instructions on Construction:

First Bracelet – “White Bowtie Bracelet”

1. Cut 1 x 12” pieces of Stretch Magic, pre-stretch cord then attach bead stop to one end of stretch cord about 2 1/2” from end.

2. Add (1 x 8mm rd. mother of pearl, 1 x 6mm rd. mother of pearl - repeat five times), add 1 x triangle (with point facing away), 1 x 8mm abalone in bayong wood, 1 x triangle (point facing in), add (1 x 6mm rd. mother of pearl, 1 x 8mm mother of pearl – repeat five times), thread one of the tails back through 8mm mother of pearl.

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 :)
