Prepare
Cut your thread and line them up. Tie a knot 1/2 inch from the end. Clip that onto the board, or tape it to a flat surface. Separate the two colours.
Knotting (1)
Take the first colour (all of them) and make a four over the second on. (in my case, blue is 1 and black is 2)wrap it under to the left then pull it over the four's hole. Make sure it's tight.
Knotting (2)
Now we do the opposite to the second colour. Make a backwards four over the first colour, then fold it under to the right and pull it out through the hole.
Continue
Proceed in this pattern; add beads by threading them onto a colour group and knot it.
End It
When the length of the bracelet is a little longer than the circumference of your wrist, take it off the surface and tie the ends together. THEN WEAR IT (or give it) :) Thanks for reading!
