Sailor's Knot Bracelet Instructions

Step 1

Cut three yards of cotton twine and wrap it around your rounded object, creating an "X" pattern. Leave at least five inches because this is where you will tie the ends of the wristband later.

Use the longer cord and wrap it around the round object. Weave it onto the bottom right twine, beneath the top right piece, and above the upper left rope.

Get the longer rope and follow the first string, braiding in and out, all the way to the starting point. Repeat this step twice to create a braid with three strands.

Apply Fray Check or clear nail polish to the tips to stop them from fraying, then braid them back to the flow of the wristband.
