Leather cord (1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm. Amount depends on your wrist size)

The average female bracelet size is between 6-7". My wrist is 6.5" wrapped snug. I want to accommodate for knots, etc. so I measured out a couple extra inches and cut about a 12" cord.

String the bracelet with the beads you want and then move them to the center of the bracelet.

Tie knots on both sides of the beads.

Slide (at least) one more bead onto one end of the bracelet and then tie a knot at the end of the cord. The bead should be large enough to accommodate both cord ends.

Slide the other cord through the bead and tie another knot. These ends are how you will loosen or tighten your bracelet!

Wear!

Try out your bracelet and if you feel the ends are too long, undo the knots tie them further up the bracelet. Cut off the excess.
