Introduction: USB Cord Bracelet / Anti-tangling
This will show you how to make a bracelet out of a 3-foot USB cord.
It will fit a 6-7 inch wrist nicely, if you have a smaller wrist you can use a smaller cord.
You can also use this to keep any cords or wires from tangling (steps 1-8) it also shortens it to about 4th of it's original size.
Step 1: The Chain Knot
The method used is called a "chain knot" which i'll use in these instructions.
To begin make a small loop near one of the USB heads.
Step 2:
Form the part above the loop into an small arch as shown.
Step 3:
Push the arch through the loop.
Step 4:
Now tighten, make sure its as tight as you can get it!
You should have a loop coming out of the old loop.
Step 5:
Now, like before, make an arch with the cord as shown.
Step 6:
And push the arch through the loop.
Then tighten.
Repeat this about 8-9 more times and move to next step.
Remember, as it goes on you'll keep making arches and putting them through the loops. You'll pretty much be repeating steps 1-7.
Step 7:
When finished "linking" it should look something like this.
Step 8:
Step 9: Make the Bracelet
Loosen the other end. (see image)
Step 10:
You'll be doing this next part on your wrist, but you can wriggle it on later if you want.
Put the opposite head through the loosened end.
Step 11:
Tighten the end you put the head through.
Step 12:
now put the other head through the other loosened end (You should have left it loose on step 8. )
Step 13:
...And tighten.
Step 14: Finish
Now your done! Wear it, give it, use it, enjoy!
