Introduction: Knot-A-Bracelet

The bracelet that we will be making today is made primarily out of threads. Charms and beads are optional in the production of the bracelet. The bracelet can be made out of a single color thread, or multiple colored threads.

Our instructions are aimed at people who want to create original, simple bracelets in their unique style. It also offers a simple gift opportunity. The bracelets are highly modifiable, which allows them to be used by all sexes. The color and design choices make them suitable for both male use, and female use. These instructions are suitable for anyone from children aged 6 or older, to adults.

In order to provide unique, visually rich, and usable instructions for everybody who wants to produce these threads, we have created this set of instructions. Have fun!

  • Thread (Preferably Polyester)
  • Pair of Scissors
  • Coat Hanger
  • Duck Tape

Step 2: Preparing the Hanger

Place hanger on the table horizontally, leaving the hook off the edge of the table.

Step 3: Fixing the Hanger

Affix hanger to the table with duck tape, making sure it will not move.

Step 4: Preparing the Thread

The distance between your hand and the hook of the hanger should be approximately 50 centimeters (18 inches). This distance should be a little over the distance from the tip of your fingers to your elbow.
