I bought everything I needed (materials wise) for this bracelet at Home Depot for less than $10.
Shopping List:
- Neon Cord - 5/32" Diamond Braid Poly, All-Purpose Cord. I bought blue, but it comes in other colors.
- 1/4" - 20 Hex Nuts or machine nuts.
- 1" S hooks
Tools from home:
- size N crochet hook
- large eye needle
- sturdy pliers
Thread about 20 nuts onto your cord. Start off with a slip knot around your hook, leaving about a 4" tail
Slide 1 nut against the knot and work your chain stitch, the nut should fall onto the "back" of the chain.
Slide 1 nut against work and chain 1. Repeat to desired length. You probably won't need all of the nuts, I only needed about a dozen, but extra is always good.
To add your closure, unravel the outer layer of the cord until about 1" from your work. Cut off the inner core. With your needle, weave the unraveled ends back through your work.
Repeat for other end. Slip S hook into one loop, and squeeze closed with the pliers. Leave the other end open so you have an S clasp.
