Tighten the knot. Repeat in the other direction and then over and over again until you have about 2 inches of knots. You may need a longer strand, depending on your wrist size. Repeat on both sides of the heart.

Shape the strands into a bracelet, placing the loose ends side by side. Take a loose string and tie it around the loose strands.

Tie the same knots you did earlier back and forth 5 or 6 times. This allows for an adjustable bracelet.

  2. LOVE this. I have been wanting to make bracelets with some random charms I have from old necklaces and can't figure how to do this whole knot thing. Thanks for the tutorial though.
