For this bracelet you will need 5 strings (3 different colors and 2 of the same color) at 65 inches long. Set up your strings as usual by folding them in half to form a loop to tie your bracelet on.

Set up your strings as follows: 1 2 2 3 4 -fold- 4 3 2 2 1

For my bracelet 1-Yellow 2-Black 3-Pink 4-Blue.
(In order to substitute your own custom colors replace the color I have written out by adding your own behind the number. EX: 1-Yellow could be 1-Green)

To finish your bracelet separate the tail into two equal parts. Braid each of the sections (Until they are about 2 1/2 inches) and then tie an overhand knot to secure the braid.

To wear just pull one of the braided tails through the loop and then tie the two braids together.

Your knots always look perfect!

[BeyondBracelets]

@karahhhhx3 Keep practicing and yours will too. It took me a very long time to 'master' bracelet making and I still get mixed up sometimes. You are making tons of knots... so even for masters there is also a chance you will goof on something. =P

[thehottiezofhotchip]

@beyondbracelets Hey! I was wondering, is it normal for the first diamond to be smaller? I figured because it was closer to the top knot. Thanks :D

[BeyondBracelets]

@thehottiezofhotchip Yeah, that's normal. The top knot condenses the knots and makes it really deformed- happens to mine all the time. It takes about three rows for the knots to settle and spread out.

[Slimeya]

this is gonna take forever to finish

[BeyondBracelets]

@Slimeya Yeah, it can take a bit of time.
