≈EXTENDED≈ SETUP:

If you want to get really technical you can use two different size strands to save yourself some string. Some of these strands in this bracelet get shorter than others so if you'd like you can try to even this out by cutting your short sizes and long sizes.

After cutting the two different sized lengths just fold the long strings and the short strings in half separately and then line them up at the folds prior to tying your overhand knot for the loop. You will now have two different lengths gathered evenly at their mid points.

☼ If you are unsure about your ability to follow the instructions below feel free to just cut all strands 70-75" inches long and don't worry about it.

Where do the long and short strings go? Follow this guide:

■Long Strings (70"-75" inches)
◘Short Strings (65" inches)

■Gray ◘Black ■Gray ■Black ◘Gray ■Black ■Gray ◘Black ■Gray ◘Gray

THE BREAKDOWN:
Two long "1/Gray" strands.
One short "1/Gray" strand.

One long "2/Black" strands.
One short "2/Black" strands.

☼ NOTE: The cardboard loom may be useful for starting this bracelet.
