Bracelet with Kumihimo Knotting Technique

You can make these bracelets yourself right now! Many things are possible with the Kumihimo knotting technique. This pattern is just one of many! 

Cut about 60cm for each strand you use (6x dark green, 6x gray green and 4x gold yellow). Make a knot with all the strands and put this end into the kumihimo disc.Then look at the drawing for the layout of the strands and the pattern. Continue until your bracelet is long enough and tie a knot in all the strands. Cut off the excess thread and attach the end cap to both ends. Do this by using glue. Wait until the glue is thoroughly dry and then cut a piece of 5 links to attach to the end cap. Use a jumpring to attach an extension chain to the end cap and a lobster clasp to the link chain. And then your bracelet is finished!
