How to make it

You start by cutting 2 pieces of waxcord (about 40cm, whatever is left you can cut away afterwards) You start with 1 piece of waxcord which you fold in half, so it can go through the eyelet of the connector, then pull the remaining wire through the loop of waxcord so that you make a kind of knot and your waxcord is attached to the connector.

Then it's handy to then attach the insert with wax cord to something (To a clipboard or with tape) Then start stringing the beads, first a gold bead through both wires. Then 4 left (Color) and 4 right (Gold) Then again both through 1 gold bead. Then again 4 left (Gold) and 4 right (Color).

Then tie a knot in the wax cord so the beads are secure, and then we are going to attach the shell. You do this by putting one wax cord along the top of the shell, and the other thread along the bottom. Then you put another knot in it. Then continue with the beads until you have the desired length for your bracelet/ankle strap.

Finally we will finish the bracelet with a sliding knot, which is explained in the video below.
