How to make:
While making this bracelet, thread your beads 1-by-1 on the S-lon cord, as there will be a knot between each gemstone bead. Often, with a bracelet on your wrist, you can already measure out well how much cord you'll need. With this design it's a bit harder, since there will be a lot of knots in between. Keep that in mind.
Wrap a larger length than normal S-lon cord from the roll. You don't need to cut this off yet. Then start making a knot, followed by a gemstone bead. Repeat until your bracelet is long enough and finish it with a lobster clasp.
For a better image, watch this video tutorial on Instagram. I found it helpful, as shown in the video tutorial, to use flat nose pliers while tightening the knots. That way the knots will be very close to the beads.
