I used cotton string so I had to use glue. If you use a plastic based string, like nylon, you can use a lighter and melt the edges. The ends are just how I make it. Look for other options on YouTube.

Choose a base color, this color is only seen on the ends.

Choose 3 colors that will make the wave of the bracelet.

Cut 1 yard of the base string, cut 3 more. There should be 4 overall.

Cut 1 yard of each wave color then fold in half and cut at the top.

Tie a temporary knot about 3 inches from the top.

Attach your strings so that they don't move. I use a clipboard.

Separate the base color from the rest. There should be 8.

Separate the 8 strings into 4. Now you have 4 strings together that count as 1.

Separate your strings in the order you want them to be.

Take strings 6 and 7.

Repeat steps 12 and 13 with the rest of the strings keeping them in order.

Make a round braid using four of the base strings. Video on next slide.

Ta da! To make an adjustable knot see my guide for that.
