Double Strand Bracelet with Slide on Clasp

Make a customizable and adjustable bracelet using your favorite beads, Griffin Silk Cord and Slide on Clasps.

Make sure to check out our FB video we did LIVE running through how easy it is making this bracelet. We made an adjustable bracelet with double strands of griffin cord strung with a side of metal beads and the other with seed beads and 4mm Gemstone beads.

What you’ll need:

• Griffin Silk Cord (Make sure to get Size No. 2 OR No. 4 and you’ll need a quantity of TWO)
• 4mm Gemstone Round Beads
• 11/0 Seed beads
• Metal Beads
• 4x5mm Slide on Clasp (Silver/Gold/Brass)

Directions

1. Unravel both your Silk Cord from its card and straighten them by running them through a wet towel a few times.
   
2. Flush both cord ends together and make an overhand knot with both ends.
3. Using both needles, slide on a gemstone bead.
4. Make another overhand knot with both cords about 4″ from the first knot you’ve made.
5. Using both needles, slide on the Slide on Clasp and pull it down next to the knot you’ve made.
6. With one silk cord, slide on a sequence of seed bead and metal bead until the length of these beads are long enough to wrap around your wrist. Make sure to end with a seed bead. Set this cord and needle aside.
7. With the other silk cord, slide on a sequence of seed bead and 4mm gemstone until the length of these beads are the same as the ones in step 6. Make sure to send with a seed bead..
8. Take both cords and make an overhand knot close enough to your seed bead.
9. Sew both needle through the Slide on Clasp, going the same way as you did in Step 4. This will criss cross the ends.
10. Using both needles, slide on a gemstone bead.
11. Slide the bracelet around your wrist to the widest part, which is around the middle part of your hand. This will lengthen your cord ends and determine where you will knot your ending knot. Make your knot and cut off excess cord.
12. The other end will be longer, so you will need to make another knot to sit closer to the Slide on Clasp.
13. Done! Slide your bracelet on and with your middle finger, hold one gemstone end while you pull the other gemstone end with your other hand to cinch the bracelet around your wrist.
