For the braided bracelet, cut three strands of 36" lengths of four (or more) colors of floss.

#@#

Align the ends so they are all even; then tie a double overhand knot a few inches from one end and tape the floss to your working space, above the knot.

#@#

Separate your strands into three sections, with one strand of each color in each section. Braid the three sections until you reach the desired length. Tie a double overhand knot just below the last braid. Set aside.

#@#

For the translucent beaded bracelet, cut five 15" piece of floss, repeat Step 2; then thread pony beads onto the floss strands until you have the desired length of your bracelet. Tie a knot right after the last pony bead. Set aside.

#@#

For the stretch bracelets, Cut a 10" piece of stretch cord. Add your beads. Tie a surgeon’s knot to close and tuck in ends. Add a dab of glue over the knot and let dry.
TIP: To make a double stacking of words, cut two 10" pieces of stretch cord, add the words to each strand then hold the threads together on each side to add pony beads.

#@#

Tie the bracelets onto your (or your friends) wrist and trim the ends.
