Cut two 24" [61 cm] pieces of cord.

#@#

Align the two pieces together and fold in half. Now, thread the fold through a closed jump ring. Grab the ends of the cord, bring them up and over the jump ring, then through the fold of the cord. Pull and tighten the knot.

#@#

Hold all cords together and thread on about 1¼" [3.2 cm] of clay flowers, a seed bead, a large pearl, another seed bead, a clay fruit bead and three more clay flowers.
TIP: ADULT: You may need to help by using a collapsible needle for beads with smaller holes.

#@#

Separate the cords and add seed beads as desired.

#@#

Hold the cords together and thread through three pearl beads.

#@#

Tie the ends onto a closed jump ring.

#@#

Cut a few strands of cord and wrap them around the cord just below the jump ring and align with the excess cord (base of the bracelet).

#@#

Wrap another cod piece around the strands and tie a knot to create a tassel. Trim ends so they are even.

#@#

Add a lobster clasp to the jump ring.
TIP: To open and close a jump ring, simply grasp the jump ring on both sides with chain nose pliers and twist the ring open, from side-to-side. Never pull the jump ring which can cause distortion.
