A braided Bracelet with a silver-plated Peace Sign Pendant

1.   Cut a piece of nylon cord measuring approx. 45cm. Double over and feed the loop through the pendant's eyelet. Then feed the two ends of the cord through the loop and pull. Secure the pendant on the macramé board at the opposite eyelet. Cut a piece of nylon cord measuring approx. 95cm. Double it over and arrange it so that the middle is underneath the two cords attached to the pendant's eyelet. Start braiding. (See idea No. 12499 for braiding instructions).

2.   Braid a section measuring approx. 6-7cm, depending on the desired length of the bracelet. A TIP: You may use a metal clip for attaching the middle cords onto the macramé board when braiding.

3.   Now remove the pendant and attach a piece of nylon cord through the other eyelet and start braiding, following the procedure described in step 1 and 2.

4.   Cut the two braiding cords (not the two cords in the middle) at each end approx. 1 cm from the braided section. Melt the ends with a lighter and immediately push them flat onto the braided section with flatnose pliers or a similar tool.

5.   Place the middle cords parallel and braid an extra piece of cord over the two middle cords using a new piece of cord. Cut, melt and push each end of the braiding cords following the same procedure as described earlier.

6.   Tie the two braiding cords at each side into a knot at each side.
