- Tie a knot towards the end of each piece of cording. Then begin stringing the pins. Alternate the direction of the pins as shown in the photos below.
- Test fit your bracelet. Then tie the cording ends together at the top and bottom. Cut off the excess cording and use a lighter to singe the ends.
