HEX NUT BRACELET
You’ll need:
- 3 strands of cotton butcher’s twine cut into one yard pieces
- 18 small brass hex nuts
- a bit of dexterity!
Gather the 3
strands of twine and tie a knot at the top, leaving about 2 inches of
slack. Start braiding. At about an inch of the way down, you’ll begin
braiding in the nuts. Before you braid the far left strand over the
middle strand, thread on a nut, push it against the base of the braid,
and crossover. Depending on the thickness of the twine, you can wrap
tape around the bottom tips to prevent the twine from fraying.
Keep your thumb at the base of the braid,
holding the nut in its place. Before you braid the far right strand over
the middle, thread on another nut, push it against the base of the
braid and crossover. Again, hold your thumb tightly against the base of
the braid, keeping the nuts in place. Thread another nut onto the far
left piece and crossover.
Repeat the steps, by threading the rest of
the nuts to the outer pieces of twine before they are crossed over.
Thread, cross, thread, cross. Finish the bracelet with another inch of
braided twine and a knot.
The bracelet should wrap around your wrist at least two or three times. Trim it to your liking
Good Luck
