    Starting the Bracelet: Begin by creating a knot and attaching a button or forming a slip knot for the clasp.
    Adding Beads: Place the beads on the cord according to the design, ensuring they fit the cord's thickness.
    Knotting Technique: Employ the herringbone knotting technique, starting with the topmost cord and alternating sides to create a symmetrical pattern.
    Finishing Touches: Conclude the bracelet by tapering the end knots to mimic the beginning and secure any loose ends with a thread burner or lighter.
