In this video tutorial from PotomacBeads, Allie teaches you how use metal connectors with leather or cotton cording to make easy bracelets for anyone!
The Designer's suggested colors and materials:
Prepare Your Materials: Gather the peapod connector, 6mm chakra beads, Chinese knotting cord, and other materials.
Prep the Knotting Cord: Apply a small amount of Super New Glue to the ends of your Chinese knotting cord to stiffen them, making it easier to thread through the beads.
Thread the Beads: Once the glue has dried, thread your selected chakra beads through the peapod connector using the prepared Chinese knotting cord.
Secure the Beads: After adding the beads to the connector, use the knotting cord to tie off and secure the beads in place, ensuring they're tightly fixed.
Finish the Bracelet: Utilize your chosen finishing method (knotting, using wire, etc.) to complete the bracelet and add any final touches or adjustments.
