    Materials Used To make The  Project

    Designer's Material List

    The Designer’s suggested colors and materials:
  • Peapod connector
  • 6mm chakra beads
  • 2mm faceted rondelles (smoky quartz)
  • Chinese knotting cord
  • Super New Glue
  • Wire (for alternative method)
  • Step-By-Step Instructions

    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.
