Choose three different colors of embroidery thread and decide which order you would like them to appear in your design. If the bracelet is for you or someone you are with, wrap the string around their wrist or ankle. Wrap it around 3-4 times, and leave a couple more inches for excess and tying.
Make the knot tight enough that it will stay in place, but not so tight that it cinches your bracelet. As you continue weaving, make sure that these knots lie one right after the other on your bracelet and don’t overlap.
Be sure that you keep track of how many loops you put in the first color. Use the same number of loops for each color to keep the length of each color consistent.
If you want the knot to be more secure, you can tie a double knot.
If the bracelet is for you, have someone help you tie it directly on your wrist for you. Leave it loose enough that you can get it off without untying it, but not so loose it falls off. You should be able to fit two fingers between your wrist and your bracelet. If the bracelet is for a friend, you can tie it directly onto their wrist or ankle for the perfect fit. You can ask your friend to measure their wrist with a flexible tape measure like you would find in a sewing kit. Add an inch to that measurement for the size of your bracelet. [1] X Research source
Add more strings of different colors as you choose. You may also want to separate the colors with some black thread, by tying three black knots between each block of color. Braid the remaining portion of the string on both ends beyond the knot. Tie another knot at the ends of the braids.
