Step 1

Cut a 6" [15.2 cm] length of stretch cord.

Step 2

Thread your beads onto the length of cord as needed for your ring.
TIP: Add a bead stopper to the end of your stretch cord so your beads do not fall off as you string.

Step 3

Tie the stretch cord in a tight surgeon’s knot, then tuck its ends back through the closest beads.

Step 4

Add a dab of bead stringing glue to the knot. Now, pull the ends tight, so the two adjacent beads press together tightly, hiding the knot. Trim the ends of the stretch cord, then set your bracelet aside to dry before you wear.
TIP: Use a toothpick to add glue to smaller places to reach directly from the tube.
