  • Gather 7 strands of embroidery floss in the colors of your choice. Cut each of the solid colors to 20" long strands for an adult size and 16" for kids.
  • Tie a knot and place into the center hole of the disc.
  • Place one piece of thread into each slot leaving one remaining space empty.
  • Turn the disc so that the blank slot is in front of you. Count three spaces to the right and move that string to the empty space.

  • Repeat this process (counting 3 spaces and moving that string) until the bracelet is the length that you wish.
  • Run your fingers through the handing threads every so often to keep them from getting tangled.
  • When you have reached the desired length tie the ends into a knot and finish the way you like best.
