This bracelet uses 3 shades of red: burgundy, red and pink. It is an easy braid project of 2-row pattern. Once you get through the first 2 rows of braiding, the rest is just a repetition of the first 2 rows. Of course, be creative and use 3 shades of any colour of your choice, I bet you’ll be satisfied with the end result!
Materials Used
10 cords are needed and each of them is 120cm (47 inch) long. i.e. 10x120cm (47 inch). The cord used in this project is 100% cotton. Cotton is more friendly to the skin and feels more comfortable when wearing the bracelet. You can get the embroidery cotton threads used in this craft either in a local crafting store or in my shop.
Other tools used: clamp or clamp clip, a board with a big clamp, ruler, scissor.

Step-by-Step Making Instruction
- Cut 10 cords, 120cm (47 inch) each. Line them up in the following order.
2. Leave ~15cm (5.9in) on the top and fix it with the clamp.
3. Fix it with a second clamp. Then follow the pattern to start braiding the first row.
4. Finishing up
Separate 10 threads into 3 groups. Braid till reaching ~15cm in length, then tie a loop to close it, afterwards tighten it up by pulling each thread, and trim the extra.
Do the same on the other end for the reserved 15cm at the beginning.
