The pattern reminds me of flying eagles with the wings widely open – that’s why I picked this name. It is an easy braiding project: 6 threads and the pattern contains 4 rows. Go through 1-4 rows once, then just repeat 4 rows to reach the desired length.
Materials Used
Cotton cords are used in this project. There are 6 embroidery cotton threads, each is 110cm (43 in) long. Cotton is more friendly to the skin and feels more comfortable when wearing the bracelet. Other tools used: clamp or clamp clip, clipboard, measuring tape or ruler, scissor.
You can get the embroidery cotton threads used in this craft in my shop.

Step-by-Step Making Instruction
- Cut 6 threads, each thread is 110cm (43inch) long. 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 1-4 rows.
4. Repeat 1-4 rows until the desired length.
5. Finishing up
Separate 6 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.
Finishing up with one side adjustable sliding closure.
