Basic Twisted Bracelet

• 1). Cut three strands of thread, each about 24 inches long.
  
  
• 2). Tie one end together with a simple square knot.
  
  
• 3). Tape the knotted end to a table or other sturdy surface.
  
  
• 4). Hold the strings together, and twist until your bracelet is about 17 inches long.
  
  
• 5). Hold the twist in one hand and place a finger from your other hand in the middle. Fold the bracelet in half.
  
  
• 6). Take your finger out and the twist will twist around itself. Flatten out any kinks by gently pulling on the bottom.
  
  
• 7). String with peace and love decorations if you choose.
  
  
• 8). Tie the loose ends with a square knot.
