I had pinned a lot of knotted bracelets to my "DIY to try" board, but Hubby joined in to help us try out a few different knots before finding an awesome one that lies flat, works perfectly and looks so sweet. Supplies: Cord (two strands approximately 22" long each)Two 1" gold ribbon crimp ends (they also come in silver)Lobster clasp with tag connector and two jump rings Needle nose pliersGel Epoxy (E-6000 glue works too)Toothpick & scrap cardboard (to mix the epoxy)ScissorsTape Before you get started, open up the crimp ends a little, using pliers.
