Selecting the right material is the foundation of every string bracelet. Cotton cord, nylon, or embroidery floss are the most beginner friendly options. They are strong, flexible, and available in many colors. Nylon is particularly great because it does not fray and holds knots securely.
Thicker strings create bold and simple bracelets, while thinner strings allow more complex patterns. Experimenting with different textures helps you discover your preferred style.
The most important knots to learn include:
A basic knot used to secure the beginning and end of your bracelet.
Perfect for macrame style bracelets with a clean and flat pattern.
Ideal for adjustable bracelets that fit any wrist without a clasp.
These knots can be practiced on scrap string until you feel comfortable with the motion.
Cut the string long enough to wrap around your wrist with additional length for tying. Secure the starting point with tape or a clip. Begin with a simple knot, then repeat your selected pattern. Use consistent tension to keep the bracelet neat.
If you wish to add beads, choose ones with holes wide enough for your string. Beads add personal meaning and style to your finished design.
Tie the final knot firmly and trim extra string carefully. To make it more durable, you can apply a tiny amount of clear glue on the knot. Sliding knots can be added if you want the bracelet to be adjustable.
Whether handmade or purchased, bracelets hold meaning and create lasting memories. SIMPLÍ BASIC also offers refined, ready to wear options for those who prefer a polished finish.
