This French-made 3 mm braided cotton cord is composed of three colored cotton threads braided with a gold metallic thread.
We'll use it to make DIY costume jewelry and original accessories. Tie it, braid it, wrap it, glue it!
Its pretty color makes us want to wear it on our wrists without adding anything. It's simple: just make an adjustable bracelet by passing the two ends of the cord through a bead stopper, which will allow you to adjust the bracelet while blocking the thread.
A little tip for threading this stopper bead onto your cord: create your own needle with a piece of wire! Use flat-nose pliers to push your needle through the hole in the bead.
How to use this cotton braided cord?
Hang this braided cord on a pretty divider or stamp to make an original, streamlined bracelet. All you need is a cord end and a clasp to attach it to your wrist. Make several and wear it as a multi-row bracelet.
Braid it on a chain bracelet or wrap it around a rush bracelet to create multicolored bracelets.
