Start by cutting your cords in half to give you a total of 6 wires. Take a cord end cap, place a drop of glue inside and attach the wires. Wait a little while for the glue to dry, to make sure everything holds together.
Next, gather the same-colored threads and braid them.
Once you're happy with the length of the braid, cut it off and, as in the first step, glue the thread ends into a ferrule. Be careful to hold the wires, as they can unravel.
Then thread the rings through the braid. To ensure they all have the same gap, hook onto the same color of thread. Here, I've hooked the rings onto the pink wires.
Thread the charms onto the rings and close tightly.
Finally, attach the clasp to one of the end pieces with a ring.
