The beading is finished with a jade cord, allowing for an adjustable bracelet that fits any wrist thanks to the flat macramé knot technique.

First, cut two pieces of jade cord, each about 60 cm long.
Place the two strands one on top of the other. Thread 6 pale pink beads onto the first strand, then repeat the same step on the second strand.
To secure your stringing, thread a gold bead by passing the top strand from left to right. Next, thread the bottom strand through the same bead, bringing it up from left to right. Gently pull on both strands to secure the assembly. Refer to the diagram.
When you pull on both threads, the colored beads form a link. Alternate the colors as you like.
Repeat the steps until you reach the desired length.
You have now finished threading the cord. Next, we'll move on to making a flat macramé knot. To do this, cut a new piece of jade cord about 20 cm long.
To make your flat macramé knot, I invite you to watch the video to achieve this result.
Once you've finished tying your flat knot, cut off the excess thread used to tie it. Using a lighter, gently melt the remaining ends, then flatten them with the flat part of the lighter to seal the knot securely. You should be left with only the 4 strands used to adjust the bracelet.
For a nice finish, tie a first knot in the center using both strands. Then thread on a bead in the color of your choice, and tie a second knot to hold it in place. Repeat these same steps on the other side of the bracelet. Your bracelet is now finished!
