Learn how to make your own cord bracelet with gold-tone stainless steel beads and a push-on letter with this tutorial. This DIY jewelry tutorial is for anyone who wants to create a unique, meaningful piece without needing any special jewelry-making skills.
The bracelet combines a thin cord, carefully knotted, with a few subtle gold-tone beads and a gold-tone metal letter to create a personalized letter bracelet perfect for everyday wear. This design is inspired by the style of an adjustable bracelet, designed to fit easily around the wrist using a system of sliding knots, without a complicated clasp.
This type of minimalist jewelry charms with its versatility: it slips just as easily under a shirt sleeve as it does on a bare wrist, and pairs beautifully with other delicate bracelets for a subtle layered look. You can choose the cord color to suit your taste, while the gold letter adds a personal and symbolic touch—perfect for representing a cherished initial, a first name, or a special memory.

Start by cutting two pieces of cord. Here, I cut about 30 cm for a small wrist.
Here, I'll explain how to tie a macramé knot to easily close the bracelet. I chose this knot because I find it's a practical way to close the bracelet so it can easily adjust to fit your wrist.
To begin, fold the left end of your bracelet over to the right and the right end over to the left.
Tie the knot tightly. Repeat the same step, but in reverse.
This time, the bottom strand goes over the strands of the bracelet and back up. Then the top strand crosses over the strand above it, goes under the bottom strands, and enters the loop at the bottom.
You can repeat this step for a few knots, making sure to switch directions for each knot.
