Creoles with Brazilian bracelet Heart in Slam strings

The model of Brazilian bracelet that we will make is composed of only two different knots. The right knot and the left knot. Here is the diagram to make a right knot. Take the left wire and pass it around the right wire following the pattern. Tighten the loop and place it at the base of the remaining knots. Do this a second time. Then pass the right thread to the left from the front. The edge of the two knots now appears facing you.

The left knot is the reverse of the right knot. Take the right-hand thread and tie it twice around the left-hand thread, then pass the thread from right to left to let the edge of the two knots appear facing you.

Cut 4 x 1.5 m of yarn of each color. Tie them together. If you're making a bracelet with a bow for the fastening, remember to keep more length than shown in the photo. You can attach your bracelet to something heavy, like a travel bag, with a safety pin, or use our special micro-macramé foam board.

Arrange the wires as shown in the photo: 1 light pink, 1 fuchsia, 1 light pink, 1 fuchsia, 1 fuchsia, 1 light pink, 1 fuchsia, 1 light pink.

Tie a straight knot with the light pink yarn over the fuchsia yarn to its right. Remember, to make a full knot, you need to make two loops each time.

Now tie a straight knot on the next light pink thread, always using the first light pink thread.

Then a final right knot on the left center fuchsia thread, still with the same light pink thread.

Here is what you get so far. The light pink thread that was on the far left is now in the center of the bracelet.

Do the same thing on the other side by tying left knots with the light pink thread on the far right. You start by knotting it on the fuchsia thread on its left.

Then, we tie the same light pink thread, to the light pink thread to the left of the first fuchsia thread. Then on the next fuchsia thread.

Finally, tie the two light-colored threads together. Choose a right or left knot for the center and keep this knot all the way through for all the center knots.

Repeat steps 3-10 with the fuchsia wires on the right and left this time.

Here is what you get. The two fuchsia threads on the outside are now knotted in the center.

This time, tie a left-hand knot with the fuchsia thread located to the right of the light pink outer thread.

This is what you get.

Do the same on the other side with a straight knot.

Now take the light pink yarn on the left and tie straight knots on the other two yarns to bring it back to the center.

This is what you get.

Do the same on the other side with two left hand knots. Then tie the two light pink threads together.

Now tie a left-hand knot with the light pink yarn shown.

Do the same thing on the right with a straight knot.

Complete the bracelet by repeating steps 16-18 with the fuchsia thread this time.

Take the light pink yarn on the left and make right knots to bring it back to the center. Take the right pink thread and tie left knots to bring it back to the center. Tie the two pink threads together in the center.

Repeat the previous step with the two outer fuchsia wires.

Repeat steps 13 to 15.

Repeat steps 16 to 18. Continue braiding the Brazilian bracelet by repeating the steps. You need to make the pair of bracelets 23 cm long (11.5 cm per brace). For a bracelet, make the length of your wrist.

Once finished, cut the base of the braid and burn the end with a lighter. Be careful, approach the flame slowly. If the wire catches fire, it will turn black and it won't be pretty.

Glue the braid to the creole starting from the side with the ear stud. You can use jewelry glue or strong glue. Hold the weave in place while the glue dries with small wooden clips. Remove them after an hour.

Cut the other side and melt the wire with the lighter.

You can also glue your weaving on this type of bracelet.
