Remember to Breathe Bracelet Tutorial
TierraCast's "Breathe" link pairs perfectly with dumortierite, which is frequently used to release fear, bring courage into one's life, and boost creativity and expression.
Tight knots make it difficult to sew the tails back in, and you can break your needle. Pliers can help to get the needle through. Sew the tail back through the entire section of knots to ensure that it doesn't back out.
The length of cord to cut for the clasp says 12" in the tutorial, but this leaves little to work with at the end, so I increased it to 18".
The sliding clasp can be made longer as desired to fill any gaps left when pulled snug.
The entire bracelet is adjustable. The knots can be scrunched together or pulled apart on the anchor cords in order to adjust length.
I separated the cord at the ends with a needle to form a little tassel.
