Today I will show you how to create an original and elegant bracelet using satin cord and beads. Despite its intricate appearance, this bracelet is surprisingly simple to make. This tutorial is suitable for both beginners and experienced crafters. I hope you enjoy this Mandala Knot Bracelet!
A mandala is a complex, abstract design, usually circular in shape, used in various spiritual traditions as a tool for meditation and connection with the spiritual universe. The word "mandala" comes from the ancient Sanskrit language, roughly translating to "circle" or "center." In Hinduism and Buddhism, mandalas represent the universe and are used as meditative aids. Creating and contemplating mandalas helps people focus and achieve a meditative state.
Here, I used 1.5mm satin cord.
Cord sizes:
1 x 150 cm / 59 inch
5 x 6 mm beads
The bracelet may lose its shape if it is pulled, but it easily returns to its original form. See how to do this at 5:49.
⚠️⚠️⚠️ I use different colored cords in the tutorial to make it easier to see where the threads go. However, this tutorial is for a single-color bracelet, and you can continue making it with the same color cord.
To make a bracelet with two colors, take two 75 cm cords of different colors, burn the ends with a lighter, and connect them so that they stick. Alternatively, you can simply tie a knot to create a loop for the clasp or use a different type of clasp.
Thank you for watching! I hope you enjoyed crafting this beautiful macrame bracelet with me.
