[my DIY] Knot Chain Bracelet

 After admiring the awesomeness of Refinery 29's DIY friendship bracelet, they asked me to come up with additional piece of jewelry to add to mine (and theirs) ever growing collection of wrist candy. I took the challenge, and mixed chain with my current knotting technique of choice, to create a pretty pastel bracelet, similar to past styles seen here and here.
Steps after the break...

Supplies:

2 pieces of 3 inch chain (MJtrim.com)

1 yard of suede (MJtrim.com) 

Jewelry pliers

Jump Rings

Lobster Clasp

Step-by-step (picture of all the steps here)

1. Cut rope in half 

2. Thread both pieces through the bottom link of the chain

3. Next, set up your workspace by taping the top of your chain, and bottom of one of the pieces of suede rope

4. Cross the rope on the right over the middle two pieces 

5. Cross the left rope over the right one

6. Tricky step: Take the left piece and cross under the two middle pieces, and through the loop on the right side

7. Put the left and right side  

8. Create your first knot

9. Next repeat the process starting on the left side, crossing the left side over the two middle pieces

10. Cross the right rope over the left rope

11. Take the right piece and cross under the two middle pieces, and through the loop on the left side

12. Pull tight

13. Continue the process for 2 inches

14. Thread the two middle pieces through your second piece of chain

15. Knot your rope to secure to the chain. Dab a bit of super glue on the knot to hold.

16. Using your pliers connect the chain to the lobster clasp with your jump ring

17. Add 3 jump rings to the other end
