 To assemble this bracelet:

  1. Before stringing, place a bead stopper or tape about 2" from one end of the stretchy cord to keep beads from sliding off.
  2. String up all the beads on the cord. Start with stringing the sequence of  wooden beads first.  Follow the website picture for the sequence of the beads. (The reason for starting with a wooden bead is to be able to hide the end knot in the large hold of the bead.)
  3. You may wish to place a bead stopper or tape on the open end of the bracelet to test for fit on your wrist.  If too long, remove some beads. 
  4.  With your chain nose pliers, open a jump ring and place on one of the charms. On the other end of the jump ring, place another ring.  Close the first jump ring and open the second.  Place the second open jump ring in the middle of the 4-bead cluster on the cord.  Close the jump ring using your pliers.  (Using 2 pliers makes it easier.)
  5. Repeat Step 4 with the other charm.
  6. Remove the tape from both ends.  Make a surgeon's knot with the 2 cord ends.   Tighten the cord until secure. 
  7. Test to see if you can hide the knot in the wooden bead.  Remove and knot from the bead and continue to Step 8.
  8. To ensure your knot is secure, put a drop of Superglue or nail polish on the knot and quickly move to inside the wooden bead.
  9. Allow glue to dry.
  10. Cut off the excess cord ends.
  11. Admire your lovely new bracelet!
