First, move the first thread over the top of the 2nd thread. Make sure to leave some of the first strand on the other side so that there is a loop. Bring the first thread behind the second thread and then pull it through the loop. Hold the second thread firmly while you pull on the first thread. As you do this, a knot will move up to the top of the second thread. Now, you’re done with your first knot. Not so bad, right?
Make sure that you pull on the thread just until you feel resistance. Be careful not to pull too tight! If some knots are tighter than others, the bracelet will look lumpy and uneven instead of neat and sleek.

Now, just repeat! Continue this pattern – right over center, left over center – until you’ve reached the desired length of braid, which should be about an inch (2. 54cm) or less.
All done! Give it to a good friend, try your hand at selling it, or keep it if it’s too beautiful to part with.
