Finishing off the Bracelet

Every time you finish off a bracelet, braid the threads as shown in the picture: then tie the ends of the braids into knots to secure them.

Finish off the bracelets with anything that strikes your fancy: shells, charms, beads, buttons, or anything else that matches the color and design of your bracelet. While you’re making the bracelets, thread a few strands through beads or button holes or, as shown in the image, thread them through jump rings looped through holes drilled into shells (a lot of clam shells, cockle shells and other types of mollusk shells already have perfectly circular holes in them, perfect for attaching jump rings). Jump rings are available in the jewelry-making section of craft stores everywhere.

Keep tying knots until your bracelet has reached the desired length; then finish it off with braids and secure them with knots.
