Bracelet tressé ou chaîne de cheville avec des coquillages

1   Cut a 30 cm and two 65 cm pieces of macramé cord. Attach all three cords onto a clip board, placing the short cord in the middle. Start by making three braided knots around the middle cord using the two long cords.

2   Thread on a sea shell as shown in the picture.

3   Make two braided knots between each sea shell.

4   Place the next sea shell as shown in the picture.

5   The number of shells depends on the length of the bracelet/ankle chain.

6   Finish with three braided knots. Cut off the ends of the two cords and lightly melt both ends.

7   Cut a new approx. 30 cm piece of cord. Place the two ends of the bracelet parallel and braid around these with the new piece of cord. Finish with a knot.

8   Cut off the excess cord and melt the cord ends lightly with a lighter.
