4. Slip the cords through this loop. This will anchor the cords to the donut.

5. You will work on one side at a time to begin with. So, use a rubber band or twist tie and wrap up one side of the cords. Move these out of your way.

6. Use 4 rubber bands or twist ties to individually wrap up each cord leaving enough cord for you to work with.

7. Now you’re ready to start making knots. Start by making 2 inches of square knots, then slip on one bead.

8. Repeat step 7 two times (square knots, bead, square knots, bead, square knots, bead).

9. Now make 4 1/4 inches of square knots.

10. For now, you are finished working on one side. Wrap the four cords together and set aside.

11. Repeat steps 6-9 for the other side of the necklace.
