Double Chain Ring Tutorial

This tutorial is on how to make these really simple and cute rings. You will need to be able to make the double chain knot (here is my tutorial on it braceletsfromnl.blogspot.ca/2013/01/double-chain-knot-tutorial.html)

Supplies
String, glue and scissors 

Step 1
Make the double chain knot until it is long enough to fit around you finger.
Do not tie an overhand knot at the end!

Step 2
Wrap your bracelet around your finger so that it is shaped like a circle. Take the stings at the end of your bracelet and tie a knot around the knot at the top of your bracelet. 

Step 3 
Cut the excess string as close to the knot as possible.

Step 4 
Apply some glue around the knot so it stays. Let the glue drie and you are ready to wear your new ring!  

Double Chain Knot Tutorial

This bracelet is really cute and looks great if you use colors that really contrast each other. It also looks great with a larger bracelet.

Supplies 
Two colors of embroidery floss(three of each color)
I'll be using red and blue for this tutorial.

Step 1
Tie an overhand knot at the top(leave enough string so you can tie the bracelet!) and set your strings up so that the red strings are in a group and the blue strings are in a group. The red strings need to be on the left and the blue strings on the right.

Step 2
Take your red strings and tie a single fk over the blue strings.(make sure you only make half the knot)

Step 3 
Take you blue strings and tie a single bk over the red strings.(make sure you only make half the knot.)

Step 4 
Continue steps 2 and 3 until your bracelet is the right legnth. 

Step 5 
Tie an overhand at the end and you are done!




note: as you tie this bracelet, the red strings should always remain on the left and the blue strings always on the right. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial!
