Arrange all of the strands grouped together. Form a loop in the group toward one of the ends. Feed the loose long end into the loop and pull the knot tight. The strands are now secured together. Attach a safety pin to the knot and attach the knot to your pants, for use as an anchor when making the bracelet.

Pass the red cord on the left over and under the red cord next to it. Feed the loose end back through the created loop so it finishes in front of the red left strand. Pull the knot tight. Repeat this with the red cords on the two yellow cords and two green cords farther down the row, so the red cord ends up on the right of the cord arrangement. Repeat the process with the next cord down the line from the left and so on. A striped design in the Rasta colors will be created. Continue to make the bracelet until it is as long as you want.
