DIY Satin Cord Bracelet
You do not necessarily have to spend a lot of money to give someone a thoughtful jewelry gift. Friendship bracelets are homemade designs, which you can make from strands of satin cord knotted and woven together. You can then give the bracelet to a friend in indication of your friendship, and the time and effort you spent creating the design will be much appreciated.

Feed the far-left cord over the cord to the right of it. Pass it back under and through the created loop. Pull the cord tight to make a knot on the second cord. Repeat this with the far-left cord on all cords in the row. The far-left cord will now be positioned on the far right of the arrangement. Repeat the procedure with the new far-left cord to make another row of knots. Continue to do this until the bracelet is long enough.
