Lay out 12 inches of bead cord onto a flat surface and cut with wire cutters. Place 2 to 4 inches of the cord through the clasp eyelet and bend in half. String a crimp bead onto the cord and position it below the clasp eyelet. Flatten the crimp bead with chain nose pliers to secure the end.

Place the small beads onto the bead cord individually, following the design as created on the cotton towel. Like sewing, lift the cord up into the air to allow each bead to fall into place.

String a second crimp bead onto the cord once the last bead has been strung through. Fold the remaining 2 to 4 inches of cord in half and string it through the crimp bead.

Flatten the crimp bead with the chain nose pliers to secure the bracelet and tuck 1 inch of cord into the beads. Cut the remaining bead cord with wire cutters.
