Materials Needed:
- Embroidery floss or thread in your choice of colors
- Scissors
- Tape or a clip (optional, for securing)
Instructions:

Cut Your Threads:
- Cut three or more pieces of embroidery floss, each about 12-18 inches long. You can use different colors for a more vibrant bracelet.

Secure the Threads:
- Tie a knot at one end of the threads, leaving a small loop. Secure this end to a table or surface with tape or a clip.

Start Weaving:
- Separate the threads and arrange them in the order you prefer. For a basic woven bracelet, you can use a simple overhand knot technique:

Finish the Bracelet:
- Once you’ve reached the desired length, tie a knot at the end of the woven section to secure it.

Create a Closure (Optional):
- You can make a simple tie-on closure by leaving extra length at both ends of the bracelet for tying it on your wrist. Alternatively, you can add beads or clasps for a more polished look.
Feel free to experiment with different patterns and colors to make your bracelet unique!
