If you don’t have a measuring cord, use your body to approximate! When stretched out to either side, the distance between your fingertips should be approximately equal to your height. If you are close to 5 feet (1. 5 m) tall, cutting a cord that is about the same length as two of your arm spans will do the trick.
If the cord or string will fit around a button or other item that you will use as a clasp, you can add it to the cord directly now. Place it at the top end, where the tie is. Alternatively, you can add this in a later step.
Melt the cut ends of 1 and 2 so that they fuse with the weave. This will stop the bracelet from unraveling when you wear it.
If the bracelet seems too small, sew the button as close to the end of the bracelet as possible. If it seems too big, sew the button further in on the bracelet. Be sure you test the size of your button before you sew it on. If it is small enough to fit through the loop on the bracelet without any help, you’ll need a bigger button. Likewise, if the button cannot fit through the loop at all, you will not be able to put the bracelet on.
