Neon Wapped Bracelet, DIY

Neon Wrapped Bracelet.

This would also look good Red, White and Blue for July 4th

Tutorial

Things you need.

1. Neon rope ~Lowes
2. Neon cord Walmart
3. Glue
4. Scissors

 Cut your cord 16 inches long and fold in half.

 Tie a knot in each end, leaving a loop at one end.

Cut a piece of  pink neon rope about 4 feet.

 I always cut too much. 

(Getting to the end and not having enough rope in not my idea of fun:)

Take your neon rope and tie a slip knot on one end.

 Pull tight

 then start weaving the rope like the picture above.

 Tie the end off, cut off excess rope.

 and place a drop of glue on each knot.

 Mix up your colors however you feel.

Fun weekend project.

Happy Friday.
