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.
