diy evil eye bracelet

I am in love with these bracelets. Best part about them is that they are a do-it-yourself project. YES! Thanks to Honestly...WTF.

You will need:

• evil eye or hamsa charm
• 12 inches of chinese knotting cord
• scissors
• lighter

Thread 4 inches of cord through one side of the charm. Fold 2 inches of cord back on itself and then again to create a zig zag.

Fold an inch of the tip down over the parallel cords. Coil the cord three times towards the loop.

Thread the tip through the opening of the left loop.

Push the coil to the left and pull the tip until the knot is tight. Test the adjustable knot by sliding it towards the base of the charm. The excess cord will be trimmed later.

Thread the other end of the cord through the opposite side of the charm and create the same zig zag.

Coil the tip around all the cords three times and thread the tip through the loop.

Push the coil to the left and pull the tip until the knot is tight. Trim both ends, leaving approximately 2-3mm.

Melt the ends with a lighter.

Your bracelet is finished . . .

And you’re now protected against the evil eye!
