repost - three strand sailor's bracelet collection #130

Here's a repost of the traditional sailor's bracelets done in nylon cord. These are three strand "narrow" turks heads available through many outlets and online. 

These bracelets are left loose and may be worked up to a smaller size by removing slack from the knot. The ends may then be trimmed for a neat appearance.

These will not shrink when wet because they are made of nylon.
Request one or more of these by visiting the Etsy store and reference item #130

Here's an unusual and interesting design that has a variable number of parts depending on where around the knot you are looking.

The design comes from a dutch website so the language barrier is overcome by the graphics including an animated diagram showing the arrangement of the parts. There is also a nice step by step set of diagrams to follow. This example is made from 1/8" nylon braided cord. You can find this material at hardware stores or home improvement warehouses.


Here's a link to one of these in the ArtFire store click here if this item is sold out please message me for a restock. Here's another made with #24 cotton cord in he Zibbet collection:  click here
