This kit allows for the creation of 10 unique cord and tassel charm bracelets. The following steps outline general methods for assembly. Experiment with different combinations to personalize your designs.

2. Assembling Beaded Bracelets
- Cut a length of elastic cord appropriate for wrist size, adding extra for knotting.
- Thread beads onto the elastic cord in your desired pattern.
- Once all beads are threaded, tie a secure double knot. Trim excess cord, leaving a small tail.
3. Incorporating Chains and Charms
- Use the gold chains as a base for bracelets or as decorative elements. Chains can be cut to length using appropriate tools (not included).
- Attach charms (pompom, gem, or character charms) to chains or beaded bracelets using the small rings provided. Open the ring gently with pliers (not included), attach the charm and bracelet, then close the ring securely.
- Tassels can be attached similarly to charms, adding a decorative accent.
4. Cord-Wrapped Bracelets
Some designs may involve wrapping cords around a base or braiding them. Secure ends with knots or by integrating them into other components.
Care and Maintenance
- Store unused components in the kit's original packaging or a similar container to prevent loss and damage.
- Keep finished bracelets away from excessive moisture or harsh chemicals to preserve their appearance.
- Clean components with a dry, soft cloth if necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Difficulty threading beads: Use a bead needle (not included) or stiffen the end of the cord with a small amount of clear glue or tape.
- Knots unraveling: Ensure knots are tied tightly and consider adding a small drop of clear-drying craft glue to secure them after trimming excess cord.
- Charms falling off: Double-check that all connecting rings are fully closed and secure.
