Again, I used a shiny, metallic embroidery floss to highlight the silver flecks in the cork cord, but you could use regular floss if you prefer.
Many thanks to Endless Leather for providing the cork cord for this tutorial.
How to Make a Herringbone Stitch Bracelet
Materials
- 10 mm wide cork cord (natural/silver)
- 10 mm wide magnetic clasp
- DMC Light Effects embroidery floss
- G-S Hyo Cement
- ruler
- scissors
- pen
- awl or large needle
- setting mat
- embroidery needle
Directions
My bracelet is going to be 8 inches around so I cut my cork cord 7 1/2 inches long and the clasp adds 1/2 inch to the finished length.If you have very narrow or very wide wrists you may need to adjust the length of the cork cord. Just make sure the cord is cut to a 1/4 inch increment. You can slide the clasps onto the end of the cord and try on the bracelet before you go any further.

First, you are going to use a pen to draw to rows of marks that are 1/4 inch apart on the back side of the cork cord. |
See how the marks make a sort of grid pattern.

Your bracelet is ready to wear for some casual summer fun!
