NO IMAGES IN THIS TUTORIAL ARE MINE!!! FULL CREDIT TO @MOOD KANDI ON YOUTUBE! https://youtu.be/cCy6-iftnh4?si=Ix417We183OYz_KG this cuff starts with an x base. if you don't know how to make that, I have a tutorial here! https://kandipad.com/kandi-tutorials/x-base-cuff-11260726
Step 1
Start with your x base cuff your string should be coming out from one of the beads on the edge like in the picture! make sure its one of the beads more inward, not directly on the outside
Step 2
add five beads on your string
Step 3
go forward three beads on the outside and go through with your string
Step 4
get five more beads and repeat step 3, doing the same thing
Step 5
repeat that all around the outside of the cuff! make sure its ONLY on one side
Step 6
your string should now be coming out of the third beads in one of your spikes
Step 7
add on two beads and go through on of the edge beads on the other side remember, it has to be one of the inward ones, not directly on the outside (if that makes sense)
Step 8
add two more beads and go up to the middle bead of the next spike
Step 9
repeat this all the way around the whole cuff! should make a bunch of 3D Xs
Step 10
add five beads to your string these will be the bigger 3D spikes
Step 11
go from the middle of one x to the middle of the next one over
Step 12
repeat this going around the whole cuff it should look like this!
Step 13
then, tie it off now you're done!
Thanks for using my tutorial!!! remember, none of this is actually mine, full credit to @Mood Kandi on YouTube! You CAN make larger and thicker mandala cuffs, just start with a wider x base and make multiple rows :3
