Hi here is a tutorial on how to make a ladder cuff. This is one of the most simple types of cuffs so I will do my best to carefully explain each step. *You don't have to use the same colors that I use or make the same type of pattern Suplies: About 3-5ft of string Beads Scissors

Step 1

Add three beads to your string and let them fall to the bottom.

Step 2

Add three more beads to your string but keep them at the top. Don't let them fall down to the bottom.

Step 3

String your other end of string through three beads. Both ends of your string should be going in opposite directions.

Step 4

Then take both ends and pull them in opposite directions.

Step 5

Once you do that it should look like this.

Step 6

Just like before add three more beads to one side of string.

Step 7

Pull your other end of string through the side that the first string is coming out of.

Step 8

Just like before pull both ends of string in opposite directions.

Step 9

Now it should look like this. Keep repeating steps 6-8 until it is at your preferred length.

Step 10

Now that your bracelet is long enough, fold it over in half. *Just noting that both ends of string should be coming out of opposite sides, just as shown in the picture

Step 11

Take one end of string and go through the three beads below. These are also the three original beads that you started out with.

Step 12

Now the two ends of string should be sticking out like this on the same side.

Step 13

Tie both of the strings in a knot just as you would tie your shoe. *I would recommend doing a triple knot

Step 14

Once you're done cut off both ends of string, but be careful to not accidentally cut the knot off too.

Step 15

Now it should look like this. You can wear it or put on a stuffed animal or doll.

Thanks for possibly trying to learn this. I know that my tutorial was probably very confusing so I congratulate you if you made it through. Thanks! :)
