How to braid rainbow bracelet with one string?

Step1: Braid first sun knot with one string

Unlike the sun knot tying techniques in our learning center, here we divide the knot into two parts:
1st, cut a length of 2mm nylon thread, fold in half;
2nd, create a loop with right working end, keep the end over the vertical parallel lines;
3rd, work the second loop using the left working end, over the right end. Go under the folded loop and then through the first loop from back to front;
4th, make the folded loop a proper size and then pull the ends tautly and this is one part of the sun knot. ;
5th, repeat the processes 1~4 with left working end firstly;
6th, tighten your ends. 
You’ve done your first complete sun knot!

Step2: Repeat the same pattern

Keep working the sun knot in step 1 one after one.

Step3: Make the closure of one string bracelet

Create a button knot at end. Trim off the excess thread and melt the cut with lighter.

Done!

OK, we've finished this rainbow bracelet with one string. And, you can choose to add some beads for a brand new version or to customize the jewelry design accords to your individual needs. Whatever, we hope you’ll love this one string bracelet.
