2. Twist, braid
or knot rope in the design you prefer. Make a loop, and adjust loop
until inside diameter measures 2 1/2 inches (small), 2 5/8 inches
(medium), or 2 3/4 inches (large); mark end point with finger.

dime-size amount of hot glue onto glue pad; press rope into glue where
your finger is holding the end. Let cool to secure. Once cooled, cut
through hot glue at bottom end; trim strands at top end. Use hot glue to
neatly attach two ends together.

to form into a circle; keep in place for one minute, then remove. Place
bracelet on plastic wrap on a flat surface and press down to level it.
Let dry 2 to 12 hours (use a fan to speed up drying time).
