2. Repeat until you have enough decorated pins to go around your wrist. A child's bracelet uses around 50 pins.

 
3. Cut two pieces of elastic cording that are each about 3 inches longer than the circumference of your wrist.

 
4. Tie a knot towards the end of each piece of cording. Then begin stringing the pins. Alternate the direction of the pins as shown in the photos below.

5. Test fit your bracelet. Then tie the cording ends together at the top and bottom. Cut off the excess cording and use a lighter to singe the ends.
