You will need:

•   Yarn
•  Beads

  Instructions:

1. Cut three lengths of yarn – they should be long enough to go round the wrist about three times.
2. Tie the ends of the yarn together in a knot.
3. Plait the first few inches of the yarn, you may find it helpful to pin the top of the plait to something.
4. Put a rubber band round the end of your plait to hold it in place.
5. Continue plaiting, this time threading a bead onto your middle strand of yarn and plaiting the other two strands around it.
6. Keep adding the beads until you have a few inches of yarn left, then finish with another simple plait and tie the ends in a knot.
7. Experiment with different types of yarn and various colours and sizes of beads. You can make the plaits as long as you like!
