For this awesome tutorial you will need something to cut with (scissors, or knife), a lighter, a foot of one color and 1 1/4 arms lengths of the other color (Go 49ers!), and you can use a key ring or a small caribener.

Start with a overhand knot to secure it to the inner cords. Then do another overhand knot and keep doing up to the the key ring. Pay attention which way you do your knots because they all should be the same way. It will naturally curve
