Jewelry glue - E6000 works great

.5mm elastic stretch cord

ruler

thin wire to make a needle (24 guage

scissors

toothpicks

Cut four 8 inch long pieces of paracord. One color or mix, whichever look your are envisioning.

Add a bead of glue into the cord end and insert two 8 inch pieces of paracord, on each end. Use the toothpick to insert the paracord into the cord end. Let dry. Some glues take 24 hours before they are fully set.

You should have two 8 inch pieces with both sides capped.

Start adding the beads you prefer. Make a needle by bending a two inch thin wire (24 gauge). Thread the elastic cord through the eye of the bead cap and attach the needle so that the beading is easier. Start and finish with the large hole bead if you have any. This will cover the eye of the bead cap and the elastic cord knot.

The length of the beading depends on the size of the bracelet. This design is intended to wrap around the wrist four time with a snug fit.

Here is a gauge for an ideal fit:

SMALL WRIST - 8 inch paracord : 5 inch beading

MEDIUM WRIST - 8 inch paracord : 5 1/2 inch beading

LARGE WRIST - 8 inch paracord : 6 inch beading

Lastly tie the elastic cord with two double overhand knots.
