USB Cord Bracelet / Anti-tangling

Picture 267.jpg
This will show you how to make a bracelet out of a 3-foot USB cord.

It will fit a 6-7 inch wrist nicely, if you have a smaller wrist you can use a smaller cord.

You can also use this to keep any cords or wires from tangling (steps 1-8) it also shortens it to about 4th of it's original size.

The Chain Knot

The method used is called a "chain knot" which i'll use in these instructions.

To begin make a small loop near one of the USB heads.

Form the part above the loop into an small arch as shown.

Push the arch through the loop.

Now tighten, make sure its as tight as you can get it!

You should have a loop coming out of the old loop.

Now, like before, make an arch with the cord as shown.

And push the arch through the loop.

Then tighten.

Repeat this about 8-9 more times and move to next step.

Remember, as it goes on you'll keep making arches and putting them through the loops. You'll pretty much be repeating steps 1-7.

When finished "linking" it should look something like this.
