Cloud Design Tutorial

Cloud Design Tutorial

1. Pick 2 different colors. (The example uses white for the clouds and blue for the sky). You will need 3 strands of white and 3 strand of blue.

2. Align your string, fold in half, and tie knot ½ inch from fold forming a loop.

3. Attach your ½ inch loop to MYFBM under the butterfly clip.

4. This pattern has 10 strings (you will cut the remaining 2 after separating your strings). Separate strings by placing one string per slot. Note: Use the same color in slots 1, 3, 5, 7 & 9 (blue) and slots 2, 4, 6, 8 & 10 (white). This will align the colors of your bracelet pattern. You will have one extra white and blue string, simply cut these off close to the knot and throw away.

Due to the length of this pattern, it will be organized by rows to assist you. This pattern will have many repeating rows.
