So we continue to braid all the beads. After the last we make as many knots as we did before the first, i.e. symmetrically. Strongly tied, cut off excess, and the knot is treated with nail polish. Instead, you can use glue.

Between the beads you can do not only twonode, you can three or four, everything will depend on the tasks: the length of the bracelet and the number of beads. Many are interested in how to make a Shamballa bracelet double. The principle of weaving is the same, only the number of cords will differ.
