Step 7: Fold one side to the halfway point.
Step 8: Repeat 1-7 with a new wrapper
Step 9: Insert points 1 and 2 into slots A and B, so it looks like the picture above.
Step 10: Continue steps 1-9

Step 11: Do step 10 till you get a chain like the picture above.


Step 12: Once you have reached the desired length, then you end it. To end it
fold one more wrapper the same way as the others, but then unfold the last two folds. Insert these raw edges into the same spots in the “V”. Pull the two ends of the bracelet close together, and hold the edges of your long “V” over both edges of the end of the other side.Insert the raw edges into the first wrapper. You’re doing the same thing we’ve been doing, but backwards.Tuck the raw edges into the previous wrapper, so it looks just like the other wrappers in the chain.
If done correctly, you are done! You now have yourself a cute bracelet!
