Measure
Measure your wrist circumference — typically 18–20 cm. Calculate cord length at roughly 1 foot per inch of wrist.
No measuring tape? Use string or paper first, then measure that.
02
Fold
Fold the cord in half and pass the loop through one side of the buckle. This loop is your starting point.
Check buckle orientation before starting — it's easy to flip it accidentally.
03
Weave
Repeat the Cobra Knot: left cord over right, right through the left loop. Maintain even tension throughout.
Apply equal tension on every knot to keep consistent thickness.
04
Lock
Once you reach the target length, lock the final knot. Thread both cords through the opposite buckle clip.
Make sure both strands feed evenly through the buckle clip.
05
Burn the End
Trim excess cord with scissors, then quickly melt the ends with a lighter. Press flat with a wet fingertip.
Wet your fingertip slightly before pressing the melted end to avoid burns.
