This Shambhala bracelet version is pure Bling without the Ding, dressy or casual, fashionably chic. These bracelets are fun, easy to wear and quick to make. I made and sold many variations at local markets in the search for the perfect design. I ended up streamlining the stringing, the knotting process and coming up with my own variation - at least one I had not seen anywhere else yet. My customers loved this version as it is easy to put on and take off by oneself, and some of the problem that occur with the sliding closure are been resolved...
The new (July 2019) 8 page PDF step by step tutorial has over 15 diagrams & photos making this project easy. The instructions show the knots, the bead placement, it has sizing tips, plus it includes two methods to create the sliding knot closures, the side closure, plus the traditional floating square knot slide closure. The kit comes with two extra beads for larger size bracelets. If you have not made one of these bracelet yet or want to learn my techniques, get a kit or the PDF instructions by themselves. These kits are not intended for children jewelry.
In addition to the materials included in the kit, you will need scissors, a macrame board with T-pins and/or mini-clips or an alternative boards such as a clip board, a bead tray, cardboard or foam board, plus a SuperMax Thread Burner. An electric reamer is recommended if you are going into production, otherwise just reaming the pearls by hand works fine. > Tools
Personal Note - This kit was on my to do list for a long time... Oh, I could not help myself, I just added a bunch of new colors plus a neon-fluo mix version for summer fun > Fluo Mix Surf Bracelet > More on Blog

SuperMax Thread Burner - $30.00
aka Thread Zap+ or Super Zapper
Designed for working with wax models. With its additional battery, it burns hotter and gets to a higher temperature faster, so it is recommended for Chinese Knotting Cord and heavier cord such as Clown Bead Cord Tex 400. 9" (22.5 cm) long.
Tired of burning your fingers with a lighter? Use the best thread burner for Shambhala Bracelet and melting the ends of the Chinese Knotting Cord. Change the batteries when the tip no longer red-hot for clean melted ends! > Other Thread Burners

New Pro Electric Bead Reamer - Eurotool - $24.00
Perfect for enlarging bead holes and smoothing bead edges. Includes 3 diamond tips (2 tapered tips - one short, one long and 1 45º edge tip). Variable Speed Control 1,000 - 18,000 rpm. Use water or lubricant and let the diamond tip do the cutting, do not force the tip in. The bead tweezers with nylon jaws shown on this picture is good for holding beads away from fingers. Recommended for safety. Go to tool section > Tools
Personal note - An electrical bead reamer is a must if you plan on making lots of bracelets.
