Step 1

Measure and cut 10" - 12" [25.4 cm - 30.5 cm] of stretchy cord and two 24" [61 cm] of red cord. Set one of the red cords aside.

Step 2

Fold the red cord in half to find mid-point and tie one end of the stretchy cord to the fold. Place a dab of glue onto the knot.
TIP: Tuck the knot and excess cord into the beads when you thread them on.

Step 3

Plan the bead pattern you would like to add to the stretch cord with the peppermint charm in the middle, then thread them onto the cord.

Step 4

Repeat Step 2 with the second red cord, set aside in Step 1, and the other end of the stretchy cord.
TIP: Tuck the knot and excess cord into the last beads added. Trim excess cord, if needed.

Step 5

ADULT: To make the sliding knot, arrange the ends of red cords so they overlap, and your necklace is in a circle. With the end of the cord overlapping to the left, tie an overhand knot around the overlapped cord. Turn around and repeat with the other side.
TIP: Turning the necklace around ensures your knots are consistent.

Step 6

Tie knots in the ends of the excess cord that hangs past the sliding knots.
