To braid the bracelet and tighten it without it escaping, you can hold it with a pin from clothes to a cushion. Do it for the part of the knot and the threads that go towards you, so the task will be easier.
Let's start braiding. You must first separate 3 strands on each side. Arrange them so that the three colors are in the same order starting from the center. If you look at the images, to the left from outside to inside is sky blue, white and navy blue. And to the right from the outside to the inside is also the sky blue, the white and the navy blue. You must go placing the threads of the ends towards the center. First you place the light blue on the left in the center over the other two wires, and it is passed to the group on the right, then the one on the other side is the same and will remain in the group on the left. Do the same with white, then navy blue, and so on.
Braid the bracelet to the length you want. When you finish make a nudo at the other end to close it and you can release it from the cushion.
