even.

all four cords, tying an overhand knot after each: 1 green ceramic round, 1
spiral charm, 1 turquoise ceramic round, 1 spiral charm, 1 pink ceramic round,
1 spiral charm, 1 purple ceramic round, 1 spiral charm, 1 orange ceramic round,

round, 1 spiral charm, 1 orange ceramic round, 1 spiral charm, 1 purple ceramic
round, 1 spiral charm.

3: Separate the cords in half
and tie 3 square knots in a row. Bring the cords back together and string the
Greek ceramic flat chip bead onto all four cords. Tie an overhand knot with all
four cords together after the flat chip bead. Trim ends to ¼” and fray ends.
